Ordinary Day

I have milk every night with dinner, though I suppose I could stand to have more milk than I actually do. I'm also taking a lot of calcium, though, so I think that kind of balances out the milk intake, at least a bit. Yogurt might be doable, though. I've had some occasionally and not disliked it; I'll have to see how that works out. Especially with my current job schedule about to rearrange itself in a few more weeks.

So far though the new Rules seem to be helping. Just doing the hardcore snack avoidance and having fruit with lunch instead of a cookie or chips, plus my usual exercise, has already dropped me a half a pound every day for the last four days. The tricky part is going to be seeing whether I can keep up that trend.

As I've mentioned elsewhere on the thread, I've been drinking diet soda for years already--I just don't like most regular sodas. My current soda quota in conjunction with the other Rules seems to be working pretty well so far, but if I need to do any more tweaking of the Rules, dropping my afternoon soda might happen. We'll have to see.

Indeed, the second surgery went much more smoothly than the first, and being on the right Synthroid dosage for a while now has helped immensely!

Thanks for chiming in on this as well as the good wishes, they are much appreciated. :)
