Went for a very fast walk today; I was in front for a while, but at about the half way point I felt myself starting to fall back again—I'm not sure I finished in back, and I don't think we beat any time estimates, but it felt fast. Brisk, even. I am actually now starting to think about my walks—and trips to the gym—like something I have to do. I can see having a weekend visitor and saying "I've got to go to the gym—I'll be back in an hour." I guess something is crazy happening to me.
Breakfast
2 Eggs (again perfect)
2 Strips JennieO
Tea
Snack of the Sith
2 cheese sticks
15 Almonds
30 Pistachios
1 gs apple
3 dried apricots
Lunch
Salad with no dressing, Tuna
Dinner
Chicken a la Emily (fantastic)
Zuchini (not as much so)
Sugar Snap Peas
Mezzo Dinner
Meat of 1 Rib
At my begging, Emily shopped for me today to get me a new pair of shoes and a belt (one of mine is no longer working).
She did such a great job that I am never again going to shop for myself if I can talk her into doing it. It just made me realize the whole thing about getting new clothes. You really won't buy new clothes for yourself unless YOU ARE DESPERATE or have lost a lot of weight on a diet. With a few exceptions, I think every pair of my pants had jagged, ripped cuffs. But at 226 lbs, you don't really want to try stuff on, and when you do, nothing looks good. Plus when you get winded just trying on pants, it's a sign that you really need to get control of your life. I kid you not, I was out of breath just from changing pants. Now I'm getting excited about all that stuff, and if I hit my goal weight (whether July or shortly thereafter) I am sure I will continue to enjoy it. It's great, because it really makes me feel a lot better about the looming 40-ness of it all.
One man's journey to weight loss and self-discovery through the South Beach Diet and its tenets.

Keep up the good work! You should be very, very proud of yourself.
I get a lot of inspiration from your blog, Robert. It's my daily dose of "keep plugging away at your goal," whatever it may be.
BUT (and you knew it was coming). You have crossed the line. Now we read about eggs that are not only "perfect" but "again, perfect." No nod to Amy, claiming all the glory for yourself from unsuspecting latecomers to this blog, and what's worse, no explanation of the trick, as promised (latecomers: he promised to tell).
So here's a bribe: if you give us the trick, I promise to refer to it as "Robert's trick" when I, amazingly, serve eggs to my daughter with yolks intact. (Sorry Amy, but I did stick up for you above).
And just WHO is this Miss Penny Hinkler? Should I be concerned?
BTW, next time I am taking all the zucchini off your plate and inhaling it because I love it and I "let" you have all of it last night. Pearls before swine!
ooh. alice really goofed by saying a little too much. it's clear she hasnt read every single entry (as barb and i have) since the beginning. rob, i know you have given me proper kudos.
and can you please tell me if you receive the new commments on an old blog. how do they notify you that there's a new comment back in the archives?
and by the way, how was your trip to italy barbara and how come you were there? spring in florence.
buonissima...
