Fad Diets - A Temporary Fix . . .

I guess I will celebrate this as my ONE YEAR AT GOAL ANNIVERSARY.  And
maybe that should read "at goal or below goal".  I reached goal on May

has been and continues to be my WI day.

I'm just catching up on posts and will have the webpages updated

I was with DF for almost 3 weeks, up until Tuesday when he went off to a
conference.  I've discovered that while I truly do enjoy being with him,

Got back off holiday today.
Had a good time in St. Ives. Too much sun and too much food.
If you are ever in St. Ives you MUST try the Mermaid. Apparently their
Mermaid seafood soup has real mermaids in it :)

Dang, up a pound!  That'll teach me for putting gym membership on hold!
Back at it, glugging H2O, and I'm gonna leave carrot sticks out to entice
the Fairy.
Have a great week, fellow losers.

consistent figure that we both agreed on, I maintained this week.  Which,

Well it was the second week of fast track for me here in Ottawa and I
did okay following it. A few more licks, bites and tastes. But I tried
to counter that with more exercise. Anyway it all came out in the wash.

One pound this week! Obviously, this is a more reasonable and
sustainable rate. I didn't do too much differently, except that I went

I actually got a run in on Monday - only a mile, but it felt good to

I had my appointment with the neurologist this morning.  Not good news.  I
have to have a MRI and a EEG.  She suspects mild seizures.  And..... I'm not
