    I'm retired. That makes it a lot easier to stick to a cooking/eating right and walking program. I was away for a few days, and I didn't do so well on Phase 2, but I did enjoy myself. Back to reality now.

    Magic, It's not as hard as it seems. I loooove pistachio nuts and for so many years, I did not have them because of one diet or another. So I am making up for lost time. But occasionally, I do feel the need for chocolate (who doesn't?), so I have a Hershey's dark chocolate kiss (or 2)--not too much damage. Also, in this heat and humidity, I'll sometimes have a fudgsicle. And on special occasions, I do indulge--I've just learned that if I revert to my usual fare quickly, the damage is minimal. I think the biggest thing I've learned is not to let perfect be the enemy of good enough. I used to have the mindset that if I blew my eating for a meal, the day was shot so I might was well indulge the rest of the day. Then the next day I would be filled with guilt and it would be harder to go back to good eating. Now, my mindset is good enough (i.e., staying on Phase 2 for 90% of the time) is good enough. And if I go away for a few days, I just try not to overdo but I don't deprive myself. I know when I get back, I'll go back to Phase 2.

    The fudge bar is 100 cal and one hundred for the walnuts. I vow to eat it slowly so I savor every bit.

    I was 240 in 2003. I am 145 now. My lowest has been 130 so I need to just be sure I stick to correction portions on thing that must be measured.

    Happy to see all of us posting in August

    Wow, Magic, you've come a long way. What an achievement! Any words of wisdom for the rest of us?

    I know the posting helps me, even though I'm a boring eater. I like to see what other folks are having too--gives me ideas.

    Shoot, I just answered your question and my computer when crash city.

    I am thinking of during another major reboot with 100 percent commitment. NOT easy. I had gotten up to 157 and that is when I teamed up with Sabine. She is super for support.

    Oy Vey. I am now 145 and 15 off would get that middle of mine to finally leave me alone. Shoot. Will think about it. I just might pull the trigger again on Monday.

    I will have to toss a bit of fruit. OR just allow the fruit and no bread, pasta, rice kinda stuff.

    P1 with fruit to be more clear.

    THAT I can do. Ok, YES...P1 with fruit. Going for it August 1st.

    How have I kept it off...just like you...if I wander, I do not wander too far and I hop back on the the SB wagon fairly quickly. I have tried another plan...did not work. Hated the food. Nutrisystem. Loved the people I met, hated the food.

    Okie doke...time to get ready for the party. Be back tomorrow to revise my menu for Monday.

    Have a great day South Beachers! <3
