First WEIGH IN...

As you all can see my starting weight does not have a date but I do know I was in the 180's prior to coming here to Afghanistan. It feels great to be down 8 pounds from that though and to know how close I am to the 160's. Has anyone read the scale wrong before ( the ones like at the doctors office)? Well I did today and I felt real special... not in a good way. Kilos vs Pounds... I wont make that disappointing mistake while reading the scale again. Thank you all for the support during my first 10 days in the blog world, I love it I plan on sticking around.

Congrats on the loss! Way to go!

My orange and onion salad is super simple. You take an orange, peel it, cut it into slices or sections. Take some red onion cut into small strips. Put orange and onion on a plate (this is my favorite part b/c I can make it look pretty) and drizzle olive oil over the top. That's it! How much orange and onion you use is up to you depending on how sweet or spicy you want to make it. It couldn't be simpler and the best part is that it looks elegant.

Awesome!

I did the same thing the other day, only my scale has a switch on the back. It said I weighed 76 kg, but I thought it was lbs. I don't think so!

Thanks guys for all the great encouragement. Marissa- I will be trying the salad as soon as I get home. Well I’m off to read all your blogs now like I do every morning with my cup of Joe. And here Is the update on Mr.X, I put up my walls because hello I’m Afghanistan and I’m from the West Coast He’s from the South but did that stop him from doing the sweetest thing… No. In passing he handed me this little box, I slipped it in my pocket and opened it once I was alone. It was the prettiest little gold cross pendent. What’s that noise I hear…? It sounds like a wall crumbling 
