Another lb lost--for a TOTAL of 54 lbs lost.  Yippee!  So today, I rewarded myself by ordering 5 or 6 (I can't remember which) new tops from the Ulla Popken on-line catalog--in the next size (or 2; I can't decide which) smaller.  Woo Hoo!!  I was wearing a 24/26 and I ordered a 20/22--is that 1 size smaller or 2??  One of the mysteries of the ages...

I think my next reward may be a USB Keyboard!  For the most part, I like my netbook, but the integral mouse pad thingy is WAY TOO sensitive.  Just my thumbs in the air above the silly thing is enough to move the mouse!  What is up with that?!  I'll look up and it's all gobblety-gook!  Stupid thing!

Anyway, if it were warmer, I'd think I'd moved to the tropics or something, the weather has been that weird.  One minute it's sunny but by the time you get ready to go outside, it's coming down in buckets again.  I'm glad I've been grilling for several days when I can...

I've really been wanting cheese today for some reason.  Maybe I'll send an e-mail to the Dukan folks and see what they think of fat-free Cheddar.  Personally, I don't think much of it myself--but melted in an omlette occasionally, it might be enough to put that craving to sleep.  I was going to report it (there's a section down at the bottom of the daily report) but cheese wasn't listed; neither is peanut butter.  I think chocolate is there but it's the only thing I've wanted since the diet started that's listed.  Maybe I just have weird cravings...  I managed to not succumb by complaining in my blog, which I guess is the whole point.

I saw in my news feed earlier that the FDA has approved a new diet pill, which gave me a chuckle.  Who needs diet pills?!  I've tried diet pills (along with every other gimmick that's come out) and they never worked for me.  The Dukan Diet is working for me, longer and better than ANYTHING I've ever tried.  I'll admit that this might not work for everyone, but it's working well for me.  I think it helps that I don't like fruit, I like to cook and I'm single so I'm not inflicting it on anyone but me--but whatever--it works!
Off to Scotland in the morning for the day.  Jeff wants to check out a pub in Dumfries called The Globe Inn, with a Rabbie Burns connection.  Tomorrow is a PV (protein and veggies) day and I looked up their menu on-line and I'm good to go.  I just love the internet for stuff like this!
