I’m pretty happy with my weight after the Spain trip. We ate light breakfasts of espresso and pasta (various rolls), lighter lunches and decent dinners with lots of delicious inexpensive red wines. Part of the key to not gaining much was the tremendous amount of walking we did, probably six to eight miles per day. Love Spain! Now, I’m going to grind it down to 220. Hope to be there by mid Dec. After that, I’ll try to maintain for a month and then go down to 200 at which time, I’ll be a virtually perfect human being.

I recommitted last week to working out at least 3 days per week. We’ve also been staying away from fast food entirely (I was going to Wendy’s whenever I didn’t pack a lunch last semester, which was often. Now that I can’t do Wendy’s, I definitely take the time it takes to make a lunch. Actually, Janssen and I switch off days making them, which works fine), and limiting myself to 2 desserts per week (this hasn’t been too difficult, but has been effective to help me cut back on mindless dessert/candy snacking.
I’m currently at 168. Should probably get down to 155 or 160.

Hi Bart. Thanks for taking time to comment here. I’ve been doing my favorite thing, coasting. Time to kick into gear again while I’m still down about 9 pounds from my highest weight. I like the idea of packing a lunch and measuring the calories. I’ve made some great home made whole wheat bread and could do a good little 300 cal turkey sand with a few chips and diet coke. Save money, time and lose weight. It’s too hard to know your intake when you go out to lunch. I am busy, working hard and enjoying the challenge. If I break even this year, I’ll be thrilled. Say hi to the cute librarian you live with.
