This must be just like livin' in paradise...

Man, what a beautiful day outside today!!  If only the entire summer could be like this it would be fantastic.  So yesterday Erin and I both had some doctors appointments and both went well.  My root canal is now 2/3 of the way done and the last part is to just pop the permanent crown on.  Then after that its just a cleaning and fix a few fillings.  I really hate dentists but this guy is actually really good.  Oh and on the baby front, no new news.  Erin's appointment went well, and we just have to kind of wait now for the right time...I think LOL

Work was crazy this week.  It's tough trying to do about 3 jobs at once and still not being able to get done everything I would like too.  Hopefully this is a sign that things are turning around out there for us, but we'll see what happens for the rest of this month into July.

The second week of South Beach is almost up and it will be nice to incorporate some more food into the diet.  The other thing is after this week I'm going to stop calling this thing we're doing a diet.  It's a new lifestyle because we'll be keeping this around a long time.  I actually feel a lot better than before; no crazy cravings, or late night snacks.  Getting up in the morning has been much easier and I feel full after eating, instead of still hungry or stuffed to the edges.  I still believe I'm going to turn into an egg or sprout roots and become a vegetable but, its worth it.  Looking back on things I wish I would have done this with Erin and supported her the first time she tried this.  If I had maybe I wouldn't have put on all the weight that I lost before the wedding.  It's funny I was just kind of along for the ride on this, but I've, in a way become the "Food Police".

Anyway, last nights dinner was another keeper plain and simple grilled steak with a tomato relish salsa.  The salsa was a nice sweet accompaniment to the meat.  We had a salad on the side and that was it.  Erin had a little left over steak so I used it this morning for breakfast and did a scrambled eggs, steak and salsa dish.  Very good stuff!  Lunch in a little bit, maybe Erin and I will go for a walk on this beautiful day and then a hockey game tomorrow morning.  I'll report in later tonight to give an update on dinner.
