because he is a little snot bomb and has gotten me sick twice in last month. Even though I wash my hands like a fiend. ;) he is adorable, but his momma has carried him on her hip for the last 8 months and now he truly thinks that if his butt touches the floor, he will be sucked into a black hole or something.

Hi, I started with a protein shake yesterday morning and then my son made macaroni and cheese....Yikes. Had a couple of bites. Then I made stew for dinner and had a small portion of that but had a few slices (skinny) of this awesome cibatta bread. Had some pretzels at night. Funny thing is.... the scale went down. I lost 1.5lbs but I just started my period so I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it. My period hasn't affected my weight loss in quite a few months as it has in the past. So today I had a bagel for breakfast and then a protein shake for lunch. I am not sure what I am having for dinner and we'll see what the scale says tomorrow. Good luck to all of you guys that have the guts to stay on track. Keep up the good work. Amy
