Rachel - Congrats on the three pounds!!!! Sounds like you are doing great and found some great ways to keep your portions down. I love the cutting the sandwich in half and putting it in the fridge. I need to try that!

Finn's Mom - I think you are lucky to have Finn to walk. I wished I had a dog to walk. I walk in my neighborhood in the evenings and so many people are out with their dogs. I've tried using that approach of good exercise for me with hubby to talk him into a dog but he won't budge. We just don't have a good backyard for a dog and with 5 cats in the house we don't have the room for one inside. Maybe some day we'll move to a house with a big backyard and I can have my dog!!
