Sorry I missed yesterday. This morning is my deadline to get all the new stuff, the November stuff, to my designer/computer guy for the website. So yesterday I was in an all out sprint to finish it all up. I am pretty sure I'm done. It should all be up and running and ready for your perusal on Nov. 7th.

So the update is that neither Matt nor I have cheated even one time on our "no bad stuff" program. I mean, it's only for two weeks. I feel like I can do just about anything for two weeks. Except maybe temp. I have NOT been so good on my calorie count. I have been eating closer to 1600 calories a day. Now, that's not bad. The average woman eats 1800 to 2000 calories a day. But, sadly, I'm not an average woman. When I am MAINTAINING I am only supposed to eat 1400 calories a day. So I'm actually eating enough calories to GAIN weight. Oy. I've been working out so I haven't gained weight but I also haven't lost any. It's a pain in my backside.

My blood pressure seems to be in check and that's really great news. That was the REAL goal. But I need to drop a few pounds. Seriously. I need to drop at LEAST three pounds.

Now ... I remember when that used to inFURIATE me when girls would complain about gaining five pounds. But it makes a difference. It's a hard thing for me to admit since that was a source of mocking for so many years. But five pounds makes a difference now. DAMMIT!

So the fight against calories continues. I will keep you posted. DAMN CALORIES!!
