week 18 day 1

korean spicy chicken, rice and spicy eggplant today with salad. I think I am switching from soup to salad since it is no longer cold

17 weeks and I have only lost 15 lbs....oh well , I am not going hungry and eat pretty much the way I usually do except mostly cut out the junk well unless I bake a cake .....I suppose I need to make more of an effort

more success than failures weekly..in fact its all success as you lost and not gained...going towards goal...just think if you kept doing what you are now in 17 weeks what loss could be...dont go get to skinny on us now.

thanks for the encouragement! And I will never get too skinny...unless I get sick or something
 
I use to laugh thinking the only way I could lose weight was to get a dreaded disease. I proved myself wrong!
I'll tell you what seems silly and I even mentioned it to my better half yesterday. For the last 30 years, I ALWAYS had to leave my tee shirts untucked, since my belly was umm, very pronounced. Now that I'm down 50+ pounds, I tuck in all my tee shirts, just because my belly doesn't hang out. What a silly thing, but it is my greatest achievement I've had in years. Do this for your health and your self confidence!

thanks!

Just thinking about the trip, obviously no diet there....I just hope I don't gain everything back. People are going to want to go out to eat with us and bake cakes and there are Doner Kebabs and all sorts of awesome bakery stuff ( walmart bakery would not sell 1 item over there) plus my town has its own beer brewery LOL

just way things are...way better than i was an hour was my limit riding for years and years..never would i have thought i could do this right now...life is great...get out and do it...!!
 
Week 18 day 6

got some more microgreens at the market and made rice bowls when we got back. Really good, easy, healthy and cheap too. I cut up a few sweetpotatoes and roasted them with some olive oil and seasoning in the oven, added some chickpeas after a while
Cooked rice. Made sauce: soy, peanutbutter, sesame oil , some rice vinegar and a little honey
cut up a few avocadoes and added some pickled red onions I made a few days ago to the rice bowl plus the greens
