Andrea, last year I saw an ad in Martha Stewart Living that showed labels from the last couple of decades, and suggested if you had the old tins they were too old. I had a few.
I have an hour before I leave to pick up my son, so I'm going to take a pizza crust out of the freezer for his dinner (I made several extras a couple of weeks ago) and then take the dogs for a vigorous walk around a few blocks. We'll puff our way up the hill and see if we can't make a dent in the ripples of waistline. I have my frugal hamburger patty and a generous salad for dinner tonight. The lunch each day isn't aways my favorite but Tarnower had a substitute lunch of cottage cheese with a teaspoon sour cream. Back then they probably didn't have little cartons of low fat yogurt, so I'm going to be using that and fruit for some of the lunches I don't care for. I need a little protein to keep me going. All fruit for lunch just doesn't let me make it through the afternoon.
My first diet goal--to fit comfortably (not crammed into) several pairs of pants for the cooler weather. I haven't stepped on a scale--that sometimes sets me back more than it helps.
