Well another update. I got a lot more stringent and serious this week. Today I weighed in, since it has been exactly one month since starting the diet. I found out that I lost three pounds since my Monday weigh in and 20 lbs overall! <img border="0" alt="[vhappy]" title="" src="graemlins/icon_vhappy.gif" />

That gave me the strength to pass on the wine and cheesecake at the builder luncheon today at the Country Club.

Also, on my bike workout this morning, I got in 7.5 miles in 30 minutes. Tomorrow, I think I may swim along with doing my weight workout.
