Laurie:

When I was struggling to get back on plan, I began a journal at home this past Wednesday. Just like I did when I started the 3-HOur Diet back in April. It's working for me so I will stick with handwriting my food and exercise journal instead of posting it here. It's double work for me to do both and I really feel the handwritten journal is helping, so I will stick with that for now. I promise if I come up with any new menu ideas, I will share those here. For the rest of you, I can't stress how helpful it is to keep a food and exercise journal. Especially those weeks you STS or have a slight gain and can't understand why. Often when you review your journal for the past week, you can see where you went wrong. So please keep a journal - it really does help.

Okay, I have the time right now to do this so here goes
