Thanks all! I don't know why, but it seems to come off easy for me, but unfortunately is comes back on easy too. Kathy and Cyndi, I think slow and steady is a good thing and is probably a lot better for you in the long run anyways.

The good news for me is that I live in the same neighborhood that I work in (at least for now) and I can stop in and fix myself something that is on my diet instead of eating out. Even eating out is a little easier doing the low carb diet. Let's see, order the hamburger, throw away the bun! Kind of hard to want to do that with In-N-Out, but they do serve it bunless wrapped in lettuce. Oh, why did I start that again? LOL

My wine is still my one indulgence, but I stick with one time per week and usually early in the week, so that I have the remainder of the entire week to be good.

Monday night (after weigh in of course) we went out to Maguire's, the place that Ngaire and Linda turned us on to when we had lunch with them prior to Christmas. With my low carb tenderloin, I ordered a bottle of Chateau Fongrenier Stuart Bergerac (red) 1998, which the chef highly recommended. Modestly priced (which I like) and very smooth (which I also like). It was kind of similar to a Shiraz or Syrah, but not peppery. Probably more along the lines of a Malbec, in between a Merlot and a Cabernet. Anyways, we found a new one to add to our favorites.
