It was nice to get on the scale and see the downward trend. More than that was the feeling of good health from eating good foods and walking. It was a little easier to keep up with the grand kids as well. There is a challenge coming- the trip to Daytona. Lots of food choices and options that don't fit the program will be stareing me in the face. This is what the maintainence program will be like.  There is plenty of beach to walk on and the fresh seafood will help with lean protein. TTFN
