FriYay.... Dr. Don Nutritionist

I've been busy all week... and yesterday worked in the yard. I raked and messed w/ leaves for about an hour--ish. I was exhausted and went to bed by 700 pm. I didn't have classes today, but taught 12 this week. 

I have been cooking up a storm. I've made sausage n shrimp cajun dish that was awesome, fish w/  lots of veggies n sweet potatoes, navy bean and pork ribs in the crock. 

Today I'm making home made chicken noodle soup in the crock. Mmm it already smells really good. 

I have almost all of the laundry done already today... I mopped n swept this week and went to my meetings. So this has been a very good week. I didn't walk w/ hubby last night bc I had worked in the yard but we walked several times this week. I did get some yoga and qui gong in. 

Hubby has lost at least ten pounds this month and is doing very well w/ not drinking sodas or having sugar. This "heart" issue and being prediabetic has really scared him. I am cooking very well for us both and he is for the first time taking his health seriously. He will be sixty on his next bd. 

I haven't had diet dr pepper quite a while now and I have noticed a HUGE difference in my pain levels. I am so thrilled about that. I have cut back on sugar while helping hubby and I have lost some weight too. I have lost about 5ish. 

I was kind of craving soda yesterday... so I got a club soda / no sugar / at the Sonic and it hit the spot. I think it was dryness in my sinuses w/ all this wind. 

I had NO DESSERTS over the Thanksgiving holiday NONE. 

So, I'm really leaning on Dr. Sharnowski's diet and it is helping us both a lot. I'm very thankful that I got to go to Dr Don for a year before he left for Kansas City to work w/ the Chiefs. So glad he was my doctor for a year. GREAT nutritionist and helped me a lot! I just have to stick to the program. !!!
