.....

Sad to say, this diet has officially put us in the poor house. I have been spending anywhere from $50-80 every two days on groceries. Between my husband's dumb, unpredictable work schedule, and my dumb, unpredictable sales income lately, we just cannot afford to do this anymore. Sigh. :(

We have learned a lot of great tips in the short amount of time we have been on this diet. I've discovered lots of great healthy snack foods, and we have all developed a preference for fresh fruits and veggies, as well as for whole grains. We will continue to implement these tips as often as we are able, and I will continue to provide healthier choices for snack foods. I will continue to watch my caloric intake and hopefully to ramp up my exercise as the weather continues cooling off (running outside...).

We will try to continue the pattern of eating smaller meals more often (3 meals + 2-3 snacks a day), as that seemed to really help curb my hunger, which in turn helped prevent binging at mealtimes because of excess hunger.

I will keep this blog open, and I will post as I remember, but I make no promises. :)

  1. Loved reading your blog, especially when there were photos attached. Did you lose weight? Do you feel better?

  2. I only lost a couple pounds, which was pretty discouraging. But yes, I feel much better when I eat this way!
