One week down...the results are stunning. I weighed in yesterday and I am down 7 pounds!! Holy cow! I do not look different, but I feel like I can really do this now. I have done a really good job at sticking to the diet, even after going through all the craziness of our schedule this past week. I missed my telephone conference because we were doing family things, but I was excused. I feel like I missed out on some valuable tips and suggestions, but family time is more important right now.
I finished up my Christmas shopping, with the exception of the few things I need Jeremy to grab for Ryan, and I am feeling a lot more settled.
We bury my Nanny today...it will be so hard, and I am really worried about my dad. It is never easy to lose someone you love, no matter how ready you think you are. She is no longer suffering and is no doubt partying like a rockstar with my sister...and her daughter...and her husband...and her momma...and all of the other loved ones we have lost over the years.
Happy Tuesday everybody.

Day 3...4...5..oh my.

I am on day 5 of the KU Weight Control and Management Clinical Study. It is not too bad - I have to eat so many shakes and so many of these pre-packaged entrees that they provide for me. Along with that, I must eat a minimum of 5 one cup servings of fruits and vegetables. I also have to drink at least 64 ounces of water a day. It is basically this.. www.hmrproducts.com but the quick start set - I do not get the cereal or the snacks.

I weighed myself this morning - just to see...I am down 5 pound. CRAZINESS. I am super excited about it....

On a less happy note- my grandmother, Nanny, is dying. I pray her passing is peaceful and painless.

I know its been awhile - but this caught my attention, and it is pretty important. Go check it out.

Say hi to my friend Mel while you are there.
