SSQ and I are fixing to start South Beach. I was pleased to read that he allows fat free milk for coffee. His idea is that you're being asked to give up stuff for the most stringent part of the plan, you shouldn't have to give up your morning coffee as well! Good man! I found some fat free half and half (sounds like a contradiction in terms!) and I'm getting used to Splenda in my coffee, so this should work well!

Now I just have to get up off my fanny and do some exercise!

I've lived without coffee...but never for very long. I'm glad I didn't hafta give it up!

I'm still working on being fully committed when it comes to regular exercise. The star on the calendar idea seems to be working, though. If I do nothing, I have a blank spot staring me in the face. And walking on the treadmill first thing in the morning (though it's hard to drag myself outta bed!) seems to work well, since it doesn't take away from my day the way trying to fit something in in the evening does.
