Week Four Already?

Here we are in our fourth week of NutriSystem. This last week has been a bit rougher than we would have liked. Truthfully, we've cheated a couple of times and although our commitment to stick to this program has been challenged, we remain determined to change.

Right now we're facing the bottom of the barrel food-wise. Breakfasts are still easy enough, but fewer and fewer of the lunches look appetizing, and the dinner selection has come down to choosing the lesser of the "evils" that remain. Next week we'll get our new shipment and I think staying the course will become easier. Having quick, convenient food we actually like will make eating in a lot more palatable.

The weather has been considerably colder the last few days here in Ketchikan. Much of October was relatively pleasant, but there is a real bite to the wind tonight and rumors of snow are making their way around town. I've been trying to spread counter-rumors about a November heat wave, but no one seems to be buying it. My theory is: if you don't talk about snow it won't come. Denial is our first defense against the white, flaky menace!
