Masaki - Iwouldn't dream of visiting Oahu without a visit to you and Amanda and Marika! We're not sure where in our schedule we can fit that in, but, I will certainly find a spot for it.

Don - Congratulations. Anyone who can go into open water when the air temp is 44 is a hero, I grew up off Santa Monica Beach and in summer the temp was in the 70's and I had a hard time getting wet in that temperature.

Michele - we have a Dive Shop right by the house with PADI classes. I am going to check it out after we come back from Italy. They take you to the Channel Islands for your deep water dive.

okay - I did not diet today. I took the day off. Went to lunch with some friends and had an Egg White Omelette with Veggies in it and Bagel (with cream cheese) and then walked and walked. Then we went to dinner and I had Ahi Tuna and steamed veggies. The splurge was a very tiny bite of bread and a glass of wine. The dessert came and I took a few bites of it. This practice was good for me. Hope I don't blow the weight loss for the week. I better be really good tomorrow.
