At Our Pace

It’s been an eventful week.  I stuck to my sensible eating plan.  I increased my exercise.   I’ve drunk enough water to rehydrate the Sahara.  And I’ve been fairly happy and upbeat while doing it all.

Ok, so we have all been at the store and seen all the low calorie, low fat, low cholesterol, light, sugar free packaging at the store.  What does this all mean?

All summer long the children were around the house, doing the things that kids do on summer vacation.   EAT.  They eat anything!  My 15 year old daughter with the metabolism of gazelle can eat a dozen eggs at a sitting and still complain that she is hungry.  The 7 y

I like meat.

Beef, chicken, pork, beef, bacon, beef, all of these things are an active part of my diet.  My affinity for them makes it hard for me to write a menu that is healthy.  My main problem is my complete and total hatred of fish.  Fish seems to be the foundation of every healthy diet.  This is a problem for me.

This dish is so refreshing and good!  The ingredients might surprise you, but trust me, this is incredible!!!  I first had this at Jessica Brigden's house (my Stampin' Up dealer :) and she said she got the recipe from a Wegman's Menu magazine.  Everyone who has tried it has been pleasantly surprised and EVERYONE goes back for seconds.  Plus, could this get any easier? 

I had my yearly physical yesterday.  The scale at the doctor's office had me, fully clothed, at 351 pounds.  351!  That's pretty amazing for me.  I'm not going to use that as my current, in-progress weight, though.  I'm going to stick with my scale, acting as sort of a 'control' group.  That scale has me at 354.

In my last blog I mentioned Step 1 was Just Try.  I'm currently at Step 0.5 because I'm not trying hard enough.  Somedays not even trying at all.  We all know this isn't easy, but at times it's like I'm going out of my way to make it even more difficult for myself. 

      Well, here it is about 2 weeks after my first blog post, and I am about 2 pounds heavier now than I was when I started... gar.... <must not lose focus>
