Cathy Farris Quilts: I really love the Midlife Crisis quilt - it's all pretty much the same square, only differentiated by colour! Also see the Safe Haven quilt! It's all colour!

Diet Update
When I weighed myself on Sunday night at the parentals, I was down to 58.4kg, from the original of 60.7kg. I was going to switch over from the Attack phase to the next phase of the plan: the Cruise phase, which is one day of pure proteins (same as the Attack phase) and one day of proteins, plus non-starchy vegies. (ie. no rice, corn, potatoes, peas, broad beans, lentils, etc.)
The plan is basically to keep going with the protein, protein+vegies diet until you hit your desired weight. (56kg in my situation. The 'real weight' I got when putting in my details was actually 54.4, but I doubt they accounted for added muscle mass.)
Which would have made it Monday - protein+vegies, Tues - pure proteins, Wed - protein+, etc. Since I have dinner with a friend on Friday, this worked well enough. Until the parentals called to say we were going to lunch for the Sydney International Food Festival.
I kept to the diet. Mostly. (I had a small piece of bread - about 2" cubed - and a small freebie thingy from the kitchen that was broadbeans, parmesan, and a thin crust of bread.)
So Wednesday and Thursday will be pure protein days, and Friday we'll do the protein/vegies thing again. (Since I'm going out with a friend for dinner. Crap. Must book.)
I'm actually finding that I prefer the pure protein days - that I don't feel so bloated after them. It's kind of nice not to feel bloated at the end of the day. I do miss the things I'm not allowed to eat, but I'm a long way from hungry, which is a good thing.
We'll see what I weigh tomorrow, 1 week after starting this diet. The weight loss is supposed to slow down during the protein/protein+vegie dual diet stage.
