Oh! Rats!

Here I went and posted this awesome blog about my commitment to South Beach and weight loose, and within hours I got all this wonderful support from my even more wonderful friends...and now we aren't going to do it. Now at least. See, this is how I spent half of my day-in the ER with John. Again. He was in serious pain. Which is not what caused the diet flop. Well, directly anyway. We were both doing good (hey, one meal down...does that count?) I had a egg and tomato omelet for breakfast and a handful of nuts for a snack. And John had a hard-boiled egg. He didn't get to eat again. After I took him home from the hospital I went back to work, and I stopped and got a grilled chicken salad, no croutons and low-fat dressing used very sparingly. And another handful of nuts. Go me. But when I got home John told me that he just didn't feel like he could handle doing this diet right now given how much pain he is in. He ate a handful of pistachios when he got home. That's it, cause he didn't know what he could eat and didn't have the energy to find out. AWWWWWW. My poor guy :( He also usually eats cereal or something soft like that when he is really in a lot of pain. Not so SOBE.

So, we decided to put the South Beach idea on the back burner until he visits the pain clinic, which will hopefully be soon! Then, depending on what happens there, we will try again. But thanks for all your support. And enjoy knowing how much I weigh. Haha :) Everything I wrote still applies...we will just hold it over for a few weeks.

By the way, dinner was spaghetti, meatballs, and another salad. Already off the wagon.
