A couple of people have asked “offline” whether things are still on track with the dietary and activity changes. The answer is definitely yes. Still doing cardio 3x/week and weights 3x/week, and the changes in food intake continue. Gerald and I pushed our “cheat day” from last Sunday to Tuesday, so we could have a decadent valentine’s dinner. It was wonderful, but I found I didn’t really want to eat all of the carbs that came with it, so I ended up eating much less than I might have. (I even stopped halfway through the creme brulee, which is quite unusual for me.) Despite that, I felt unpleasantly full for the rest of the evening—a sign that my body has definitely adapted to the new eating habits.
Some discoveries of good replacement snack foods along the way…
Weight loss is slow but steady. Well-being increases are faster and also steady. It’s all good.

I, too, think Luna Bars are quite wonderful-- althought the Cherry Covered Chocolate variety is quite disgusting, IMHO. It reminds me of Coco-Krispies dipped in cough syrup. >blech
Good for you, Liz! Since we went "low carb" two years ago, we've taken off weight and kept off most of it, and I agree--I find half a dessert is enough. We have a cheat night, too! I get to the Y for treadmilling five days a week. I find that eating fewer bad carbs and more vegetables and soy has given me a lot more energy.
great job: but those chips would be my binge down fall.
Luna Bars are the best! I've stocked up on a case of the Key Lime Pie ones...
