Today ends phase one of the South Beach Diet. Now I get to reintroduce milk, cereal, bread and fruit into my diet. I have to admit, I did cheat a few times- a couple bowls of cereal here and there, some chocolate.....all in moderation. I continue to really watch my sugar intake- buying sugar free (sucka free as Thomas says) or low in sugar foods and staying away from candy and other goodies packed with sugar. I have noticed I'm feeling better.....less belly aches, no more light headedness. And the overall feeling of taking better care of myself. I have started walking too with the girls which has been so nice. I am really striving to better my eating habits for life.

Thomas started working nights last night and I hate it already. His day starts around 4:30 pm and ends around 4:30 am. So when do you think we get to see each other- NEVER. Well, except in the morning when I get to watch him sleep while I'm getting ready for work. I do come home for lunch which gives us an hour together. I know we will make it through it but I just hate him not being here.

On Wednesday I have an appointment with the Orthopedic Doctor. I have been told by my doctor I have Scoliosis- which I kind of have known since I was young. In gym class around the 3rd grade the nurse said I had a slight curve but would grow out of it- not so much did that happen. So on Wednesday we will see what the plan is to treat this- a funky back brace maybe.

I want to go back out on the boat!!!
