My 500 cal FAQ is now linkable under my FAQ's area!!!

Thanks goes to Winston and Jeanne that answered my FAQ about men yesterday. I know there are more men out there (Marshall, Paul, Jeff, Dave to just name a few) that I would just LOVE to hear from!!! If you could just take a moment to fill out this form, we all would appreciate it! If you would like to give the information but prefer to remain anon, just let me know ok???

Men and the Protocol

Ok, what did I eat yesterday? More of my Thai Hot and Sour Soup with Chicken, really lovin' this stuff I tell ya! For dinner it was Catfish Creole, but I threw in some cabbage, didn't eat my evening fruit so I subbed tomatoes for my fruit. Drank my coffee in the am with 2% milk and ate an apple.

So now I am 1.6 under my LIW - that is what I am talking about. I am starting this P3 like I started my FIRST P3 - going down, down, down! I love that wiggle room I tell you. I feel differently going into this R3P3 - I feel I will again just breeze thru it like I did my first one. I don't know why I feel that way, I just do.

Thank you all for the really nice words for my son. He is looking forward to seeing family tomorrow!!! Good for him! He gets to get all the accolades and such from them and he deserves it I tell you. Even tho he struggled this time, he really outdid himself. Over 40 lbs for a teenager is really saying something ya know?

Well guess what people, I am going to find it very hard to remain "profound" over the next week or so. Things are going to be extremely hectic visiting people we all haven't seen in quite a while. I will check in daily, but it will be more like what happened when I went to NOLA - but don't worry, I will be staying on the straight and narrow, at least I think I will! ROFL

Updates on son and JPS? Doing just peachy! She lost another .6 so that puts her at 152.8 - she was thrilled to see that number, and my son stayed the same.

On to my commenter's:

Mary - Yes, he is a brave soul, especially since no one knows what he looks like out there in cyberspace! LOL

Crystal - I am sure there are more than a few men on the brink of doing this. It has to sound so incredibly 'foreign' to some, what with what we are injecting and then surviving on 500 cals to boot? OMG! I will be sending positive thoughts to you about your father, hoping he makes the right decision!

Amy - HA! I didn't notice that until you said something! I would think it is just the nature of the beast ya know? The whole male/female dynamic. Men (sorry guys, but this is my perception) still have to give off that "macho" vibe and maintain a certain amount of 'indifference' I would think. Men also apply this protocol most of the time very logically. When they journal in their blogs, if they have one, they do it JUST as a journal. But we as women do it for support. But I am just guessing here. I have yet to understand the male psyche. And they say WE are difficult! ROFL

Tracey - Thanks girl!

Becca - how much does your hubby have to lose? Have you shown him my son's pics? That has convinced some men to start.

Take care!
