Monday Morning Musings

It’s been a week since I started back on South Beach. I haven’t cheated once. Many of you will say this is incredible, since we are in the holiday season, but I look at South Beach as the way I should eat all the time. It’s a way for carboholics like me to live without ‘love handles‘!
In any case, today was weigh-in day. You always hope for a big first week, because after that it just sort of comes off a half a pound here or there, but nothing spectacular, if you know what I mean? So with great trepidation I stepped on the scale at 7 this morning, naked as the day I was born, save for the socks I wear at all times. I’d lost 5 pounds! Yahoo!!!
Shubi has been a sick little munchkin since yesterday. I’m not sure if it a reaction to the anesthesia or what, but she has been throwing up like crazy and not eating. I was up 4 times in the night with my puking princess. This morning I got out the baby rice cereal and mixed that with warm water and made it very watery. She slurped down some of that and I’ll keep giving that to her to get her rehydrated. This is what I did when she was on chemo and had the occasional bad tummy.
Hubby has gone off skiing. He is really into getting himself back into shape. I’m afraid his knees aren’t cooperating, and at the end of this ski season he will need another knee replacement. But God bless him for getting out there and working on himself, something I will be doing quite shortly.
I’m finally starting to feel better from this sore throat thing. Thank goodness. It certainly has taken forever! But I’m hardly coughing and the throat itself is hardly sore at all. Best of all, I’m getting my energy back!
I wish the spammers would leave Princess alone! Y’all would not believe the amount of spam hitting this site! I may have to do something drastic. It’s getting really crazy.
And how was your weekend??
