Today was disappointing in brackets. This morning at weigh in I was 215. Sure, I thought, it's 11 lbs off and 19 to go (my goal for late-coming readers is to be 196 by Ruby's birthday in July. This will help me avoid the heart attack when moving the big-bouncy thing around the yard). But it's still disappointing when you were hoping for 214. Okay, I'm a stickler. Everyone at the sick house was feeling better today, but when I got home I got a rejection letter for my latest play. Okay, I knew it would get rejected, but it's still a bummer. The only thing that went as planned was the introduction as bread for breakfast. And not just any bread—"When Pigs Fly" Low Carb, Whole Wheat bread. Each slice is a little wider than a playing card. When trying to determine the serving size, I combed through the SoBe book—alas, nothing. The serving size on the bread-bag said an OUNCE. HOW AM I GOING TO MEASURE AN OUNCE OF BREAD? I took a guess that since one of the recommended breakfasts were 'a whole wheat english muffin' that two slices were about the same. I had my paltry allowance of peanut butter on it. It was like eating greasy styrofoam packing peanuts but it WAS crunchy. So that was something.

Felt like a big eating day, but sometimes that's inevitable when you take a few punches to the diet-gut. I am ready to get back out there with another walk (Tuesday and Friday if possible) and will redouble my efforts to watch what I eat. I can already guess that tomorrow I'm going to switch to 1 egg yolk, three egg whites (a trick learned from Amy, my sister-in-law and rogue blog-commenter).

Hi, I think the weight loss is terrific...and I'm sure your body thinks so too. Try not to get into the numbers game. Anything can throw you off a pound or two like fluid and salt. Keep up the good work...rewards are not only in the numbers which are still excellent. What's happening with the magazine? LOVE MOM
I was a South Beach interloper tonight: I had a purely SB dinner with you (avocado/lemon/onion and burger/muenster and it was YUMMY. I was so excited by the cheese I had to get my own packet so as not to horn in on your action. So I hope I can keep us in yummy avocados - you know they say it's the perfect food for babies starting solids. OK - onward.
