Yes, if you've seen any of my posts today, the rumors are true. We had a water main break last night and are completely without water.

We shall survive, thanks to many many gallons of purchased store-brand water and sheer New England grit and determination.

While the set back did affect my workout plans (did the 20 minutes of aerobics but did not weight lift and walk this morning since no shower available) I am not allowing it to affect my diet.

Through all this I have finally reached my 229 mini-goal! 13 pounds down total, but 9 within the last 9 days of induction. Another 10 to go to reach the new one! Here's hoping I can get that in the next 2 weeks.

If I can keep hitting my mini-goals every 2, 2.5 weeks I may reach a size 14 by November so I can turn in my larger wedding dress for a smaller one! But in the end...if I'm doing well I may just have them so that anyway, whether I'm in the 14 yet or not.

I have, essentially 233 days in order to get down to a size 10 which is my goal. Last time I was a size 10 I was 12 years old.

Pray to the Atkins gods for me!!!
