I was hoping to get some exercise in after work. But I was tired and ate dinner and that was that. Doing well in maintaining ETL.


Weight 182

Another successful day! I think I’ve CASS under control. Took my lunch into WW. Had the three meals and no snacks.  Didn’t weigh in this morning.  Yesterday I made Indian Cauliflower  Stew and Vegetable barley soup. The frig and freezer are full of pre-cooked meals. It’s been a successful week!

Five Day into ETL

No, chocolate or salty snacks, one beer after at PLT with the members of the Fred Scot Society after our meeting. Eating three meals and no snacks. Yes, I feel good. My mind has switched I told feel the cravings!

Friday evening was telling the habit no more. Usually after getting home from my long work week and walking and feeding Miss Fiona, I head for PLT for a pint (or two) and a supper. Not yesterday! My habit told me I was to, but I said no. It was a victory. But it wasn’t actually hard at all. I realize I am reprogramming my brain. I do have a meeting in a little while for a meet up and will have one beer,

Got a half hour walk in this morning. Need to establish that habit. I’ve been a 182 for the last three mornings. Cooking Carries recipe for Cauliflower Indian Stew. I have on the stove also some barley and vegetable soup on. Each breakfast has been oatmeal and fruit.

Lunches have been ‘Hale to the Kale’ salad or a green smoothie.

To give myself more encouragement and to be sure I have them for GMHG, I am ordering today, two PV kilts in Malcolm tartan from USA Kilts in my target sizes.
Three inches smaller in my waist from where I am, today! LOL!

WOW!

Dropped two& ½ pounds, yesterday and 6 ½ from Monday when I got back on ETL!

The cravings for salty snacks and chocolate is gone. I’ve had one beer, last night with friends at Park Lane Tavern (PLT).

I have one beer in the fridge. A Gaelic ale from the Highland brewery in Ashville, NC. It will stay there until the six weeks are over. I’ll have a beer with my buds when I am out with them. And then only one. No alcohol to be drunk at home. At the end of the work week I can go out for one beer, if I am so inclined.

I am feeling great. Slightly euphoric I would say. Amazing what a whole foods plant diet does for you.

Week with no CASS!

Working day at Wally World. Steel cut oats for breakfast. Took in for lunch black beans & rice and an apple. Got home to watch the playoffs. Had popcorn. Thanks to my sister, I now pop the corn in a lunch bag in the microwave. Eat them plain.

For supper ate a Boca burger on a whole wheat round, with mustard and sliced pickle. Later had steamed collards, a bunch. A few dried cranberries was dinner. Well Sharon found some pistachios so I ate them. Feeling a little stuffed.

No, chocolate, salty snacks or alcohol for 6 days.

Weighed in 181.
