Diet Update

So I made it to day 6!! Wahoo! I probably would have kept going but it was the weekend and I really wanted to go on a fun date which involved eating food NOT on my diet! :) It definitely felt really good to be watching what I was eating and I was never hungry. I pretty much had NO carbs all week so by the weekend I was so ready for a piece of bread and some pasta! I also ONLY drank water and this drink called Yoli that my mom and a lot of my step-family are selling. The scale said I was down 5 pounds which in reality means I probably lost only 2pounds, which is great for only going 6 days. I will probally do the diet again and try to go longer next time but not over any holidays or fun weekends cause I don't want to be restricted!
So for the whole 6 days I had Jason fend for himself.   I couldn't focus on making him meals and me and Kailah 6 meals a day so this is what Jason ate for dinner all week;
 mangos, left over mac and cheese, cottage cheese, and a piece of bread! and he was still complaining that he was hungry after his dinner.  oh and notice the paper plate!
 So when my diet was done I was SO happy to fix us a really yummy dinner;
 This week really helped me realize how dependent Jason is on me for dinners and taking care of the house. and how important my role as a wife is to him.   What's funny is I don't think Jason really understood what I meant by fend for himself this week. He kept hoping I would make dinner. He came home from work and picked up the whole house one night just to kill time before seeing if I would make him dinner.  Honestly I don't think he would eat healthy at ALL if it wasn't for me. We were talking about this and just laughing cause we both know it's true.  I remember what it was like working all day too and not wanting to go home and make dinner or clean and take care of bills etc... I am so happy I am able to do these things for Jason so he can do what he wants and relax when he gets home.  And in return he is making sure Kailah and my needs are met.   
Jason even jokes to the single guys at work that they need to find them a wife, and how nice it is cause they cook and clean etc...  I love that he is so appreciative of me and lets me know that! :)
