OK - time to pull in the reins, as it were, and get serious. Since it is Thanksgiving week, my cheat day will be Thursday this week. I really can't afford a whole-hog cheat day, so I'm going to try to be careful on Thursday. In the meantime, I'm going to be more careful than usual to adhere to a low-carb, moderate fat, high-protein eating plan. This is not the week to reintroduce beans. I've decided to stay low carb (as opposed to slow-carb) until my weight gets back down to 202 pounds.

More tragedy among my friends: I learned that another friend's daughter was killed in a car wreck, and an old friend had a serious cardiac episode (more serious than a heart attack!). What's up with that? 

It convinces me more and more to find a place where the living is easy and good medical care is cheap.
