Boy, am I feeling better. Still trying to pace myself so I recover fully and completely. I leave for out of town next week for a few days and I 'll need all my strength.

Had a fabulous dinner with Mom last night. She prepared a tuna casserole minus the cheese and crackers but with rice. It was delish. We also had a mixed green salad with a vinagrette and a small portion of raspberry dumplings for dessert. Felt so warm, safe and cozy....just like being a kid again. Thanks, Mom!!

Feel like everything is going very well. Not thinking about food very much and the cabbage really is wonderful for munchies in front of the TV. But I have definitely been watching less TV since feeling better.

Drinking the water is no problem for me thankfully because it is a known must for sucessful weight loss.

Not very hungry today so I'll try to keep things low today.
