My official week 3 weigh-in day is Monday but today is the end of week one of a two week cleanse. I'm down 9 lbs for the week (5 new ones plus the 4 that I'd re-gained the week before) for a total of 10 lbs since starting on Feb 7. The rate of loss will slow down significantly in week two but I'm feeling great. I'm within 3 lbs of my TIA admission weight last March 7. I hope to get back there by that date and then slowly lose the 15 lbs that should allow me to get off bp meds completely. I hurt my foot earlier in the week and haven't walked since. Gonna try a stationary bike today.

---------------------------------

George I was able to kick the PopTart habit when they stopped making plain ones. Those icing and sprinkles covered ones just don't do it for me. Of course there are plenty of other temptations out there.

As someone once said:
"If you can get it by pressing "F6" on the vending machine, it ain't food."

So sorry, Tai, my honey's got the same thing,,,,,,a'int good. She's up to Cream of Wheat and tea.
