Cold Weather

It's really cold here today, well cold for central Mississippi.  We don't get many cold days.  I enjoy the ones that we have.  I think it will be around 70 this weekend.  You just never know what a day will bring. 

Today is day 2 on my diet.  So far it has been ok.  Just wishing for some bread!  Tonight I think we will have vegetable beef soup.  Hubby will be bowling tonight, so just my daughter and me will be eating. 

She had her visit with her pulmunary Dr.  yesterday.  She has had pertussis (whooping cough)  took all the Dr's we went to over 3 months to find it.  We finally went to one that knew just what it was, although she was no longer testing positive for it.  Three other Dr's had diagnosed her with vocal cord dysfunction.  We have seen so many doctors since August and been in the hospital for 5 days with this.  It has been so good to actually know what she has has a name.  But they say she may be bothered with it for up to one year, since it wasn't treated from the beginning.  What makes me so mad is that I asked her first Dr if he thought it could be Whooping Cough (there had been an outbreak of it a few counties over) and he said " NO, not at all!"  She had had her immunizations just for some reason hers had worn off or it never took, not sure the exact reason.  But oh well, she is getting better, thank the Lord!

Just wanted to say hello -- and yes, it's COLD! Of course, we are in north Mississippi, but goodness, when the cold air drifts this way it certainly does its job!
I want to encourage you on South Beach. We did it a few years back and did very well on it. Ok, we've slacked off and didn't maintain the healthy eating habits we had learned at all, but it's a great 'diet.' It is a lifestyle of eating change that does work and works well. Stick with it, especially the first few weeks. Your body will go through some changes, and you could feel a bit light-headed the first week or so if you follow it precisely and your previous eating was no where near healthy. Once you finish the first few weeks, it's a breeze. There are several great Yahoo and MSN groups for tips and recipe ideas, and lots of encouragement -- I highly recommend getting in with a good group to keep you motivated!

Have a warm day and welcome to HSB2!
