		<description>One of the supermarkets here does the most delicious salmon in a rosemary marinade. It&#039;s my usual treat for dinner when Joe is out. Absolutely heaven if I can have it with some new potatoes. :)</description>

		<description>Kathy, sounds to me like you are trying hard enough. Now you just need to keep doing what you&#039;re doing and wait. Will probably take about a month or two before you have lost enough weight to notice it in your clothes. This is a situation where little things add up. You don&#039;t want to invent yourself a regime you can&#039;t stick to. 

If you want to see progress on a finer grain scale have you thought about weighing yourself once a week? I find seeing the scales going down keeps me motivated until the real benefits start to kick in. 

The only thing you need to remember with that is the human body is a big sack of water and variations in the water can make more of a difference to your weight than the fat you&#039;re losing. You have to force yourself to be more interested in the trend than a particular data point. I found a really great excel graph for weight tracking that takes that into account. I&#039;ll have to dig it out for you. 

The other thing I remind myself when I&#039;m not seeing weight loss benefits to healthy eating is how much better I feel putting good things in my body. That&#039;s something worth having even if I can&#039;t immediately see the difference on the scales. 

Sounds like you&#039;ve had an amazingly good week! Give yourself a mental gold star for getting started and just concentrate on making the next good eating decision. The first part is always the hardest because it takes a little while for your body to catch up with the regime change. </description>

		<description>I&#039;ve not seen the b with a cross through before so it&#039;s not super common, at least not in the development world I belong to. :) Your chicken recipe sounds nice! I&#039;ll have to give it a go. :)</description>

		<description>Good luck Kathy! You have some great goals there! Just be patient with yourself! If you do something every day to acheive one of those things you&#039;ll be amazed how quickly it adds up. Anyway email, text or ring if you need someone to believe in you. That&#039;s one thing I can do for you when you need a bit of help in that department. :)</description>

		<description>Oh, yeah, that was a great, great episode. The comic relief made me laugh so hard... when &quot;Twilight Bark&quot; didn&#039;t resonate with anyone in the meeting, but &quot;the warning beacons of Gondor&quot; lit the spark of recognition, so to speak.</description>

		<description>And what are your thoughts now that there have been a couple more episodes? I&#039;m dying to know what that was that we saw leaving the &lt;em&gt;Destiny&lt;/em&gt; in the final shot of the &quot;third hour&quot; of &lt;em&gt;&quot;Air&quot;&lt;/em&gt;. Looked like a shuttle to me... but nothing was said this week. Hmm. 

More kino-cam action this week; interesting, and there may be tidbits that become plot points, but mostly it&#039;s the minor characters&#039; big shot at making an impression and getting a bit of backstory on screen. 

We&#039;re liking Col. Young more and more, and disliking Telford (but in a way that we&#039;re meant to dislike him). I&#039;m still waiting for the ship to reveal a bit more about itself assuming they don&#039;t crash into a red dwarf (it&#039;s not Rimmer&#039;s fault!) and solve their power problem. 

Thanks for stopping by my place, have added yours to my Google Reader feed (although I remember reading this post before when I saw it via Twitter). Keep up the good work!</description>
