Day 8

Posted by Jim at 9:30 AM

Another day of a little less pressure on the bathroom scale...244.2 this morning...and sugar reading 7.6...last two days in the sevens instead of eights for glucose readings...that's progress. Katie stayed the same weight wise.

You may be bored with what I eat for breakfast everyday but I'm not, Oatmeal with fresh blueberries and banana today with Soy Milk, flax seed and hemp seed. Delicious, filling, and good for the weight loss plan.
Also a side of vitamins.

For lunch I had a big salad with home made dressing, and a bowl of Lentil soup.

For Supper we had a big salad with home made dressing, and a eggplant and bean casserole with whole wheat couscous...VG!

Pinapple slices, strawberries, and green grapes for dessert.

more later....

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.
