It's 2:00 pm and I've been good so far today on what I've had to eat. My eliptical machine broke during my exercises, but (thankfully) we have a three year maintenance contract. NOTE: Always buy the maintenance contract on exercise equipment. They won't be able to fix it until next Monday, but I still have the treadmill and recumbant bike, so no excuses. We are having some awfully hot and humid weather, so my routine was a bit shorter than usual. Maybe I will pick up a bit more this evening.

I've just got to get into the routine of dieting. Christa, I know you don't believe in dieting, but as far as I've concerned, anytime one eats less than one wants to eat....that's a diet. I just have to eat considerably less or the weight just won't come off. For me it is a health issue. I know once I can get into the routine of eating less, it will be easier, but I just haven't been able to get past those necessary first 3 days, so every day, I start out again.
