Personal Update

> Just wanted you to know that I am finding my way through my LDL life and trying faithfully to stay with the LDL way of eating. Instead of craving chocolate, I now crave baked fish! Instead of craving a juicy
hamburger, I now crave popcorn. Since I am now back working full time, it makes it a little more difficult to spend eight hours around the corner from the snack machine. But, I find that the only time I crave junk food is when I am tired and did not prepare properly to bring good stuff to work with me. Nonetheless, I doubt I would have the energy to work all the hours I do if I had not discovered Roger's Let's Do Lunch lifestyle.

Another thing I discovered recently is the new cold water teabags. They take about 5 minutes to steep well, but they make great cold tea! I can take them to work, start a bag to steep in my cup on the desk in the back, answer phones and greet guests (I work at the front desk in a hotel), and after about 5 minutes I head for the ice machine for a few cubes of ice. Iced tea, made at work!

> Oh, before I sign off and drink yet another cup of hot tea, I wanted
you to know that I have lost 19 lbs. since Labor Day. It is coming off
slower now, just a couple of pounds a week. I seemed to lose more when I had the time to eat bigger meals! But even if I lost 1 lb. a week for another 20 weeks, that's another 20 lbs. I have no goal weight, just let the pounds fall where they may. Wouldn't it be ironic if I ended up at the weight I was in high school? Just in time for our 50th class reunion! Yeah, Class of 1956! :D :D
