NEVER AGAIN

Well I learned a lesson last night. I have been struggling with getting all my protein in. I thought once I could have mushies and soft food I would be able to get it with cheese, milk, bean and fish. Well Lucy (my tummy) doesn't like fish. I've tried salmon, trout, tuna and last night I tried sardines. NEVER AGAIN. They were kinda dry and sitting in my chest. Normally I would take a drink to wash it down. I took a drink and it washed it up and down the kitchen sink. Not a fun experience. fish is now officially not part of my diet. Lucy has been grumpy all day today. The only thing she didn't complain about was milk. I Think I'll give her a break and have chicken broth for supper and some milk later on. I can tell I'm really low on calories and protein. I am exhausted.

On to better things. I had a great week last week. I bought a pedometer and got at least 10,000 step or 9 km each day. I hadn't realized how little I had been doing. Now my son (Draven) and I walk the dogs in the morning and my husband and I take them for a long walk at night. We went swimming. I used to sit on the sidelines and watch, I forgot how much fun it was to play in the pool with my husband, son and his friends. I also forgot what great exercise it could be. We bought Tennis rackets and played. We suck but it was fun. I enjoyed being out and being active and made my son very happy. Now to keep the pace up. Wish me luck.

Head Hunger or Jelousy

So it been 11 days. No I'm not really hungry. Actually nothing TASTES very good. That being said. My wonderful husband has been doing all the planning and cooking. He decide it was time everyone started eating healthier. Tonight he made a beef stir fry. I am hiding in my room. It smells absolutely wonderful. I Love stir fry, I love vegetables all kinds. Eating protien first will be strange for me. He's always been a pretty good cook, just not adventurous. Now he's trying lots of new things. I have one child that would love to gain weight . He's about 5'7" and 120lbs. My other child is going to have to watch his weight. He is 5'1" and weights 105lbs. My husband is a pretty big guy. He needs to loose about 40lbs. We have decided while I change my eating habits its time to create better habits for everyone. Wish us luck. Oh and it is definitely Jelousy , I'm really not craving anything.
