Diet!

Well the diet is going very well at the moment,Me and Bill have never eaten so much food as we are at the moment!!
It is very hard for me to make sure I eat 3 times a day because I normaly just eat dinner in the evening, so I am having to be very disiplined on that score!!
Bill is diabetic so he has always eaten fairy regularly so it hasnt been so hard for him, its just a matter of knowing HOW MUCH to eat.
We have learned to listen to our bodies and stop when we are full--not stuffed full, and it seems to be working, so far I have lost 5lb since last Wednesday and Bill has lost 3lb.
There are no banned foods and you can still have an achololic drink if you want, you just have to count the points, everything you eat and drink on this diet has been converted in to points and you are allowed so much free food and so many points per week.
At the weekend we did something we have never done before-- we opened a bottle of red wine to have with our steak, salad,and baked potato and we just had 1 glass each and re corked it to have with our sunday lunch, normaly we would have polished it off and maybe opened another one too!!! So we are being good!!!
We are looking forward to being in better shape for the summer and feeling fitter than we have for a long time!
