Howdy folks. Well, it's round two for me! I took the time from my last weigh-in until now to relax a bit. I still went for my walks, but I didn't count calories and I ate some treats. I went out to dinner at a restaurant. All of that was, I think, good for me. It was good to know that I could do those things and still basically maintain where I was ( Read more... )

I missed the deadline on a tv_universe challenge (damnit, there goes my perfect record ( Read more... )
