The 7-Day Low-Carb Rescue and Recovery Plan The word "miracle" isn't in the title, but perhaps it should be. In The 7-Day Low-Carb Rescue and Recovery Plan, The Drs. Heller (The Carbohydrate Addict's Diet) have designed a tremendously simple week-long "jump start" for anyone who wants to give low-carb living a shot--or even a second try. With their emphasis on lean proteins and plenty of fiber, rather than plain "slabs of meat" at every meal, you'll actually be adding food to your daily regimen for the first days of the program. As you continue the week, carb-heavy foods will be moved to the end of meals; partially removed; and removed entirely. A generous handful of recipes are included, all of which include plenty of spices and flavor, from the mushroom garlic dip to the sesame pork with garlic cream sauce. Some, like a flour-free "crepe," can be made ahead in stacks and frozen for later munching. The remainder of the book is helpful even to those who are doing a decent job sticking to your plan during typical days, but have problems when faced with holidays or dinners out with friends. The Hellers detail a few typical experiences we all encounter--waiting for friends at a bar and "rewarding" ourselves with sugar-laden desserts is one--and then demonstrate how to avoid typical pitfalls. Repeated urgings to "take care of yourself first" and deal with emotional issues behind food aim at long-term solutions, while methods of polite refusal will help those who feel they simply can't say "no" to a full bread basket at a restaurant. Whether you're picking up where you left off or just looking for some new techniques for keeping your weight stable, chances are you'll find them in this upbeat, encouraging book. --Jill Lightner

It's become my 7 Days tradition to post at least one picture of one of my cocktails. This one is a concoction I came up with - Dole's Pina Colada Mix, Vodka, Triple Sec, and Peach Schnapps. Very tropical! Care to join me?

If you are a little observant, you might notice in this picture that I'm not wearing my wedding ring. Don't worry - I'm still married! But one day last week at work, I suddenly noticed the diamond was missing from my ring. I looked all around my desk, in my chair, under my keyboard, etc., to no avail. I looked in my car and at home too, not being sure when it fell out. I had pretty much given up on ever finding it - it could have gone down the shower drain, fallen out in the parking lot, or have been just about anywhere. The next day, I was working, and got up to go take a break. When I came back to my desk, I glanced down at my chair and saw something small and somewhat shiny in it. There was my diamond! I have no idea how it got there, because I'm sure I checked my chair the day before. Soooo...I'm going to have it reset after Christmas sometime. And I think this time I'll be buying a personal articles insurance policy on it!

Fred is 7 years old now, and he only has one eye. I recently started teaching him some tricks, and I'm really surprised he's picked them up, since I'm not the best trainer. But, he gets so excited about the "treat" part of doing tricks, that he's not too focused. He's pretty funny though.

Loved this run of 7 Days, but then I always do! What a great group of people! I tried to do better with commenting this time - still have a lot more to do though. See you all next time!
