Deuces

I've usually recognized numbers ending in zero as "milestones" in my weight loss journey, but it felt pretty fun this morning to see the scale come to 222.  That's happened once before, the last day of our most recent "phase I" experience, but this time I've drifted down to it while eating "normally."   Normal, in this case means we're still following the South Beach diet and limiting carbs. 

I'm still getting to walk 3 miles outside most days -- yesterday I squeezed in a mile outside between rain showers and two miles inside the building.

I sense more new clothes in my future . . . trousers that have already been taken in don't fit any more, nor do the new clothes I bought last summer when I was celebrating being at 240 pounds.

So my next intermediate goal is 220, and that's only 2 pounds away.  I'm hoping to make it by April first or so.  Wish me luck!
