Thanks for mentioning back bacon, Lindsay. I cannot eat turkey bacon. I've found a "real" bacon that's just a couple of grams higher and was going to try that. I hadn't thought of back bacon. The store where I shop has a good butcher, so I'll ask.

So far I feel pretty good. Yesterday was a little sketchy in the afternoon - work crazy, wanting to unwind with some wine and pasta lol but I made it through! And I was rewarded with a 6LB loss this week :) I feel like that is a lot, but I know the first couple of weeks do that to you :)
