Greetings and felicitations!

Welcome! I invite you to join me on my journey to better health and well-being. Believe me, if I can do this, so can you!

My promise to you is no preaching, no soapbox, no lectures. This is going to be about what worked well for me -- I will comment but that's it -- take what you will from that. I figure, the book doesn't preach, so why should I? Feel free to post questions or comments -- and pass along the link to anyone who you feel might be interested. The more, the merrier!

However, I am only human...expect the occasional foot-stamping tantrum when I want chocolate...

Day 22 (Activate Cycle Day 4)

136 lbs...

I'm liking this steady loss!  It's like I'm slowly melting away...

The cute white capris were pretty loose today -- next time they're washed they might have to put them in the dryer and hope for some dramatic shrinkage -- I need to hang onto them for a while longer.  I'm not ready to shop just yet...

Today's menu:
Breakfast -- 6 oz vanilla yogurt, 1 peach, green tea
Morning Snack -- 1 naval orange, coffee
Lunch -- Dr. Mike's freaking amazing, super delicious, "why didn't I ever think of this recipe" taco salad, probiotic supplement
Dinner -- Denny's "create-a-slam" -- breakfast for supper (2 scrambled eggs, 2 slices turkey bacon, small dish of vanilla yogurt with a very small serving of red grapes/strawberries) -- not sure this was the best choice (I know, that was the carbs after 2:00 and turkey bacon isn't actually allowed until Cycle 3 -- bad, bad, Traci...) but I just couldn't face the fish entree (tilapia) or another salad...

But, hey, at least I resisted the lovely home-baked muffin that one of the students brought in for me -- and the Tim-Bits another student "donated" to the kids that were testing today -- and the sugar cookies that are calling me from the kitchen counter...

That's it for another day!  Going for my walk in Glenmore Park in the morning after I drop the kids at sailing school -- that will be a nice change of pace -- might just do that for the next 10 days...
