We started the South Beach Diet again today (Monday) so no menu plan this week (as it isn't as simple as listing it). It is technically NOT a diet for us. It is a LIFESTYLE CHANGE for eating. For the first 2 weeks (Phase I) it will be a little hard because you have to follow their guidelines pretty closely in order to get your inuslin levels back to the way God intended them to be but you can fill up (using wisdom) on the items they alow you. It is hard but most definitely NOT impossible. I have included a link to the "Cheat Sheet" of foods which also gives more info about the South Beach Diet.

Reasons for doing this:

ME-I went on this diet almost 2 years ago and as of Dec 2007 I was down to about 135 lbs (down form 174 - I lost 39 lbs). Since Dec I have gained back around 10 or so lbs (I currently do not have a scale). My plan this time around is to help treat my PCOS.

For more info about PCOS please click here or click on the PCOS button on my sidebar.

My HUBBY: He has gained quite a bit more than 10 lbs (he orig. lost around 30-40 lbs) and wants to fit back into his jeans and get healthy again. I can't wait! I think my husband is very attractive but when he lost all that extra weight (and by no means is he "fat" now) he was extra extremely attractive (I know bad grammar)!

So if you are reading this please pray for us as we gain back control over our eating and bring our bodies back to being healthy.

Hi Micki!

Thanks so much for dropping by my blog to encourage me! I hope that you find a diet that works for you! Losing weight can be so difficult! And wow, dealing with PCOS...I know enough about that to know that you need prayer to deal with that too!

I am getting through this miscarriage...and with God's help will continue to be blessed by it! Right now I am just thankful to know...I just posted about it.

Have a great day in the LORD!
Blessings!

Tea Tree Oil I

I have heard so much about this oil and thought I would finally try it. My excuse to finally get it was I found a great little homemade recipe online for diaper rash (or prevention of) using Aloe, tea tree oil, etc. (I will post this recipe later). So since I will be switching to cloth diapers soon and wanted to also switch to a more natural diaper wipe (using the recipe I found in a spray bottle to a dry wash cloth makes a good "diaper wipe") I went ahead and ordered from my favorite little website http://www.vitacost.com/ and my items just came in a couple of days ago. **Even though I purchased mine online (I bought other items too) you can find this in lots of stores now including your local health food store. Sometimes Health food stores are a little higher in price so it might behoove you to call around to your local grocery stores or even retailers like Walmart, Kmart, etc. to see if they carry it before you go searching for it. This will help you plan your trip and yo

Let's Eat Organic! In Season and Out -

My family and I have been trying to switch as much as possible to all natural and organic. It is a bit overwhelming when you think of all the food that is out there to choose from. So I thought in order to make things easier for me when I shop I would compile a list of foods that are best to eat Organic while others are better to eat All Natural and then of course there are the foods that you just can't really get around or may be okay to eat. So to get started this is the Organic portion. For a good article click here . I used to shop mainly at Aldi's and supplementing at Meijers with a an occasional Wal-Mart thrown in. But I have to admit that I have a problem. When I go to the big superstores I get myself in trouble and end up spending WAY too much money because I always "wander" over to the other sections that do not pertain to groceries and always find something that I "need". So recently I have decided that I'm going to start shopping at Krogers fo

A Modest Ladies Survey

I saw this at Candy's site, Keeping The Home I would love to see your responses to these questions as well.  If you have a blog then post it and send me the link so I can read them (and others can too).  I'll put in my answers to the below questions, so make sure to comment and leave your URL (or answer right here on the comments) so we can read your answers. Do you wear makeup? Yes.  I wear just a bit on occasion.  I wear brown eyeliner, black mascara and a bit of neutral eyeshadow (browns or purples - not like royal blue purple but subtle).  I like to do this for my hubby as well as a pick-me-up to myself.  I also wear tinted lip glosses.  Once a year I get all dolled up to go to my Hubby's company End of the Year Party and then I wear my hear real fancy with a bit more make-up with a new (or new from thrift-store) skirt and blouse and of course got to have some beautiful stylish high heels. Do you wear a head covering? I cover sometimes as my Hubby is not quite co
