You'd think it'd be easier in the summer, but there's a lot of ice cream and beer consumed when it's hot. And it's really hot here. Too hot to get out and walk or bike. Thanks for the motivation. No more excuses!Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-73192918620506283522012-07-24T23:11:14.409-04:002012-07-24T23:11:14.409-04:00Amazing how something so seemingly insignificant a...Amazing how something so seemingly insignificant as plate size can matter but it sure does. When I (rarely) go to restaurants, I am astounded at the size of the plates and hence the portions. For my suppers, I usually use a bowl.Nanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15547916206007733970noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5434452527977390355.post-80390250494440950182012-07-23T00:38:00.629-04:002012-07-23T00:38:00.629-04:00You are doing great!

We're hoping his cholesterol will come down then too. Love the tips on smaller plate and sharing a meal for dinners out ... we do like to eat out.

I finally started writing down how much I want to lose by my birthday in Oct and tape it to the frig.
