Thanks! I feel okay, just tired, sore, kinda the old hit-by-a Mack

truck Syndrome! Really, though, I feel better than I expected I

would, so I guess that isn't too bad for a big old 49yr old woman.LOL

I'm back!

My goodness, it seems like I've been off for months- not just days!On Sun. I had to stay home with a sick kid- high fever and upset stomach- my first though- WEst Nile Virus. Kayla was fine the next day, but now is sick- and has been since Mon. I think Sam is starting with it now. I've been off my computer since Sun. morning b/c lighting struck right next to our house (scared us to death) and too out our phones and the computer/internet! It took us until today (Wed.) to get everything fixed and back up and running. So other than sick kids LIfe is good here. I've been CRAVING Chineese food lately and Mon. night we made some- beef & brocoilithen we made a seperate pan with spicy beef- made with spicy mustard, garlic (and lots of it) and teriyki. Then we toped it with some yummy wheat Japenese noodles! So basically LoMein! Man the kids loved the noodles- and could have left the rest- and they all ate the rice pretty well! Oh well! ;)Um....I need to find the link and do my allergy info. Other than that- I THINK I'm caught up??? Trish

Hi Paola!

Nice to see you! Congrats on the baby. Of course I remember you - and I

was thinking about you and if your baby had arrived not too long ago.

Welcome back!

[Guest guest]

Hello Everyone!

I'm back! For those of you who remember me.... I had my baby a month

ago (a boy) and am now ready to start watching what I'm eating again.

For those of you who don't know me... I look forward to getting to

know you all.

In the last trimester of my pregnancy, I completely fell off the band

wagon and went back to my old bad ways of eating. I have to admit

that when I was following the SBD way, I felt much better physically.

So.... today I am back on day 1 of phase 1. I need some serious

detoxing. I expect it to be a bit of a struggle because of my

carb-addiction BUT I am pretty determined.

The good thing is that I am back a pre-pregnancy weight... but I still

have 50lbs to lose

I am happy to be back and look forward to getting to know you all.

Paola

[Guest guest]

Hey Paolo...Glad to have you back. I'd been wondering about you and didn't

know when your baby was due. Congratulations!

Traci

[Guest guest]

Congrats, Paola!!! What did you name your little boy? I had missed

you and hoped we'd hear from you soon.

Good luck with doing phase 1, and I hope you get rid of the cravings

quickly!

Thanks for the welcome backs everyone!

I had my baby on January 7th. So he's almost 2 months old. I name him

. He's a good little guy.

As far as SBD, I survived day 1. Have the headache thing going... but I was

expecting that. I do have the cravings but I am fighting it. I have also

found that a piece of gum seems to be doing the trick (for now *smirk*)
