Congrats on the 3 pounds. Hope it is a trend.

I'm with you, I found the meal plans annoying. I remember being annoyed like that in their first book. I'd rather have guidelines than a whole slew of recipes. Nothing wrong with it, it's just that I wasn't all that interested in buying a recipe book. You could basically sum up the diet in about 4 paragraphs or less.

I was thinking of a way to rig up a thing to measure your VAT, using two yardsticks and a long ruler.

I'd make a sort of H with they yardsticks being the sides of the H and the ruler kind of slide up and down the H. I'm trying to think of what to use for a sliding bracket...

I'm weaning down on the caffeine. I am down to just one pot a day.
