Hey girls, sor far so good with South Beach. Into day 3 now. Alice, no I am not exercising and haven't been the last couple weeks. Don't know, I am just tired from work and then running around on weekends. I must get back to it though.

Alice, I bet you are really feeling more like home now that you have your stuff. Do you still love your house?

LaDean, I thought you must be doing something like sout beach when I read the book. The clue was you always mention slowly adding back carbs. I miss my oatmeal in the morning. On the other hand the change is good and I am enjoying some new things to eat. It was time to shake things up a little.

Ledom. yes went on it and then loss good. but went off and got back on the atkins. but its all the same in ways. i like both.. you will like it.. there is alot a person can have. i missed the fruit on it. but then decided hey that is why i gain is to much fruit. then found out i a border line debetic. so that put some scare in me. that is when i decided to go on atkins. its worked. and i am so thankful for that. good luck to you. i been slow on exercise also. got to get with it. ha i will saturday running all over reno. ha ha can hardly wait. ready for a vacation. still a lb away today. so hope by friday i have it off. ha ha have a good day.,

Good afternoon,

ledom, glad South Beach is going well for you. How long do you plan on staying on Phase I? You can add oatmeal back into your diet in Phase II. Then it will taste sooooo gooooood. Yep, it's starting to feel more like home. Even Miz Lacee is feeling better. The windowsills on our front windows reach almost to the floor. Whenever we come home from running errands, Lacee is lying on the floor looking out the window for us. They're a perfect height for her, as she can watch the comings and goings on "her" street. I do still love the house, but I do miss the house in NH. I have found to my dismay that I don't have as many kitchen cabinets in this house as I had in NH. So, it looks like I'm going to have to do some downsizing. I know I'm sure liking the weather here in FL a lot better. I haven't gotten into the swing of exercising yet. What I have been doing is putting whatever box I'm unpacking at the time in another room so that I have to make quite a few trips. That's about it.

LaDean, you will reach your goal on Friday. I just know it. You have done so well on your plan. I'm sure you'll get a pleasant surprise when you have your bloodwork done again. Lacee says "WOOF" to Tuffy. When will you be leaving for your vacation and how long will you be gone? I bet you are getting excited about your trip.

Have a great evening ladies.

Yes i hope friday. things are still looking good. i have been praying and being good. its so exciting for me. i look at my other pictures and can then notice a change. see it that is. i notice it for sure all this new energy i have. I leave Saturday morning for Reno. stay till Tuesday. this is a yearly trip for my sister in law and i. my sister and i did this for years. then she passed away in 1994 so now we go. so neat and alot of fun. she has a aunt and uncle there and get to see them to.. we have a rent a car so is nice. if we get tired of spending money in slots. ha ha we just go shopping. the casino were staying has a big ex room. its got windows all in it and over looks the mountains and all. from picture it looks so neat. so we are taking our suits to it has a huge zucuci. (missspelled) so thought we would try it out to. is on like the 17th floor so would not be out in public going to it. ha ha

oh your new place sounds cute. glad your getting things like you want more and all. oh the windows are my thing. i love having windows to see out. tuffy use to but does not get up on things now to see out since hes blind. i do believe he can see some in his one little eye.. well hey i will let you know all about my trip. enjoy the florida sunshine,.
