I did go back down to 142- it seems to go up and down- but I have not gone below 142....yet... but I am determined!
I didn't keep track of everything I ate this week but here are some of my favorites!
Taco Salad- without chips- super good!
Tortilla soup- from allrecipes.com
Meatballs in spaghetti sauce- with salad and green beans
I really need to exercise more! That will be my goal for week 8!

Week 6
I am feeling great! I love not feeling shaky when I'm hungry- I simply just feel hungry. I used to get shaky and start eating what ever was in sight and because I have gotten my blood sugars under control, when I feel hungry I can make better decisions. This is great!
I am going to start phase 2- the book says if you want to continue to loose weight that moving to phase 2 is what needs to happen-- we will see what happens!
Sunday March 23 Happy Easter!
I took the day off- I ate candy but did pretty good with the meals.
Monday March 24 still at 142.5!
Walked on treadmill today for 30 minutes- I didn't want to but I made myself do it- I turned on the computer and watched Samantha Who- it was 30 minutes long so I watched it while walking on the treadmill.
I'm feeling a little cold come on and (what the heck!) I gained a pound!
Oh no! I gain yet another pound! I'm back at 145! I don't know what's going on- maybe my body really does not like carbs? Max is loosing more weight now on phase 2 so- I'm boggled- I'll stay on phase 2 for the rest of the week- maybe it's just hormones or something?

Week 4
Monday-Tuesday
Well, the weekend went so so... We had a family dinner and Maren's birthday so I held myself back from the white rice but... not the rolls or cake or ice cream. Yes, I fell off the wagon! I'm 2 pounds heavier (147)but it was worth it. So I'm back on phase 1 (I never left it) and I'll stay on it until I'm ready. Yesterday I was good until dinner - I had pizza and cake. Today was hard! The kids were eating leftover cake and I lost it! I had to have some- usually it wouldn't have bothered me but since I had had it for a couple of days it was really hard. The rest of this week I will be good.

Day 14
Officially two weeks through! Max and I decided to keep doing phase one until Maren's birthday- then we will enjoy some cake and ice cream.
Today was another crazy day- we were out and about today so I brought some string cheese with me and some pistachios. My kids got pizza at costco for dinner and so I just ate some of the cheese off of one of their left over pieces. I seemed to be fine for the rest of the night.
