Hello, all! Busy busy day today. I have a little retail therapy planned for tomorrow. Looking for a couple new tops and maybe a pair of casual stone-colored slacks (goes with everything).
Oh, and I'll be checking out the CAD thing at the bookstore. I'm still not convinced, but I know a bookstore that has EVERYTHING cheap. It's just that things don't seem to be working lately. I kind of like the idea of being very strict for breakfast and lunch (never had any trouble being strict there), and then loosening up a little at dinner. I don't plan on eating a lot of sugar or grains or anything, just maybe a little more meat and a second veggie or something. I don't know.
Karen and I have been PMing all day back and forth over the CAD thing. She's basically been PP from the start. I admire that. I'm just feeling restless. What I'm doing should be working. Even the whiskey/wine is allowed on PP, as long as you count it, which I do. I just think I need to shake things up a little.
But, no firm decisions yet. So no, Renee, I'm not a CAD yet!
I'll get the book (if I find it) and read it, but I'll probably hold off a little. I haven't found anyone yet over on the CAD site who is about my height and weight and age that I could compare to. Please don't anyone take offense, but people who are very overweight tend to lose faster no matter what plan they're on. Just because it works for them doesn't mean it will work for me. I'm not that far from goal, actually. But, if it works for Wendy, who is a whole lot closer to goal than I am (though she is . . . do I have to say it? . . . 20 years younger than I am . . . GRRRRRRRR!), it might just work for me.
If I do it, I'll be watching that scale like a hawk and also watching how I feel. If I start gaining more than a pound or two, I'll drop it like a hot potato! (And you know how fast we low-carbers can drop a hot potato!)
Sorry for the long self-searching treatise there. Sometimes you just need to get out what you're thinking.
PS: Renee, I'm in on the trek to Joisey and then Canada! Still thinking about the entire Appalachian Trail this summer? I have yet to find where it is located in Maine.
