I loved Allen Sherman - when I was 7 or 8 I would play those records over and over.

Wow - I am glad to see how active this thread is again! Everyone is doing so well. All we have is today - if you follow it just for today you can do it!

I am back from my convention and while I went off somewhat, I think I was REALLY good. Food in Las Vegas, if you are not luxuriously dining is generally not of the healthy variety. Add a trade show to that and what was available in the convention hall - hot dogs and other junk. The coffee bar had the usual "Don't Eat This For Breakfast" choices. I got my coffee (Room Service was a 45 minute wait!) and then went to the sundry store where they stocked Kellogg's Cereal Bars. That was 150 calorie breakfast. How did I know this? When I checked in, I did a survey of all the venues to see what there was that were good options for me. Lunch was a steak sand with out the Bread and it came with Fries. So I ate 10 and that was it. They held a buffet reception one night and I walked the buffet to see the choices, left and went to the Mexican restaurant and got a Shrimop Tostada - hold the shell and the beans, cheese and avocado. I had one glass of wine and mostly drank Perrier. I've been doing Perrier during the week and Wine - one glass on weekends!

I have learned that to fight off the boredom and allow for some pleasures, that I can do a bit of that.

We went to our favorite weeknight dinner spot tonight, where we have the same waiter when we go and he knows just how to bring me my stuff. He made my day today when he leaned down and whipered in my ear "Kathy, you are looking really good - I really see it in your face"

So thanks for all the encouragement and support!
