F15/ Day 7/ Gnanam -1lbs Tara -1lbs. All is well, I started to imagine food in my dreams and Gnanam needed a pep talk.
I cooked a spicy chicken soup, celery and onion with chicken and a Cajun spice (no sugar).
S16/ Day8/ Gnanam -0lbs Tara -0lbs. We talked about it and I think if we don't drink the amount of water we are supposed to (which we didn't on Friday) then we don't lose. :(
Dinner- Gnanam made a curry paste (using all the allowed products) and with cauliflower and chicken we ate good.

Your fat, your fat, you know it!
Okay, first thing. Photo bucket is having some technical issues, but assured me they are trying as best they can to fix the photo problem asap.
Second thing, We (Gnanam and I) have started a diet. I won't get into the details but I would like to keep you up dated about the progress, they say one of the best ways to have success is to record your successes and failures.
Day 1-2 (Saturday and Sunday) started eating like crazy and taking the drops. Gained 3lbs
M11 Day 3 (Monday) Low cal-high protein diet begins. Everything looked good that wasn't allowed and nothing looked good that was allowed. By night time both Gnanam and I had head aches. (I talked the Dr. and he said that is the most common side effect and should pass in a few days.) Gnanam's headache went away by morning and mine turned into a migraine that resulted in a welcome vomit followed by restful sleep.
*Cooked -Chicken in pieces with yellow neck squash in a pan with water and season all.
T12 Day 4 . Tara -2lbs, Gnanam -3lbs. The head ache was gone and although we were both still somewhat hungry, we both agreed that the first day was the worst.
*Cooked halibut fish in a pan with water and season all (I lacked creativity yet. well, I still do)
W13 Day 5. Tara -2lbs, Gnanam -3lbs. (We weigh ourselves first thing in the morning). We feel much better and I find that I'm not as tired in general. Gnanam claims he can play basket ball better.
*Cooked Beef steak using a BBQ mix (sugar free) I got especially for the diet. I also had cottage cheese for lunch instead of chicken.
T14 Day 6. Tara-0lbs, Gnanam -3lbs. I'm not sure why I didn't lose, but I'm guessing I've met my plateau, and will have to start working harder. But I'm still diligent in drinking my 8-10 8oz classes a day and taking my drops and I'm hopeful that things will pick up (or pick down if we're talking weight wise.)
*Chicken seasoned with Walden farms dressing. It's really great stuff and I'm sad I didn't discover it sooner. It's 0 cal, 0 fat, 0 sugar, 0 carbs, 0 cholesterol and gluten free. Believe it or not, Gnanam and I are sold, this stuff doesn't taste bad and we can use it to marinade anything.
(side note, I'm so proud of Gnanam, today we went to Grandma's house and brought our own food, and guess what they ate? all the best food imaginable! stuffed potatoes, honey BBQ'ed meatballs and green beans. [I seem to see food in more amazing detail now that I can't eat it] And Gnanam and I both didn't touch it, but we sure did stare a lot. :)
Stay tuned, more to come as the days go by...

Some Professional Pictures
I was teaching Helaman to army crawl when I got pleasant knock on the door from our neighbor Sarah, she asked if she could take some shots of Helaman for her photo final in a photography class she's taking. A bit later she dropped off a CD with the following pictures....
And my two personal favorites, Helaman loves to make us smile and does this face when we do it to him.

another laugh
Helaman found it really funny when Gnanam was making the bed and whooshing the blanket so I grabbed the camera.... and voila.
Also I got some shots of Helaman having a bite to eat.
Rexburg is known for it's cold days and nights (-20 ish ) so we have to bundle the little guy up pretty good, if we don't want him to freeze to death.
I don't really have a story other than he was happy to have his picture taken.

Like Father, like Son
Gnanam was watching some old French cartoons and was singing to Helaman the words, Helaman was of course interested in the noise and colors. he's turning out to be just like his Dad. :) (P.S. Gnanam finally cut his hair today, so this was his long curls, before the shave!)
The Last Days of the Year, 2010!
Our Good Friend Katie come over, she's been a great support to us, and she and her Husband moved away so I snapped a quick photo to capture the moment.
We visited Washington for Christmas Break, and we were lucky to have all the Family Home for Christmas, including my Brother Jacob and his sweet wife Suzanne, and of course a few silly pictures of the Helaman with them. I regret not having more photo's with the rest of the family but I guess they got erased. Bummer.
