Good day!
Hi SugarCube - I don't think we've met properly...so...
fullfig - you're back! I remember you! Wow, I've never heard the cabbage thing!
Robin - we have lovely mild weather as well, but rain. But, they're predicting a major drop in temperature over night - too bad, I love these mild temperatures.
TG - Back to the gym for me, too! Lower body for me today. The leg machines always make me SWEAT!
Jane - I often will splurge slightly off plan and have yoghurt. I've found a brand up here that has about 8g of carbs per servings, so it's not so bad if I"m careful with carbs for the rest of the day. As for the peanut butter cookies - they probably wouldn't be so bad if you used Splenda instead of sugar - then it's basically just peanuts, eggs and Splenda! And I hope your upcoming tests will be okay.
Lori - agh! Yeah, I had a carb-attack last night. All the time I was saying to myself 'don't do it, don't do it' and yet I did it.
Lisa - no baby yet!!?? The anticipation!
Brenda - what do you think of WATP? I've heard it mentioned a lot lately...is it good, do you think?
I had an ‘oops’ last night - for some reason I really, really couldn’t resist having a couple bowls of Cheerios (luckily I somehow restrained myself and made them *small* bowls, but still...). They are my favourite food, and I do miss them - especially when they are so easily available. At least in the grand scheme of things, it probably wasn’t the worst ‘oops’ that one could have had. At least Cheerios aren’t particularly unhealthy in and of themself.
I got an email today from the government/British High Commission and my visa for the UK has been approved and they're sending it to me by priority courier! Um ... I nearly fell over in shock .... I only mailed them the application on Monday (as in, THREE days ago) ... how on Earth was a government body such as themselves acting so efficiently? I am in shock because the expected return time for such things is a couple weeks, at least. So now I'll have my visa about a month before I actually need it, but at least now I don't have to worry about it! When I renewed my passport last month, I also got it returned well before their predicted *mail out* date. Boy, the government has been my friend over the past couple months, 'cause I also got money back from them! Yay!
And on that note, I should get back to work!
Ciao, Julie
And I don't know the answer to the yogurt question, sorry. But I'll be interested to find out 
) and it's still a few weeks or so away! The biggest pain in the butt when I get there will be finding a flat and finding a job, both of which I'd like to happen ASAP. Those are the only two items that make me go ... "...oh dear...". 
The visa that I got is called a "Working Holiday Maker" visa, which, as a commonwealth citizen under the age of 30, allows me to work for up to 2 years in the UK - any kind of job, part- or full- time. Fantastic opportunity, eh? A number of other countries offer similar visas to youth, but they typically restrict a person to working a maximum of 3 months at one job. Since I'm hoping to find something for a bit longer than that (hopefully in engineering, too), those countries weren't as enticing at the moment. I'm going to Edinburgh first and really hoping I can find something there - it sounds like a great place to live for awhile.
