Well, I’m out.
I didn’t go Tuesday and I missed my monthly doctor visit and my blood test results. I’ll pick those up and my leisure. Hopefully my bad cholesterol (since I haven’t had any, really) is down. But who knows.
But, I’m still losing. I’m now at a not quite svelte 168, and those size twelve pants now have a little give. And after one month, I’ve lost five inches from my waist.
So, I’ve been preparing my own meals, Chicken and Lentils, Mixed Vegetable Curry — mixing in some Lean Cuisine and Whole Foods prepared meals. And it’s all very good. It’s fine. The food tastes like foods tastes — and it’s good to have textures back as well — not to mention fiber.
It’s hard — calorie counting, but I’ve managed to keep my daily count around 850. The only things missing from my diet really — are those refined carbohydrates I love so much, white flour and white sugar — and my all time favorite — real butter. Those three combined used to make up much of my diet — bread and butter, bread and cheese, pasta and butter, pasta and cheese — you get the picture.
Adam swears our illustrious governor once said, "White flour and white sugar equals white death." I can’t find a reference to it anywhere, but if he said it — he’s probably right.
So I poured my slightly smaller self into my now slightly baggy interview suit and set out for another interview today. Everyone’s lovely — but so far that hasn’t equaled one job offer — so I’m keeping my eyes open.
Am off to eat a very vegetably dinner.
