Howdy, all. Just another brief update -- first, another apology for making absolutely no improvement in keeping things updated, here........I thought I'd have more patience for this, I guess. However, the important thing is that The Diet Continues. In fact, it's now --

Day 68!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! - Wednesday

That's pretty cool, huh? Sixty-eight straight, steady days of good eating behavior. In fact, it's now completely conceivable that We Have Succeeded in permanently altering our eating patterns and pointing them in the steady direction of -- you guessed it -- All Health, All the Time.

We are still doing the daily morning oat bran, the daily bowl of soup for lunch, and the daily evening Big Salad. Weekends continue to be "reward" days, when we typically go out and have something not on the standard menu, but still conscious of health/nutrition value.

We've still managed to avoid looking at a scale, but based on comments from friends and colleagues, weight management is visibly appreciable. I'm gonna guess we dropped 10 pounds of needless extra weight. It's damn nice to be fitting back into the 36" waist pants that I bought three years ago, and haven't been able to wear for two! So we're gonna keep this up.
