Hello All 
Just checking in to see how you all are doing with your goals this week?
Mine were/are:
1. Cut back on the carbs!
2. Eat more protein foods!
3. Drink ALL my water each day!
1.Cutting back on Sugar big time and it feels better already! Drinking my Carb Control morning shake which really helps!
2. Picking higher protein snacks through out the day! Cottage cheese, String Cheese, Egg whites ect...
3. Drinking ALL my water, making myself have certain amounts done at certain times of the day, that is the only way that I can get it in. If I wait then I am stuck with it ALL at the end of the day. I do my coffee (1 cup) in the AM and then water while at work. About 1 hr after lunch I have Diet Snapple tea as a treat! Also I cut back and not drinking any Diet Coke, I will try on the weekends as well but taking it slow so I can get it done this time!!!!
Ok how is everyone else moving along?
~hugs~

Good Job Deb! I'm glad to hear that you're feeling focused and good about it. So hard!!! I am having a lot of success this week too. Basically doing a modified South Beach Diet and feeling good. The one area I am having trouble with is fluid intake. The diet drinks (even non bubbly) have been shown to lead to weight gain, so I don't want to overdo it on that, and I just don't like plain water or plain water with lemon. Just doesn't do it for me so I avoid fluids altogether which I know is not a good solution.
Your posts have been incredibly motivating and helpful to me, so thank you thank you! And keep up the good work. Feels much better to be in control.

Amy,
Yes the water is a hard for me as well....and you are so right about the Diet Drinks (non bubbly) and gaining weight! It is the sweetners that are in it. That is why I am trying to cut them back as well! Having my Diet Snapple tea in the afternoon and one in the evening as a treat! I would love an option to just plain water but I dont think there really is one. I have also tried the Special K Protein mixes, they have the protein and you just add it to the water for flavor.
(bad lil icon, we should not be drinking and eating together...hehehehe)
Hun I am glad that we all can help each other here! This place really is just ONE of the major keys to success I believe!

Well...my goals:
* get all of my laundry done
* bring up my x-mas stuff from the basement and get the "heavy" decorations up (less to worry about post-op this way, I know it's not even Thanksgiving yet) lol well...tried, got the outside stuff up
* get my healthcare proxy copied gonna do it! need new proxy, but I will have it for surgery!
* go and get all of essential post-op groceries (I hate the grocery store) My significant other promises to get everything on my list while I am in the hospital!
* scrub the kitchen floor no. but I scrubbed the bathroom (clean enough for even my mother!) and cleaned my bedroom, even rearranged the furmiture in the living room! But the kitchen floor is gonig to have to be with just a mopping!
This week has actually been really crazy! So I did all I could, and that is ok with me!
