Anniversary

One year ago today, I started down the healthy living road with my first day at McConnell Heart Health Center. Today, I'm down about 35 lbs in all. I've gained a little bit in the last six months, but I'm sure I can take it off again, and continue on my road to better health.

En Route

I know it has nothing to do with my diet, other than it happened on the way to dinner, but it took me 45 minutes to get to the north side of town today. Don't these people know it's dangerous to get between me and food?

CV Wrappers

Yet again, I'm impressed with CV Wrappers. One of the owners was making a delivery over in my building, and offered Amy and me a ride to the store. She told us that they're starting to carry soups, and today's was tomato basil in a bread bowl. It was absoultely scrumptious.

Doritos?

Honey, I found your stash. Did you really think you could hide the baked Doritos from me? :)

In other news, I haven't gone completely insane. White Castle is something that I really hate, but, from time to time, uncontrolably crave. I think that's why I've had an insatiable appetite lately. Now that I've had a few burgers, I expect my appetite to return to normal.

Hopefully...

OD'd

I'm officially burned out on my diet. I've had way too much salad this last year. Since I don't like any other veggies, I'm in a spot. We'll have to see what happens, but I might just end up taking a break for a week or so.
