Hey, I'm back into 80% of my trousers, which is a relief. The ACU's I wore just before retirement are just a tad snug, so there's work left to be done.

I bought one of those bags that have 12 lunch sized little bags of potato chips and limit myself to one a day as a treat. Or two, if I'm feeling I really want it. Yes, it's more expensive and a dumb way to do portion control, but it works pretty well.

I have one "tent pole" meal of the day and limit myself to something very light at the end of the day. I normally have a Parisian Breakfast* so no loss there.

I need to do more flutter kicks, though. My abs look a little large in the lower two muscles.

* Coffee and a cigarette.
