EDIT:  this is my weight loss graph from 6/5/09 - 8/28/09 (yes, the numbers are removed)

I've been exercising and I've had really good low-carb/low glycemic days.

My weight it stuck. I do tend to have plateaus about every 15-20 pounds so I'm 5 pounds overdue.  I'm maintaining so that's good.

Okay...I pre-posted a couple of days ago so the recipe would be up...and my got knocked off the plateau.

My weight this morning was 6.2 pounds less than the Friday before we left on vacation (2 weeks ago) and 5.4 pounds less than the day we left.

Here's a morning smoothie I've been making

(yes...I blend the watermelon rind in with the smoothie...there are a lot of vitamins and fiber in that rind.  I threw in a little hidden veggie and it doesn't effect the taste at all.  I don't add sweetener because that's in the fiber drink powder.
