Just reading through some of your old blogs (trying to catch up, if I read them and you don't update in a few days, it takes me a few weeks to remember to check back again!).

Wondering how you're doing on your goal here? I think you've gotten pretty close to that benchmark?

Some suggestions/ideas:
Keep NOT drinking soda--when I was home the past few months...I've been kind of getting addicted to Dr. Pepper again! It must be a Californian disease or something! Also, keep not drinking Alcohol...that will DEFINITELY not help you if you drink beer, wine, etc.

Also, now that I'm in England...I say, you should walk more! I know it's a BIT more difficult in the sweltering humidity of the midwest (or the freezing cold!).

Also, before I joined a gym (which I stopped going to, hahaaha!) I did yoga and yoga/pilates videos. I think those not only helped me keep weight off, but also helped me relax a bit! You can get really cheap workout/yoga videos at places like TJ Maxx and Marshalls!

Hmmm....and then there's the thing that helped me most fit into my wedding dress: MONO! (Just kidding, obviously don't try to go out and get sick!)

Oh yeah--when I lived in England last time, I think what MAY have helped me was that Rich re-taught me how to eat. That is, we would cook meals together and then sit down to eat them. I would, as we were taught, try to finish EVERYTHING on my plate, even if I was already stuffed...He made me realize...I didn't have to do that. I could get out the tupperware and save the rest for later! Or, as he is AGAIN trying to reteach me...I really do NOT know how to do portion sizes! I overcook WAY too much...So, learning portion sizes in the first place, and then if you make more than you should being able to tell yourself, "well if I eat this, I will feel REALLY full and uncomfortable allll night, OR, I could save it and have another DELICIOUS meal tomorrow for lunch/dinner/snack."

Just some things I thought of while reading this entry!
