I've been SOOOOO busy with my new job, please forgive me for not being around as much as I used to!
Last week I spent the entire time at work on the phone, not the computer, so I've felt like I've abandoned the DIS!
Anyhoo... most of you know I've taken on a new job at a Senior Living Resort. Since I've been there I've converted half my staff to a low carb lifestyle... just because they're watching ME! We had a pizza party and they just WATCHED me take off the topping and eat them with a salad, they are amazed at the food I bring in to eat, but most of all they are amazed at my determination and drive. The line "you're so GOOD" rings in my ears!
One of my co-workers also lost 35 pounds on this WOE and she told me that they thought she was CRAZY. We started a walking club to get people motivated and now people come to me on off days and ask if I'd walk with them. It's so amazing!
Michael continues to AMAZE and appall his teachers and classmates. He's lost an amazing 35 pounds and 3 sizes. He is so proud of himself and I am so proud of him. The other day a group of kids surrounded him and asked him what WAS he doing because they see him eating cheesecake and brownies all the time. He informed them that his Mommy makes them low carb and no sugar and that even the candy he eats is the same way. He showed them how to read the carbohydrates on the label and what it means. I think he held his own class right then!
Today I'm going to my favorite half price consignment place to buy us both new clothes! All of our last year spring stuff is WAY too big! I was able to take the waistband of my old stretch pants and pull them over my shoulders!! Yuk Yuk!! Michael is not only smaller but TALLER so even if they did fit they would be too short!
I still read all the accomplishments and praises periodically on this, my favorite, board. I promise I will be back with a vengeance as soon as I'm back on my feet again.
God bless you all!

and I can tell from your post how happy you are with your lifestyle change! It's great that even though you are so busy with your new job, that you are still able to stay OP. I also think it's awesome that you are helping Michael to change his lifestyle, and lose the weight. Way to go!!
