did you miss me?

Doubt it...Well it's been a long summer. But, now it's turning cool, which makes me very happy. I'm glad I live in a part of the country where you see a least 3 distinct seasons.

I'm still on the South Beach...and holding steady. Last month, I had out-of-town guest two weekends in a row and a trip to western michigan. It was really hard eating out so much, but I did the best I would. It seemed like I was really good Mon - Thurs, then slacked off over the weekends. So, I kind of lost and gained and lost the same 3 pounds throughout the month. But, I'm holding steady at 128.5 this week. That puts me 1.5 pounds away from my original goal! Depending on how that goes, I might adjust my goal down to 125 and then move to Phase 3.

I'm glad I started this over the summer. I've formed some pretty good habits over the last few months. I'm finding some good recipes on how to make "comfort foods" that don't load up on pasta and potatoes. Hopefully, I'll be able to move into the colder season without piling on too many extra pounds. And, by the holiday season, I should have this way of life down to a science.

Oh well, I'm still around...
