Boston Kreme Kravings

So I made it through the first meal, Friday night Pizza for all. It wasn't as bad as I was expecting. I made an HMR soup for the first time and it was really good. I was so relieved I kept it down because it does have milk. So hopefully this lactose thing won't be a problem. I am experimenting slowly. I was only able to have a few ounces in an hour...but it has alot of protein so I was psyched. Next time I will just make have the soup packet so I can have 2 meals out of it.

Had a nice day yesterday, Aly and the boys came over with my parents and stayed for the day. The kids played great and Aly and I were able to go out for an hour so I could do some errands. We went to a couple nutrition stores so i could pick up some more Isopure and scope out some lactose free protein powder. Of course now I prob dont have that problem but it will prob be easier on my stomach anyway. I picked up some Cookies and Cream so I hope its good. For $45 it better be!

Lisa and the boys came over for a little bit too...it's always so nice to see the 6 boys playing together- they are such a rough and tumble crew! I was thinking what a great neighborhood we have. I love when Ken up the street walks by with his dog Jesse -which he does several times a day. Nick gets so excited and yells "Jesse!" and runs out to greet them and pat him. All the boys went over to see them yesterday and it was so cute. Then we took a little walk down the street and Joanne and Maureen came out to see how I was doing. Everyone is so friendly and we have a nice community feel here on Valley Circle. We are very blessed.

So I am gearing up for the donuts and big bbq later today. My parents love donuts and so does Nick, so Lew is going to DD's. I may go for a walk. Every day it does seem to get a bit easier. It is alot easier than when i actually had a choice to eat it or not. When I was on a diet (when wasn't I?) I would usually just cave and end up eating whatever it was anyway- thinking how I would just deprive myself the rest of the day or do extra exercise. Well none of that ever worked so at least this is working. I'm down another pound today- I seem to be losing about a pound a day. It's crazy. I am anxious to for my appt on Tues so I can ask Dr. Ameri when i can do some strength training- i dont want all that flabby skin- need to do arm work asap.

Mom and I are going to get a mani pedi today so that will be nice. Watched the Grey's Anatomny finale last night- oh man that was sooooo good. Love that show.

Well it's off to the races....thought for the day:
