First Day of D.I.E.Ting

Today was our first meeting of the D.I.E.T program, and it was fantastic. We learned about how fats, proteins and carbs affect your body and specifically your blood glucose level. It has been over 10 years since I was certified in Nutrition and I am so thrilled to be revisiting all of this invaluable information. Besides, I think a lot of it went right in one ear and out the other when I was 20 years old and could eat whatever I wanted without consequences - does that sound familiar??

There was a terrific article in today's Desert Sun about the program, and the phones have been ringing off the hook all day - so we are adding a second session of the program on Saturday mornings beginning in February for those who missed out this time around. I can't recommend it highly enough. Anyhow, I'll be updating the blog with snippets of what we are learning as we go along. Meanwhile I'm down another .5lbs today - and at my prepregnancy weight. I'm not going to set a long term goal, but I have informed my husband that I want an Ipad so I'm thinking when I get to 20lbs I'm going to reward myself, and 30lbs might mean a new wardrobe . . . but we'll see how that conversation goes.
