How is everyone doing?

My day to day is going well. I'm starting to see some small results and I'm feeling more even energywise.

I had a rough weekend solo parenting out of town. I relied on premade food from Whole Foods. I chose to have a drink at what was essentially a memorial service but otherwise managed to follow the guidelines.

I just realized that my college roommate's wedding is next weekend and it would normally be an occasion where I would definitely drink (out of town with DH). I need to think about what I'll do.

I'm on Day 14 and doing pretty well. The actual eating part is way easier than anticipated, but the cooking and grocery shopping is a pain. The biggest change I've noticed is that I don't get hangry at all. I'm barely hungry ever, and even when it's time to eat, I feel fine. In the past, I felt shaky and hypoglycemic all the time. My (crazily sugar addicted) DH is doing it with me and feels good, too. We are both amazing that we made it this far but it's actually not that hard.

We are traveling to NYC next weekend for a wedding and I have no idea what we'll do. I think we'll just do our best but I can't see us not drinking at the wedding. We'll be like day 22-26 at that point. I also have a girls dinner early next week but I think I'll eat beforehand and not drink. I love having a few glasses of wine, but it's definitely one of my triggers for overeating and generally makes me feel gross.

We are finishing up day 20, and it's going great! I can definitely see is continuing to eat mostly clean for a while. I know you're not supposed to, but we have been weighing ourselves weekly, and lost 10 pounds in the first two weeks!

I'm thinking of doing this with DH for the month of May. I'll probably have to talk him into it though, but since he has a chronic joint pain condition and I do the cooking, he might be game for it.

@LAZB: those look good! Adding to my Pinterest board!

@Mrs. Oreo: I do all the cooking too and DH is in. Still deciding if he can give up sugar in his morning coffee, but otherwise he has no concerns!
