Thank you both for doing these daily posts.....I enjoy them greatly even though I don't usually respond to them.....I do read them every day. It's kind of like Dear Abby or the horoscopes....wouldn't miss them!!

It's a VERY windy Monday here. It even knocked over my big BBQ and moved it halfway across my backyard! I hope it's still ok. B: coffee S: apple more coffee L: Sausage Tortellini Soup S: Fage yogurt w/berries 1/2 cup sugar snap peas w/ranch S: chicken thigh 1 cup veggies

can you imagine their faces if I would have done that!! I should plan a date with my friend who had it there, I bet it would be a good time now! Even walking through that place I felt like godzilla walking through NYC! everything was so dainty I was afraid to sit in those tiny matchstick seats BF is extatic about the Sox. we were up til 230 watching the highlights, hes such a huge sox fan.. I'm a mets fan and still when I think about how much they choked at the end of the season.. from first place to not making the play offs in less than 4 weeks... ughhh go sox (for bf's sake)

so sleepy! we were up late watching the sox coverage.. a nice nap would be lovely, but I have an oil change scheduled after work. I'm going to walk while I'm waiting. We also just got back from our lunch walk, great day to be out. heres my food day so far drive to work - iso fruit protein shake breakfast - 2 apple wheat muffins lunch - un fried beans with an oz of cheese and enchillada sauce dinner - Jannine's creamy crockpot chicken snack - (if I make it that late) frozen banana dipped in sf chocolate.. yuuummmm- o vitamins - all in water - 3 - 22oz glasses so far exercise - lots of walking, more walking later

Barbara, I like your anology of the half full glass. At first we are so eager to start on our full glass. We savor the first few drinks. It filled a need we desperately wanted to fill. We were excited to lose the weight and it happened relatively easily and quickly. I think we also savor the bottom of the glass. We realize the drink is almost gone and we enjoy the last few swallows. So it is with the weight loss. We are so concentrated on those last few pounds that we savor each portion of a pound lost. The great difficulty seems to be the middle of the glass. We have worked through that initial excitement of the new drink. Sometimes we wished the glass was not as full as it was, we don't think we will ever get to the bottom. It is a struggle, but we must get to the bottom of the glass to attain our goals. As with our full glass, we can see the results as we go. It is so worth it. Have a great day, Rick
