Wow, ! If you can make it through New Orleans without booze --- well,

wow! I haven't been very good with my eating habits for the last two weeks

or so -- and yesterday wasn't great either - but today is a new day and it

is time to clean up my act! I'm sure you'll reach your goal soon!

As for the booze - do you drink beer, wine or hard stuff? I know that the

South Beach plan that my DH is following doesn't like beer much b/c of the

high sugar content, but the author is okay w/ wine, especially red wine, and

especially when accompanied by food (proteins and fats to counteract the

carbos).

Also, are you a vegetarian? I'm a sort of wanna be veg - I try to eat that

way for the most part but I still do eat meat, mostly b/c DH does and he

does quite a bit of the cooking!
