OK, I'm Back

Wow, I just realized that it's been 2 weeks since my last blog post, man, time does fly.   What the heck have I been doing?

At the end of Week 6, I am officially down 10-11 pounds, not too bad.  I sure had wished for more but I can see that I've had some set backs and I'm finally learning how to deal with them.

We had a great immediate family Thanksgiving, complete with all the fixings.   I decided to make a little cranberry-orange relish, but with Stevia instead of sugar.  It was good, but I think I'd add more Stevia next time.  Talk about pucker!    I did have my piece of pumpkin pie with my meal, but then I did offer my second piece leftover to my daughter that weekend.  Sure didn't need 2. (Family of 4, 8 slices, 2 each, we love pumpkin pie)    Once thing funny is that this year, we actually ate ALL of the leftover turkey, we had no leftover potatoes, gravy or stuffing because I made only a little (purposely), so we had sandwiches for the last few days for lunch, it was nice not having to think about what was for lunch.

My kids are telling people we are on a Meat diet and no sugar.  I've certainly had to correct them.   My son who is 8 thinks it's so fun to watch Jorge's videos especially the ones about the products, and he asks about how much sugar we are eating and analyzes everything.  Keeps me on my toes.   They also think that it's great that I've stopped drinking Diet Coke.   No one I know can believe it, but they are supportive.   I found that one of my favorite restaurants, Chipotle has fresh lemons by the beverage counter that you can squeeze into your water.  I never noticed them before!

So while I think I haven't lost the weight I should lately, I am down 10, and 3" on my waist which really is noticeable in my jeans.   I have to keep pulling them up!
