Ok, so the diet is actually starting to go well. I have discovered a few keep morale boosters though. Always weigh in the morning...I always seem to gain 5lbs during the day, only to have it disappear the next morning. When I am hungry, or craving candy, I either drink water or brush my teeth. It doesn't help, but it makes me feel like I am making progress.

Other then this, life is pretty normal. Work, work, work! But I am really getting into the routine there. I am now trying to figure out the most efficient way to use my remaining vacation days, and convince my family and friends to come visit us!

I am currently listening to Emma, by Jane Austin, on audiobook. I seem to be having a bit of a Jane Austin thing lately. I have listened to quite a few of her books. Very good stuff. I wonder that I hadn't found it earlier in life...you know, when I actually had TIME to read.
