This time it’s for me

It’s been 6 days since I’ve written and that is good in a way. It shows my focus is not on the weight, the diet but just living each day. This morning I am 198! In the last 6 days my weight dropped half a pound her and there and then, as usual, the biggest change comes on Saturday or Sunday. This is Saturday, August 2. I speculated I might be 195 by the time I went to LA on vacation and it would appear I will be really close to that.

And I’ve been eating! With inspiration from Andrew Weil’s book I am having my one meal and making it the way I will eat going forward. More fruits and vegetables. I even found some grass fed beef as a treat and it was excellent. Last night I had Chilean sea bass that I baked on flavoured skewers. The skewers were a Thai coconut lime and I sprinkled the fish with curry. I steamed asparagus with red pepper slices and drizzled it with a little bit of olive oil and sea salt. It was fabulous. I am losing weight at the same rate as when I was doing just liquid so for the most part I will include a meal. Oh, and I had wine. This will remain a treat but I certainly enjoyed it. I have fallen into not cooking and it’s really easy to put together a fairly simple whole food meal. It’s not like I don’t have the time. I figure in the future to shop every couple of days to assure I am getting fresh food products and do my own cooking for the most part. Lunches may continue to be a liquid or a lean cuisine but dinner and breakfast will be my own conconctions. I love breakfast. It is nice to have time to fix it and enjoy it. I should take maximum advantage of not having to work!

Time to walk and swim and maybe the weather will allow bike riding tonight!
