Day 90 Of My 99 Day Cambridge Diet Challenge

I am on my 10th day of Sole Source (SS) for my 99 Day Ultimate Goal. So far I have been pretty much 100%. I did have a few bites of stew the other day and last night some chicken breast, but other then that I've been on track. With Thanksgiving looming in 5 more days I need to make this time count. I am planning on having a meal with my family and then getting right back to the business of losing.

I still cook every day for my husband and I actually don't mind at all. In fact, I enjoy it. I'm very careful about taste testing for seasonings and all. It can be hard to cook like I do. I never use recipes and normally go completely by taste, but that can get you in trouble. Sometimes by the time I had dinner all prepared for him, I felt like I had already eaten! I'd still go ahead and eat with him though. No need to wonder why I had put on a few pounds since we got married.

So I'm chugging along and feeling good. If anyone reading this is also SSing until Thanksgiving and then planning on taking a break and eating, just keep in mind that your stomach has adjusted to your very low volume diet and will not be producing all the digestive enzymes and acids it normally would while eating a full food diet. You will be in a world of hurt and feeling pretty horrible if you overdo it...and let's face it... overdoing it is pretty much the definition of Thanksgiving. Be prepared and get some good Digestive Enzymes to take with your meal. Your local Health Food store should have a good variety. Choose one that has a long list of specific enzymes that break down all forms of food, not just something like papaya extract. You'll be thanking me later!

I'm Married!

We had a wonderful honeymoon there and I finally got to go to Disney World. I'm a bit of a Disney nut so for me this was the perfect honeymoon. Thankfully he is too! We stayed in an amazing condo right on the beach on the 14th fl. He is scared of heights so that was a bit unnerving for him, but I was in heaven. For those of you that know me or have followed my on the Internet you know that this was my ultimate goal 11 years ago, to get myself ready to meet my lifetime companion. In the physical and mental condition I was in back then it was impossible to imagine anyone would have any interest in me at all other then my doctors. I wanted to bring myself to a level that would attract the kind of man I would want to share my life with and I did!
