It's amazing how much I miss here being gone for just one day. Yesterday DH and I had our "computer-free day" so that's where I was, if you missed me. ;-) I'm somewhat caught up with my Flist, but not entirely -- I'll try to finish getting caught up on all the posts I missed and owe replies to before the end of the day, okay?
DS and I went to our second Weight Watchers meeting this morning -- I lost 3 lbs, and DS lost 5.8 lbs!! He got an award for that, bless him! He's pretty encouraged, and so am I. DH is playing along with the dieting and watching his points as well; he's lost a few pounds, too. I've been having some trouble with low blood sugar in the afternoons, so I am delving into my extra weekly points allowance, but I guess that's part of the planning. We'll see if I can keep up the good work this coming week.
One fun thing was that it turns out that a friend of mine from the Bible study we have begun attending on Wednesday nights goes to the same WW meeting DS and I go to, so we sat together today. It's nice having a friend there with you -- I'm glad I have a support group with some of you others here, too! Even though we can't go to meetings together, we still are supporting one another and that's half the battle sometimes.
In other news, Hubby is looking into townhouses and duplexes for rent -- I am beginning to think a duplex might be the way to go, if there is one affordable. There is something appealing about the possibility of having a yard instead of a wee patch of cement patio, even if it does mean having to mow the lawn ourselves.
More later, perhaps; it's time for lunch!

Thanks for the advice with the glucose, I do need to plan snacks, I think, at least until I get used to the diet.
