well, doctor has put ashley on complete bedrest. They are not sure that it was her water but said it could have been a small leak..she still has lots of fluid and the sac seems intact. She had cramps until about 2 am and then it just stopped. At this point every day she can keep baby in is crucial.

So. Grandma here has granddaughter for a few days to allow her to truly rest, as her dumbass husband is to lazy to take care of his own daughter for more than a few minutes. grr. Thats ok. I love having my Savanna here.

Yesterday was a hard day but I think I finally got the cravings beat . I cannot believe that eating that burger and fries the other day put me so far back in the war against the cravings. Won't be doing that anytime soon.

I am down to 154.2 this morning. Sadly I do not think I am going to make my holiday goal of 150, as I only have 10 more days..oh well. I still am going to wear my bikini and not give a fudge what anyone else thinks.

well...hope everyone is doing ok today..momma if the pain meds are not working..I find RUM boosts them

later peoples..

Lynn

Lynn I am sooo happy to hear that things are looking up with baby. I will keep praying that baby and momma stay safe. Yes Rumm mmm 1 cheat does mess with everything. When I go back to lc after a cheat I have horrible cravings. The third day is the hardest. After that it gets better and after a week I'm fine.

Stacy Yea for a 3 day weekend!!

Made it thru the first back but didn't get all my water in - only about 6 glasses - hope to do better today. Scales were good - 195.8 this morning.
Hope everyone has a good 3 day weekend.
Lynn - our prayers are with you and Ashley.

I'm marking my spot here.

Having a good day so far. 3 scrambled eggs with low carb ketchup for breakfast and munching on some cold, leftover steak for lunch. Not sure what supper will be.

Will be out of town until Monday and not sure if I'll be able to get online or not.

I will keep all of you in my thoughts and prayers with respect to all of us and our families.

Yummy I found some hot dogs that only have 1 carb. They are like $5 for one pack because they are some better brand or something. I put a slice of real cheese on some parchment paper and microwaved for a minut after I cooked the hot dog than as soon as I took it out I rolled it around the hot dog. It worked like a bun and tasted like hot dog with cheese and was soo good.

I have been reading up on different lc diets and was particularly interested in CAD. It seems to give slower results but people on it seem to like it. It also helps control cravings and gives just a little bit more freedom with one meal.

I think keeping my calories lowish, excercising and eating the CAD way, I may be able to do this. I'm feeling confadent at the moment.

Gizmogirl, I am praying for your daughter and her child. If thats the way the father is, then then your grand-daughter is better off with you.

Mommy, hope your feeling better, I'm sure Rum can fix a lot of things, for a few days anyway. Glad your eating right, it is really hard sometimes.

ljsmom, thats for the sapport, you ladies are great!

So, can I come and visit even though I am going to follow CAD? After all, we have to share the cabana boy and my cowboy.

I actually do good on low carb/low calorie diets. Some carbs don't stall me its just the cravings. Today is going really well, havn't had any concerns about food at all.

As long as I can keep from binging, I hope to do well. For my RM meal, I had a salad, chicken leg, 1/4 of a twice baked potatoe and green beens, no dessert. I followed the plan exaclty today, I even walked 3 mls this morning!

Hows the pain, are the meds helping? Hope you don't have to use Rum, I know its great stuff, but don't always mix well with pain meds.

Good luck sexy. I would love to know how it works for you.

The pain meds are helping tons. I needed chocolate so I made a chocolate muffin in a minute. It was good. I feel better now.
