So... I'm still doing the "no high fructose corn syrup" thing. I have quit buying anything with it in the ingredients list, and I have stopped drinking a daily soda. In fact, if I have a soda it's usually once a week or so. My husband has had a hard time following the plan (that he suggested in the first place!) so I keep finding cereal and snacks he brings home from his job at Kellogg's that have The Devil on their labels. Gah!! Lucky for me, I don't eat a lot of cereal... and rarely any of the snacks he chooses. But I'd rather not have my kids eating it either. So the uphill battle hasn't eased much...
This summer I participated in a fitness program at the University of Arkansas that resulted in no weight loss, but an improvement in my resting heart-rate and blood pressure. It's a start! I also renewed my membership to a local gym last week, and will be working out three times a week after dropping my son at school. I'm lucky to have a 30-hour-a-week job so I don't have to be in until 9am. I'm hoping for some weight loss, so that I can run in shorts without them pulling up and getting hung in my crotch. There are other reasons to want to lose weight, of course, but I think none are as pressing as that.

Nothing brilliant or ground-breaking to share this go-round I guess. Just wanted to let you know I'm not dead, nor have I had a crippling accident that's keeping me from using my laptop. I'll try to be better.
