Okay. I think it's over. Wednesday night I ended up taking Catie to the E.R. just to make sure she wasn't getting dehydrated as she hadn't eaten more than 5 ounces all day. She wasn't but it was heading into overnight and as any parent knows, that's when everything happens. We finally got 4 ounces of Pedialyte in her so the doctor and I were happy with that. Both babies started eating better on Thursday and had semi-solid outputs. So to reward Nicky with being so patient the last few days when I was concentrating on the babies, we headed to the zoo. We saw a couple animals but I think his favorite part was sitting on the walkway overlooking the construction of the new elephant area. I spread a blanket and put his lunch down there with him and we sat there for almost an hour. I ate my chicken burger substitute lunch and some yogurt. Nicky had animal shaped nuggets and apple slices, rejecting the fries. My son, the healthy eater. So when we ended up at the plane museum yesterday, grabbing his lunch at McD, I got him the apple slices instead of fries. After a brief fuss at the thought of dipping the apple in the caramel, he happily ate all of his lunch. It looks like he's outgrown fries. I once again took my lunch. One of my favorites, turkey ham salad on pretzel roll. I just love that mustard base. It's so satisfying and filling.
I can't believe it's May. I almost hyperventilated this morning when I realized that. I have SO much to do in the next six weeks before we move. Like find a house to move into. There's a community garage sale on the 16th here in Kingstowns and I've been trying to purge the house. I've got four black garbage bags full of outgrown baby clothes! Luckily, my parents are coming to help me with the garage sale. Mom to babysit and Dad to help with the sale. And then I think I'll keep my Mom for a while. She'll be getting Diet to Go while she's here (like I'm going to cook!) so I'll be able to give you another person's opinion.
Last night we had the chili. We're a day behind due to not eating dinner when Catie went to the doctor. This is why I'm glad the meal plans are so flexible. By getting six days, we have a cushion for unexpected things and we don't waste food. So the chili was very yummy. I've mentioned it before but it's worth repeating that the little touches DTG give you make a big difference. Like a container of cheddar cheese to sprinkle on top of the chili. It really makes it feel like a home-cooked meal and not take-out.
Oh, and may I just say that once again, people are learning that quick-fix diet pills don't work. Hydroxycut is bad for you. Really? Can't possibly imagine why. If you have questions about what works and what doesn't, ask the DTG experts http://diettogo.com/ask-our-experts. I get just as caught up in the marketing as anyone else. It's very tempting to think you can take a pill and drop weight. But it seems there's such a surge of eating organic and healthy cleaning products. Why would we ingest a product that most of the time doesn't even say what's in it!!! (proprietary blend, my foot) Whew. Now I'm too tired to clean out the garage. Darn.

Way to plan ahead on taking your DTG meals with you. I must also admit I'm envious, I've lived in the area all my life and you've already visited more sites than me. Oh, and if you ever hear or find out there's a healthy diet pill that is a quick fix that really works, please let me know. I will quickly move my investments from hair growth formulas and anti ageing pills to them.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad to hear your family is getting over the sickness. It's agonizing when little ones are ill, especially when they are too young to tell you what hurts.
ReplyDeleteI smile with each post. You have a great sense of humor. Thank you!
