Gerber Stage 2 Apples and Cherries, Please....

That's right folks, I am moving right up that nutrition ladder and am at the same level as a 6 month old!!!  Let's all be glad that at least I can walk and I am NOT still in diapers....

But this week does mean that I get to switch to foods that are mushy, applesauce-like, and not of much more flavor than last week...but little by little, we will get there.  Tonight I had a 1/2 cup of low-fat cottage cheese...and 2 hours later I AM STILL FULL!  Shut the front door, I know!

Also on the menu this week are insta-spuds (fortified with unflavored protein powder), the above mentioned Gerber Stage 2 fruits (which also include mangos, apples and blueberries, and peaches), a new protein shake that does not require pre-mix or the fridge to keep in my car (see the post about the bad hospital choices)....and I can bring back my beloved (honestly) Greek Yogurt.  I am going to try it with some cinnamon as recommended to me by a friend.....Oh my gosh...and I almost forgot!  I can have blended tuna or chicken salad!  (Insert gag or yum here, whichever you feel is more fitting.)

I am now down what I feel is an impressive 23 pounds since the day after Easter...12 of them in just the past week.....I was told that the first 50-60 would come off fast and then the real work will begin...and I will take those easy pounds any way I can!  If only we could choose the LOCATION that the fat comes from.....my tends to come off my upper half much faster than my lower half, much to the sadness of my husband....

I hope you all had an awesome weekend...and are looking forward to a great week!
