Well I used to go commando. But not in many years.

In the Marine Corps they had names for just about every thing. Underwear was skivvies. Sneakers wer go-fasters, a pen an ink stick and a flash light was a moon beam.

Oh I so wish I could find frozen rhubarb or any for that matter. The dessert sound great right now. Looked at every grocerie store in saskatoon to no avail. Of coarse I started this diet just after it was in season all over the place

The way I see it is that when we get there, they folks stationed there will be able to take leave.

Things were just super quiet at the house. Uncertainty about the deployment is a b!tch. But, we should learn more as time gets closer.

Good news? Although I had drill this past weekend, I stayed on program and still loss a little. I got on the scale this morning and was at 141.8. I'm expecting around 143~ this afternoon when I go to my WI. Coach most likely will move me to Phase II!!! I can't wait.

Thanks, and you will never loose me!!

The whole 'poking more holes in belt' thing. I'm at the last holes in my belt, but what do you do about all that extra hanging over the end. I don't want to wrap and tuck that into the belt loops on my side.

I used a sturdy pair of kitchen scissors to cut off the excess and shape it to look like it was s'posed to be that way, then coloured it in with permanent marker. It may not be haute couture, but it worked for me!

My IP update: Day 6 now, and I did have some grumpy moments over the weekend, but nothing too bad. Hungry still, on and off, and some ocasional light-headedness if I don't pay attention to fluid/salt intake for a few hours, but again, nothing too bad.

Not weighing myself except once a week. 48 hours til I get some metrics for Week 1 - I'm quietly hopeful about this!
