Our bodies for both of us appear to be taking a weight loss break. Katie stayed the same as yesterday and I gained .4/lb. That's ok...we will continue on...no problem.
Sugar so far is staying in the same range...this morning 8.8...would like to see this lower in the morning but this is without medication. Still hope to get this lower with more weight loss and I believe that will happen.
We had oatmeal, with Almond Milk, blueberries, hemp seed, bananas, walnuts, flax seed and cinnamon, for breakfast...Great!
We are on the go today, so going to have a bowl of Katie's home made soup before we go, and later on if we are not home when we are hungry, we will have a salad with dressing on the side.
more later...

About Us
- Jim
- Pharr, Texas, United States
- Every Year for the past few years, Katie and I journey to Pharr, Texas, where we have a mobile home in Paradise Park. We also sponsor three girls in Nuevo Progeso, Mexico, so they can go to school. We travel to Mexico to see the kids, with Sr. Maureen Crosby who runs the program and our friends Ken and Vickey, who are Sr. Maureen's constant helpers. Starting last year we also go by ourselves several times
Welcome to our Blog
Some history....Katie and I quit smoking way back when, about 20 years ago, and we've never been the same since. We both gained a lot of weight and basically it has been with us ever since. You might ask yourself...well what have you done about it?...oh nothing!...just kidding....how about a variety of different eating plans, diets, exercise routines including a personal trainer for awhile.
What was the result of all this...well times of success but ultimate failure. Why? because we always revert to bad habits and bad eating We do all the things that most overweight people do, we eat when we're not really hungry, we eat too much, we eat the wrong things, we eat to feel better, we eat to fulfill our cravings.
Sad part is, that when we had the trainer, we got stronger, lost some weight felt better. When he was no longer in a position to train us, we thought that's ok we can do it on our own...WRONG!
We became Vegans for 4 months...it started off as a one month experiment and we found it so easy that we continued for 4 months. You can read that account here

We were good at it thanks to Katie's ability to make anything taste good, we lost weight and felt better. I also turned it into a bit of an entertainment blog so people wouldn't get too bored. We took pictures of virtually every meal and described things.
What happened? Well at the four month mark, we thought we would just add a few things a little at a time...oops the little things became big things...and the first long trip we took to Texas for a month, we reverted right back to our old bad eating habits. It's hard to travel and eat properly and it's hard when you're in a community setting with friends and happy hours to not indulge.
So now, we're decided enough is enough!!!!! So tomorrow we are starting a new phase in our lives which involves a concept called "Eat to Live" Eat to live is the title of a book, and way of eating which has been the life work of Dr. Joel Fuhrman. He has been on PBS, Dr. Oz, and is well published.
Rather than explain exactly what and how we'll be doing what we're doing, we will show and explain as we go along from day to day, and explain the results as we go along.
Hope you will enjoy and learn as we intend to do.
