Food update

I am happy to report that I am no longer starving all the time. There are days when I get the munchies, but my appetite is now under control...THANK GOODNESS!
There are some new things that I have tried that are really good. Instead of grits in the morning I eat Oat Bran. It looks like grits and has the same consistency, just brown. Sometimes I will put some frozen berries in it and other times I will put cinnamon and cut up granny smith apples. YUMMY.
I cannot have white rice. I love white rice with black beans. I have substituted barley for the white rice. I have to say it's not so bad. The good thing about all this is I have been forced to get creative with food. Since I hate to cook, it actually makes it more fun because I can "create" things. I am the only one who eats most of it of course. I still make Brad whatever he likes. Still having some issues with drinks. I have been drinking decaf regular tea and green tea. I can tolerate it completely unsweetened, but a stevia packet every now and again helps.
I have had some cravings for sweets which I did not have before when I was starving, but I am hoping that goes away as well.

We got SNOW

We love snow at our house. I was at my dad's when it snowed in December and missed it so I was so thrilled that we had some more. Kiwi absolutely loves it of course and we enjoy running and playing with her in it. It would be really fun with some kids. I look forward to the days when we can sled and have snowball fights.

But until then...we just play with our pets

I decided to make a giant snowball. I made it as big as I could before it was too heavy to roll anymore. Kiwi decided to befriend it and I got a great picture. All in all I think we got about 5-6 inches. Church was called off on Sunday which I don't think has ever happened to me before. We relaxed around the house all weekend and it was nice.
