Got through it alright. Had fun out at mom and dads,talked to the Burtons about Atkins...it is similar to the Candida diet. It works. I don't really need it for weight loss but Laura seems to think it could help us with our blood sugar levels,and possibly steering us clear of diabetes later in life. So IF my husband would take the plunge it, would sure make things easier on me to be successful. We could not eat out as much which would be a VERY good thing for our budget. But eating healthy is more expensive. And Todd just bought some kind of miracle juice made with mangosteen. 30$ a bottle. I hope it made a 30$ difference in our health. Best part of Mothers Day this year was definitely my gift. Todd gave me his blessing to get a golden retriever pup. So After 12 hours of research I found a good breeder with a 30 mt health guarantee and only an hour away. We are going up there on Wednesday to pick out our news member of the Bacon family and to put a deposit down. We will go get our baby June 5th. Your formally invited to visit That Saturday after we get home. :)
