PHASE 3 – DAY 10

SHOPPING!!!! This weekend I’m going shopping! I’m wearing my only pair of khaki’s today and they are ridiculous. I have already taken them in on the sides, but they are still too big. I love that!

I also love PHASE 3. I am not counting calories at all. I eat what I want, when I want. I avoid sugar and starch and don't worry about anything else. Ham? yes Salmon? yes Green Beans? yes Quinoa Salad? yes String Cheese? yes Melon? yes Salad Dressings? yes Peanuts? yes Almonds? yes Mixed Nuts? within reason Sugar Free Pudding? yes Yogurt? yes

Yesterday we had to run down to Dad’s house for the evening and didn’t have time to cook dinner. We picked up a chicken salad from Wendy’s and it was great. Chicken, pecans, feta cheese, mixed greens. It was a good choice; Pricey, but a good choice. We paid more for one salad than we did to feed us both at In-N-Out.

Lanny was down a pound today. He is going up to the property today to mow lawns and chop wood. That should be good for his exercise today.

Sonny-boy is doing great. He is down 10 pounds and is so excited. I think he is hoping to at least match what his dad did. It’s amazing how motivating it is when the scale is going in the right direction. My next project is to get my two daughters to try it. Jilly Bean is under so much stress right now, she needs to be in a better emotional place before starting a diet. Heath Bar might really benefit from this because she is holding on to some very stubborn weight gained from taking a bad medication. Daughter #3 doesn’t need it, but WILL if she doesn’t stop eating all the cookies in my cookie jar!
