Just read a disturbing report by Consumer Reports about arsenic in rice and rice products. I don't eat rice or rice products since I went off of carbohydrates, but I know a lot of you do. This article is very interesting and there is a linked PDF that has the measurements of which rice is the worse, also their recommendations on how much you can safely eat.

I've lost another pound and a half! I am really pleased with this weight loss, and I like that I am never hungry and I don't feel deprived. This is the way to lose weight! (I also like that studies have shown this way of eating to work long term and to contribute to good health.)

I've lost another pound since yesterday! I guess righteous anger really burns the calories!

Is this happening to anyone else? I can't open any comments at all. I even tried typing in the URL by hand and it's not working. Why can't they leave well enough alone? They keep making it worse and worse!

I have officially lost 25 pounds now! I bought a pair of capri pants in early July because I couldn't get my fat butt into my normal ones and now I can take the new ones off without undoing the button!

No one on my friends list has a tablet? I was hoping someone did on my last post because I have so many questions about them!

More rain today from what's left of Isaac. It's off and on because we're not under the main part of it, just some of the outer bands. We really need the water though, so the only complaint I have is that it's not raining enough.

I haven't posted in a while, I just have been in a quiet mode where I can't think of anything to say. So, have a picture of Arizona.

I have lost so much weight now, that I can take off and put on my jeans without undoing the button and zipper!

My husband just sent me an email telling me that he has a guy in an upcoming class that he's teaching who has never turned on a computer in his life!

I have passed the 20 pounds milestone! Technically it's 21 pounds since I lost 2 pounds last week, but 20 pounds was the first milestone that I set for myself. I feel like I have made a huge accomplishment these last 4 months.

Just gonna leave this here.

Over the weekend, The Big Aussie and I had an opportunity to go to The Home Depot to get some tools or whatever. (IDK, he handles all that stuff, I can barely stay conscious in there as it's so boring, but he's happy to to go Sephora with me so I am happy to go to HD with him.) Anyway, we're holding hands as we walk into the shop, we always walk around like that, it's no big deal to us, it's just normal. But the greeter is like FREAKING OUT. " OMG YOU ARE HOLDING HANDS! WHAT IS YOUR SECRET? HOW ARE YOU STILL ABLE TO TOLERATE EACH OTHER AT YOUR AGE?!?"

Is it that unusual for an older couple to still hold hands? I never really thought anything of it. Then again, when his sister visited last year she said "you guys act like a couple of teenagers!" when all we did was exchange a chaste kiss (no tongues, lips closed) in front of her a couple of times. It doesn't seem that weird to me that even old people like ourselves would be affectionate (tastefully, not sucking face) with each other.
