Crock - I am glad you are making good food choices even though it's not strictly SB. I guess this is a good test of seeing how you can keep the weight off and hopefully still lose when you aren't actually following the SB diet to a tee. I reckon you will still have a loss when you weigh. I wish I could send you some fresh fruit and that spaghetti you are really craving!! I wouldn't want your right arm for it either
I hope your Powderpuff weekend won't end up being a flop. It seems that sometimes people are all for taking part in something like that but want everybody else to do all the work. Good on you for saying you will do your bit and no more. It should be a shared responsibility! I really hope people make the effort, that it ends up being as fun as it sounds, and that you can make it a regular event!
I don't know if I would think that the 4th of July was an overrated holiday if I lived there, but I LOVE fireworks, so any excuse to have them would be a good one for me
Patti - thanks for the encouragement. I know I won't cave if I see no loss or a gain, but I also know it's not going to be nice even if it is due to exercising. Still I am prepared prepared to cry Oh pull yourself together Ammi
Kayley - can't wait to hear what your aunt says, so please do post ASAP as you can after the BBQ
prepared to cry
