Hi Francine and welcome to journaling. I hope you get as much out of it as we regulars all do. It is nice to see that we all have something in common; though our points of origin are all different.
Your ex sounds like a piece of work. Be glad you didnt marry him. 5 times married? Sounds like a committment-phobe, or his spouses wised up some.
Did I read that right...you are down 195 pounds!? Or did you mean that you are down TO 195 pounds? Either way, any loss is a great accomplishment and I hope you continue with your lifestyle change.
The pizza you had; was it the "Lite and Fit Pizza?" I have heard really good things about it. I know it is on my current plan as well. But pizza is my ultimate Achille's Heel and I cant be trusted around it. When I would go and visit "my guy" he would sometimes order pizza and he is a huge fan of their thin crust pizza. I thought it would be terrible since I was rasied on normal greasy crust. (Real healthy eh?) It was awesome! Dont even miss the regular deep dish stuff I used to get. Goes to show that there is a healthy(er) version of almost anything you love out there. Just watch the calories, carbs, sugar, sodium, fat and trans fats. Diet doesnt have to mean "rabbit food." Mmmmmm cottage cheese. Love the real stuff, but the Lite isnt bad either.
What kind of computer? I dont know where I would be without mine. I hope your daughter gets a kick out of her dual present. Yes technology is definitely on the move. I am excited to see what they come up with next; but scared at the same time. I am sure it wont come cheap!!
Have a great weekend!
