Fall Back

Well tomorrow night we "fall back" which for me is the true harbinger of fall/winter. Thanks to a long period of warm weather in October I am down to 116 1/2 pounds which I haven't weighed since I was a teenager. I now won't mind gaining the inevitable few pounds when my appetite increases as the cold weather sets in because I'm sure I'll be starting at a lower winter weight next spring than I have in decades. I've discovered that my foodstyle (remember I've never really dieted) is what Jane E. Brody of the NY Times calls Controlled Indulgence. Her main indulgence is ice cream - mine is something called Chocolate Obsession which is basically chocolate ganache (frosting) on an Oreo cookie-crust. It's so rich I cannot eat a lot of it but I savor each bite. This style of eating works for me. Other friends swear by Atkins or Weight Watchers etc. What it boils down to is that we are all different and I believe no one eating style works for everyone.  


Save the date: I've found out that Nicholas Brendon will guest star on Criminal Minds on Wednesday, November 21st playing Kevin, a computer expert in the BAU. He and Thomas Gibson acted together in "Psycho Beach Party" way back in 2001. I only occasionally watch CM as I find it hard to watch all those women being threatened with ugly deaths by serial killers but I will watch that episode. Yay Nicholas has a job.
