    I have not done well this month :-( To much stress, and emotional eating, not enough exercise. I found out this week that my huny is being deployed over a month early! I am not doing very well right now :-(

    As the wife of a Navy retiree I can sympathize with you. Even though most people think the Navy is a "safe" military career .. believe me it has its ups and downs also. I don't know what branch of the military your husband is in but it's all hard to deal with at times. And when you say the word "deployed" that is definitely a clue that he will need our prayers .. as will you and the rest of the family. I just wanted you to know that I will be putting you, your husband and your family on my prayer list. ((BIG HUGS))

    I'm SOO sorry to hear that. My husband isn't in the military, so I can't relate in that regard, but my husband was denied entry when we moved here in October (read my profile for more info), so it's been 6 months without him and we don't know when the paperwork will be done. SO I can relate to the suddeness of your situation, and the loneliness without your husband.

    hang in there--we are here for you, even if only by a little computer screen. ;)

    Apparently not exercising has been my secret for the last two weeks. :blushing:

    I try to drink enough water to fill our pool every day, I try to keep my net carbs under 75, I have my sodium under 900mg most days, I eat anywhere from 25-40 g of fiber a day depending on the day. I make a concerted effort not to eat anything past 6pm at night. I eat either creamy oat bran cereal or multi-grain hot cereal in the morning or a combination of both.

    Umm, I guess there's no real secret. This has been a good month for me, I guess.
