I did the pouch test, it helped stopping me from drinking with my meals and cutting pop completely back out of my diet. Have not slid back to where I was, but I am still slipping slightly.

I need to get myself more active but my schedule is now what is working against me. Between stress of planning a wedding and going back to school part-time with a full-time job, I am surprised I have time to sleep, lol!

Dropped 2lbs, but not sure if I have gained it back since I have been avoiding my scale, lol.

Trish, congrats on getting through the 5DPT! I'm glad that you found it helpful with your beverage consumption. My partner (RNY in '05) drinks a lot of diet soda and it's been one of his struggles, so I know what it can be like to deal with...

I know it's hard to find time in your busy schedule for physical activity - you have a lot going on now (but congrats on having a wedding and school and other really GOOD things in your life to juggle! ), but you can do it. You'll find what fits your schedule and still challenges your body and gets you moving again. Maybe some brisk, mind-clearing and stress-reducing walks while you're thinking of wedding plans would help, or stretching and calisthenic-type exercises when you first get up in the morning... I'm looking forward to hearing what solution you develop - best wishes on everything you're doing!

Hey Day... Just finished up the 5DPT... it really helped me get back on track. When I want a soda, I just picture how it will make my pouch "blow up" and stretch... Not good!

WEDDING??? When!!!??? Where will you settle, Canada or Wisconsin?

Powered by Protein,

Katie
