Thanks Ken, and you're right about that bit of focus. For me, what works is that my eating - as well as my job and other lifestyle factors - are very much seasonal. I'm not doing things the same way in bitterly-cold dark February as I am in sweltering August. Finances, having SAD, being naturally disorganized (year-round ) ... it all requires some tweaks throughout the year for me. Having daily or near-daily check lists and check-ins keeps me on track.

Barb, you're lucky, I miss corn. I got away with it for a long time, but when I was linking this thread to the new one, I saw my very first post and it was my corn mourn. A belated congrats on your success, BTW. Kat is right, I definitely cheer for everyone, but I'm usually at this thread while I'm supposed to be getting ready for work at 2:00 or 3:00 am.

Kat, good luck getting your kitchen taken care of. I had no idea there were stoves that run on propane. (*insert Hank Hill .gif here*)
