Sunny 9 for 2005 February 1

I started Lily on rice cereal on Sunday and already she has been sleeping much better. I think she just needed the extra calories to sleep soundly for longer. She was waking up every 3 hours and it was killing me with exhaustion, but now she eats at midnight or close to it, 5am, 8am, and then wakes up between 9:30-10:30am. That is much better.

I started this diet on Monday called the Sacred Heart soup diet. It may be one of those fad things, but I really want to lose a little bit more weight, and I am pretty desperate so I thought it is worth a try. It may be one of those things that once you are off it you gain it all back, but we shall see. It is a 7 day diet where you eat this vegetable soup all day long, and one the first day you can eat fruits with it, second day veggies, third day fruits and veggies, fourth day bananas and milk with the soup, fifth day 20 oz of meat and soup, sixth day all the meat you want and soup, then seventh day brown rice, veggies and soup.

I can tell you that after completing one and a half days of this diet, I am so sick of the soup. It isn't that it tastes bad b/c it is good, but I just don't like eating it in the morning for breakfast. I am a major cold cereal eater and like that every morning. With this diet though, it doesn't work if you cheat at all, and no carbs are allowed except the brown rice, and oh yeah, tonight I get a baked potato- yum (pretty sad I look forward to a baked potato in my diet). I am also walking about 4 days a week trying to stay active.

I can't wait for the fifth and sixth day where I get to eat steak.
