Sorry I am so late in posting.  Today has not been great all around.  Dealing with some major issues both for myself and my father health wise so many prayers would be appreciated.  This weekend was great.  Stayed outside all day, both days and did several things that have been lacking.  I feel so accomplished!  Still have a ways to go but we are working diligantly at it.  The next two weeks are going to be super, super busy!  Claire will be ONE on Friday...party planning/prepping is in full swing!  Got in tons of exercise this weekend...will be missing the gym for the next two weeks...bummer but some things are more important!

Ken   We all have our moments.  you are not alone.   I am not the perfect person to be give you solid advice but will try. 

Do you have any samples from your nutrionist?   I know I had sample well balance meals.  

Low carbs  -  high protien   and increase your fluids. 

Sample lunch may be a meat   with 2 veggies or substitute with one fruit.   You have to cut out the breads/white flours ...... carbs per days should be not more than ??? 30 -35    That means eating the burger and not the bun.     and no no combos    Combos mean drinks with sugar or carbonation(sodium) and fries    Just the burger without the meat....... 

carbs and sugars do make me hungry... white bread is the kiss of hungry!!  Not to mention the fill you up and not filling your brain....  

Eat grilled not fried    .... watch some of the grilled stuff too... they are saturated in sodium..... 

When buying meats at the store .... yes fresh meats   look a the sodium contents as well.   You would be surprised that they are injected with as high as 500 to 600 mgs of liquid sodium.  
What your lunch processed meats they are super high in sodium too.....  

When eating out I ask that the sauses be put on the side..... wow the calores!!!!   they can add 100s of calories to a meal....   

Increase your protien drinks.... they can get boring but boy they do help curb my appetite. 

There is a small booklet that counts carb/calories and the best part is that it has calories of the restaurant foods.... Scared the crap out of me.  It makes you think when ordering what you are really getting.... check the book stores for it....

You have done so well ... If necessary contact a nutrionist ... Feel for your brother

What is the NAWLS retreat.  I have never heard of it but it sounds interesting.
Thanks

Oh what a gorgeous weekend!  Did yard work, cleaned house, did lots of yummy cooking and had quality time with the family.  Got in quite a few walks with the dog.  Today is my Monday off from work, plan to be kind of lazy.  Hubby is home to fix the water heater, one girlie home "sick" (I see a pattern here that needs to be addressed), and our "son" is here still.  Sounds like a big family breakfast in the makings.  Got to take the oldest in for our eye dr. appts. this afternoon then it will be to the mall to start looking for a prom dress.  Hubby got his results back from his physical and we will be making menu changes here to address high cholesterol, bonus is that it will help us all healthwise.
