Or so I hope. When we first started seeing doctors and what not we both knew we needed to be healthier that it would help with things we were struggling with... (or so we thought). And even though it hasn 't helped we know for our health and quality of life that we needed to do something. So on Tuesday we began South Beach Phase One... which I figure will be the hardest two weeks of my life. No carbs, no sugars, no fun basically. No it's not that bad but it is very restrictive. And eating out at the Mexican restraunt with friends was torture but I was good. No tortillas, no chips, no rice. I got fajitas and ate only the meat and veggies. So it's not too bad especially if you like meat. Day one was so far the toughest... I was babysitting in a house with 2 plates of brownies... and hungry all day. Mind over matter.
We'll see how this works. Jimmy does so much better than I do. He takes it off and gives it to me. Keeps it off. I gain whatever he loses and lose it and gain it back. More of a yo-yo. So I hope this is a life change.
Especially since we are hard and heavy on the adoption track again. Right back where we were at this time last year. It's ironic how things have happened at the same time frame as they did last year. We got the bad news at the same time and everything... but in a way I'm glad that we did because now we have done the research, went through the adoption classes, and chosen the agency. Now I'm just waiting on said agency to get back with me so I can send in the pre-application,. Then the waiting, praying, and paperwork begin.
So maybe with a new diet, a new outlook.. maybe some more new things will happen...
