Diet Coaches/Buddies - Had gazpacho for dinner again last night, CREDIT moi. Get used to hearing this from me; The cucumbers just keep coming.
Nice walk (CREDIT moi) and then a short bike ride to an event at the local park. Got to observe the obvious: when you're out and about, there's less time for eating at home.
Irrationally Exuberant (maryblu) - It's not just the loons on the water, LOL.
Anne (AnneWonders) - Thanks for the demo,
"starting now" instead of the more common,
starting tomorrow.
FutureFitChick - Waving. Thought of you after I gave a pint of blood yesterday and tried to visualize a zillion cells working to make new blood. Wondered where they'd get the iron to do it.
Margaret (Nuxmaga) - Great job driving past that French bakery. Yep, when I started my journey, I noticed that I had been spending about $10 a day on snack stuff - that adds up.
CeeJay - Kudos for the third day on plan. Yep,
"The key for me is planning and structure" sounds like a winning approach.
Joy (gardenerjoy) - Yay for an emerging new wardrobe. When do you pass on the clothes that are
"two or three sizes too big" ?
Shepherdess - Cool photos - both you and your bum lambs look great. Hope this publicity helps your wool business. Kudos for all your resistance muscle work - you have been doing a lot of that lately.
Beverlyjoy - You do seem clear about your doctor. I know it's difficult to choose a new doctor, but good luck in your search; you deserve to feel respected and treated.
Cheryl (Seadwaters) - Yay for
"stayed on plan" - interesting that it's the little things that lie in wait to grab you. Good job on the chocolate biscuits at lunch - those would have tempted me.
silverbirch - Love the description of your house surrounded by fields and lavender. Yay for being
"flexible in adversity."
Donna (new2me2) - Yay for keeping at the struggle between points and your plan until you get a plan that fits you. It's worth the effort.
Overlord - Can't do better than on track.
Houston2Command - A punching bag is pretty good improvisation for 4am, LOL. Monster Kudos for recognizing about yourself,
"I am thinking and eating like a thin person!" Vivid image of Sabotaging Thoughts there,
"looming around stinking up the place looking for a crevice to come out and get me."
Amber (AmberPr) - Congrats for so promptly filling your sales position; hope the new hire works out. Special Kudos for
"Stayed out of both my husbands ice-cream and my daughters cookies."
Mikkijoe - Hope that UPS delivers your Beck book so you can get to reading. I'm a big fan of supporting my local bookstores, but, alas, am also addicted to one clicking at Amazon. Thanks for you kind words.
Randi (rbp) - Yep, bumping up against that old
eating slowly is a surprise. Kudos for making progress on Sabotaging Thoughts - the number of them each day caught me by surprise, also.
Ouch for that hip - but here at the Beck Health and Convalescence Thread, a lot of recovery from physical stuff going on; you're at the right place.

How Not to Gain Too Much
These are some solutions dieters I've counseled use to help prevent gaining too much weight while they're away from home:
. . .
Eat brunch instead of breakfast and lunch. If you sleep later than usual, combining these two meals will allow you to eat a larger meal in one sitting.
