No kidding, Don. It is work. But each ounce that the scale moves is progress. Each time you say I will have this instead of that is a step closer. The goal is to make a lifestyle change for the better.

Yesterday we went to our favorite weekday diner (well not really a diner but we go there when I don't want to cook - which is often!) Oh did I want the soft tacos or the pasta. I am due for my pasta night. I ordered the light ahi tuna that comes with salad, which I really didn't want. But the reward was today when I reached another new low on the scale. The food was good anyway. Dessert was a cappucino. The time will pass no matter what. The food doesn't have to be all important, does it?

Editing to add that I can't see the brand name on my treadmill. It's a gym quality one - Startrac, I think. Excellent when I work on it. Why can't I see the name? It's underneath the storage stuff on top of it. I am going to redo that room soon so that thing is useable.
