Weekly Update

I'm finally all caught up. It's been a hectic last couple of weeks. I had a family emergency and went out of town (to New Olreans). Everyone is fine now. (Thank God). But before you read my weekly numbers, remember, it WAS New Orleans. New Orleans has some of the best food in the world. I tried my best to eat healthy, but it WAS New Orleans. What's a trip to New Orleans without some fried shrimp (I had 5) and authentic southern pecan pie (I had a very small piece). Besides those couple of exceptions of decadence, I was really good. I got my daily walking in. Actually I did more walking than normal, I most ate broiled, baked or blackened seafood always with healthy steamed veggies. I stuck with my Cheerios every morning. I'm actually very proud of myself for turning down all the 'goodies' that mom tried to force feed me. After several days of trying, she gave up trying! Then I went online http://www.realage.com/doctorcenter/Board.aspx and downloaded my You: On a Diet recipes and made them for my family. They LOVED them. Mom wanted to keep the recipes to include them in her repertoire of menus. Since coming home, she's called me and mentioned that she has already made several of the healthy meals that I've introduced her too!! Just another example of how You: On a Diet isn't your typical yucky, starvation diet. It's good food, healthy food, delicious food that can and will change your life.



I've rambled long enough, without further ado, here's my results... Since I missed weighing in last Wednesday, I put in 1/2 the difference from 2 weeks ago and today. I did the same with the waist....

I'm amazed and delighted with these results.. Truly amazed. I am now wearing a 40w Levis Pants. When I started I was wearing a very tight 46w Levis. Anybody need any slightly used, slightly stretched large sized Levis?



Take Care, Eat Well,
