Well, his eating plan worked...he is incredibly fit and lost about 35-40 lbs when he was gone (which btw, was never his intention...he was just trying a more natural way to reduce his cholesterol...NO ONE would have guessed that he could even lose that much weight cause he certainly was never overweight) so I am a new convert to his eating plan. I just finished my first successful week of "no chocolate or junk"...I know, it sounds like torture doesn't it, but I really haven't even noticed...which is even more unbelievable. But we are going to continue Shake Friday's so that we have a fun treat to look forward to in those weak food moments. I finally remembered to take some photos when we went out to ColdStone Creamery today...
I think that I have mentioned before that Kat is a HUGE Shake Friday fan. The hard part anymore when we go out and get a fountain drink is convincing her that she doesn't want that coke because she always thinks that a paper cup with a straw is a shake.
It's so wonderful to be able to do things as a family again. I love seeing them all together again. So go out tonight and get a shake with your family!!! {Your kids will love you for it!}

Christi, Ben looks great! And I absolutely love seeing the kids with their dad again. The one of Kat slyly sipping that shake in Ben's arms is so sweet!

Have a fantastic weekend sistah:) MWAH!
so glad Ben is back with you, what super family pics.
I have finally tracked you down over here - issue 47 of simply cards & papercraft. I was browsing and thought that some cards on the front had your trademark, and sure enough, there you are. Looking forward to that read.
Fabulous picture and you're right Ben didn't need to loose any weight~ WOW!
What a sweet way to spend time together as a family! Think I'll surprise my boys this weekend with a "shake" or Sonic Blast day!YUM.
Have a fabulous week.

Jacob looks so happy to have his dad home! :) I know you all are!
All I can say is, "yay, yay, yay"!
Yep! I seen the weight loss right away in Ben's face - give him a WTG from me - he looks great!
good luck on the healthy road, it isn't too bad to live by! I highly recommend the George Foreman grill for cooking-I have been greatly impressed with it.
Christi- great pics of the kids and their Dad!! How heartwarming to all be together again. Thanks for sharing the pics, I love the one with baby Kat sipping the shake. Too cute!! Happy 4th!!!
