I am a newbie!!!

[lancelotsgirl]

Hello everyone I am new here and wanted to introduce myself. I have four children and work very crazy hours, but I am tired of the excuses.....so here I come!
I have been reading the board for a few weeks and have found everyone very inspiring, positive and helpful. I feel joining is really going to make a difference!

Welcome to the best thing that ever happened to you!!!!!

Me, I was just a big lazy ***. But with the help of these folks I had great success and know that YOU WILL TOO!

one point of advice I can give you when you have crazy hours is to spend your day off cooking. Cook as many meals as you can. That way you won't be in a rush and grab something illegal. Ziplocs and microwaves are my best friend! Keep plenty of snacks around in case you ever get stuck or get a craving!

best of luck to you!

Nah-ah! Really? That is adorable! BTW, what do you mean by "virtually" cheat free?

Re: I am a newbie!!!

Yes, I am serious. He is my second husband and his name is Lancelot, but he goes by Lance. When I first met him I had no idea his name was Lancelot and he didn't know that Genevieve was another form of Guinevere.

Sillygirl- I mean virtually cheat free because I have probably been having more than I should of coffee and I can not give that up yet...my life is too hectic not to have the caffeine right now. I will give it up, but I'm not ready. So to me that is "cheating" some because according to the book coffee should be given up on induction.

Re: I am a newbie!!!

LOL! For what it's worth, I am a by the book eater, except for coffee! I'm a true officianado/addict of the brew. It has not stalled me. If it doesn't affect you, my opinion is there's no need to give it up. If you think it may be affecting you down the line, certainly you can always stop drinking it.
