Well, things are going "ok" for the time being.  I'm worried that I stretched my pouch because I can eat more.  Then I have to remind myself that I still couldn't eat a Big Mac!  Or even just a cheeseburger!  I don't even go INTO McDonald's anymore!  I'm still maintaining my weight.  I'd rather be losing, but I've heard from several people that plateau's can last awhile.  I haven't been exercising much, and I know I should be.  The only problem is, I live in a part of the country that between November and March, you don't go outside unless you HAVE to.  I would like to start a walking routine, but I just keep thinking, "Why?  You'll have to quit when it starts snowing anyway."  I don't know A LOT of indoor tracks in town, especially near where I live.  I'll have to look into it.  I am going tonight to sign up for a "Middle Eastern Dance Class" at the YMCA.  A couple of friends and I wanted to have something to do weekly because we don't get to see each other much, and it's too late to sign up for a bowling league!  That was the original plan but we couldn't find enough people to sign up with us.  I hope this class is at least a little fun!  I'm sure it will be since I'm signing up with friends.Nothing else is really new.  I still can't eat sugar, pasta, rice, bread or anything TOO spicy.  I haven't been eating the greatest lately.  I could do better.    A girl I know through my sister has been having complications from her surgery.  Her doctor has narrowed it down to her starting smoking again, causing ulcer's in her esophagus.  That's pretty scary.  I have a 6 month follow-up appointment on the 21st and I'm going to ask him for Chantix.  That's the stop-smoking pill.  I hear it works wonders.  I don't want to be a smoker anymore, but I need some type of outside intervention.  The patches work, but they don't work by themselves.  Well, I hope everyone has a good weekend. :)
