Day 8

Day 8 and I'm actually starting to *like* green tea. Crazy. I tried adding a TEENY tiny bit of Truvia to it (no WAY could I use a whole packet - blech!) and it made it just the little bit of sweetness that I needed (plus I"m drinking a berry blend tea).

I've eaten  A LOT of eggs. A lot of chicken breast & turkey breast & a LOT of salads. Whew. I am anxious to move on to some other foods, but I'm doing okay, I guess. I still long for carbs. A big crunchy, chewy roll would be fantastic!

I'm down 3lbs. Which is cool. I was hoping for 5 like the book says will *probably* happen, but I'll take 3. We'll see what happens the next week.

Oh, I've also hit my 10,000 steps a day goal every day since Sunday this week. My goal is to hit it all week long. Somedays that's pretty tough! If I had time to take a walk (sans kids) every day I  could do it no problem! Ah well....

Happy Friday!

Congrats on making it so far on the new eating plan. You're doing awesome! Glad to hear you got out on a walk all by yourself :-) I hope all goes well with the job where you had a second interview.

and IT'S A GIRL!! I'll do a proper introduction later and the whole story and everything but in the meantime, we had a baby girl. 2:15pm on Friday afternoon (I posted at, what? 10;30am? You do the math!!). Her name is Dahlia Marie and she weighed in at a whopping 6lbs even. 19 1/4" long and so incredibly gorgeous (although, I might be a wee bit biased). The birth was the most amazing experience I've ever been through and my mind is still, well, blown, quite frankly. I am so tired though...time for a quick nap before we try to feed again.

Privacy, please!

Well, the time has come. After 6 1/2 years (!?) Naturally Optimistic will be going private at the start of the new year. If you are interested in still reading my INCREDIBLY exciting posts & commenting on my cute children, email me & I will put you on the invite list. Like I said - it won't happen for another couple weeks, but there ya go. Time to make a change. I'm kind of sad because I've met some cool people - randomly - by having this blog....but the phase of putting all my stuff out there for everyone to read is over. Thanks!
