Beware! Men have different hormones. My husband can lose pounds twice as fast as I can (when he diets!)-

Today I had more protein than veggies, but my fingers are a bit swollen, so there must have been hidden wheat or more salt than I THOUGHT.

I need to get back to exercising...my voice is still horrendous, as is my cough (dry, hacking), as soon as I move faster than a snail, so I guess I still should wait a bit longer.

What specific exercises are you talking about? And are you doing them? I was given a food list by my doctor and told to walk 30 minutes a day. For the protein plus veggie days, were you given either a maximum or minimum amount of protein? They say "unlimited for the protein days.

more tomorrow...
