I went back to visit my old Low-Carb journal...and sure enough, those things DO come in handy later on.

I certainly don't remember the weight coming off so slowly. I was a paragon of patience!!! I was working my a$$ off with BFL and tennis and still not losing...but I plugged away...and eventually lost 26#. It was a pound here and there....gain and lose, gain and lose, but I had the support of a great forum and a diet that I was happy with (read: wasn't hungry all the time). I rarely cheated. I was faithfully keeping my #'s on fitday.com. Apparently that's a formula that works for me. Remember that.

Been having the strangest dreams EVER the last few nights.

On a totally unrelated note, I just wanted to pat myself on the back here. I just finished a week-long project at work where I created the absolute Picasso of Powerpoint presentations for our Chairman to use when he's at investor conferences, one-on-ones, etc. Everyone was ooooing and aahhhhing over my maps and color choices, etc. I have to say that it was very good work and a 900% improvement on the one they were using before. They finally broke down and gave me the opportunity to create one, and VOILA!....I did real good. Everyone is happy! (Except the other secretary who USED TO do them )
