Hi All,
I've been doing well on SB. I'm down a total of about 10 lbs. since starting...my weigh-in day is Tuesdays. I did the two weeks of Phase I and completed one week of Phase 2 with a 1.5 lbs loss and then bam...my mom was hospitalized uable to walk and in siginficant pain. That's when it gets tough to be on any kind of plan, but I have to say I've been able to follow this pretty much. I've had a slip or two I won't lie, but 90% of the time I've been on plan. Unfortunately, they have not been able to determine what is wrong with my mother, but I have to say that I've realized that I need to focus on my health. My mom, who's given so much of herself to so many people for years...always putting herself on the bottom of the list, is an example to me that you need to take care of yourself. I don't think that all of what is going on with my mom is due to her weight, but I know that the pain she lives with is only complicatd by her weight.
I'm sticking with this - trying to exercise as much as I can and realizing that even when times are tough you need to be healthy.
Thanks to all of you who sent your well wishes.
