Yay for supportive husbands!!!!! It helped my husband to make the decision after we watched a couple of documentaries on Netflix about eating plant based. Forks over Knives, and food Matters (I think that's what the latter is called...not sure). But overall, he said he wanted to support me, so he'll do it too. He tends to just eat what I give him too...I haven't had any complaints. LOL

That is a good man! I have watched those also, and one about commercial chicken houses, which is why I started raising my own.

It helps that my dh is not a picky eater, he likes everything.. lol.. and he doesn't cook..

My house is crazy this morning. Getting a new roof installed. I can't believe we have been in our house long enough to need a new roof...lol 25 years. So I am leaving for a little while gonna hit the grocery store.

Wow that's crazy. Nice house btw.

We're just about in the same boat still...except the cook part. LOL I do the majority, but he gets the itch to grill or cook eggs and bacon, like last night.

So, since I have my counter...I told him yesterday, "Let me know if there's anything you need from the store. I'm going to make a list." He says, "What?! I don't have to eat frozen food anymore?!?!" LOL poor thing (and kids).

Yesterday I was sluggish. I'm equating it to the lack of liquids. I didn't really focus. So, I went to bed early, slept for about 8 hours. I'm finishing up my bottle of Water now. Got to get that first one in, before I start my coffee. My kid's last day of school was yesterday, so I'm happy about not having to get them up and ready for a couple of weeks until camp. Now, it's time for me to start getting ready for work.

Oh, I flexed my arms yesterday, I was happy to see my muscle doesn't look like it's too far gone. Can't wait to get back to the gym. LOL

Ya'll have a beautiful and blessed day!

Sorry for late posting. I ate some deli slices of turkey and some cheddar cheese. It's going down well but its been a half-hour now i can drink water.

You guys have the sweetest husbands you make feel that there is hope for me to find my true love. Unless someone broke the mold of great husbands.?

I keep forgetting to wait 30 minutes after eating to drink. I think it is because I was on liquids for so long and it didn't matter. I think I will set a timer starting today.

No need to apologize hon. I'm glad it's going down well. I literally count the minutes till I can drink something! lol. I think once we make this a good habit (usually takes about 14 days for a habit to form), it'll be easier. I would love to drink something right afterwards still. I think what's helping me a lot is knowing that you all are doing the same and well too. It's encouraging. Thanks for that!

UPDATE: ok...except @Apple1...LOL Get that timer going. LOL

There are THOUSANDS of great men that can be great husbands out there! I'm assuming you're single based on your post. So, with that...you have it best really (in my opinion) to just really truly focus on yourself. I think you have children too? Older? So, yeah, enjoy your time. Take care of you. Live it hon. A good man can come along...have faith.

BTW....I am supposed to be working. LOL But I'm having a great conversation with ya'll now.

@Sweet as peaches listen to @Newme17. There are plenty of good men out there, and plenty of time to find one. You are such a sweet caring woman any man would be blessed to have you.

I'm good. Actually retired from dating and can't wait to start going places with my pre-teen like when she was younger. I definitely enjoy being single it is less stressful. It was just a acknowledgement cause men sometimes aren't the best so im just congratulating you guys on your husbands.

Well thank you @Sweet as peaches. We have been married 30 years. He was my high school sweetheart. I still believe there is someone out there perfect for you and when the time is right you will find him. Single is good also and I can where there are some advantages to just worrying about yourself.
