I am realizing that food is a habit for me, a routine that I rarely skip. My body will let me know if I need to eat and I listen, more often than not. These days I’m eating 3 meals a day plus a snack. I know the snack is off diet but it helps… Continue reading Food is a habit, exercise not so much

Swimming Lake Tallulah
EXERCISE: I swam Lake Tallulah this morning with a friend who is an expert swimmer. As always I brought my handy-dandy waterproof camera and got some shots of me in my bathing suit by the waterfall. This isn’t quite peak weight, but it still will serve as a nice “Before” picture. I estimate that I… Continue reading Swimming Lake Tallulah
I’ve been incentivized!

Like Wow! We settled on saving towards my next tattoo. DAILY CHECK IN: DIET: Today I stuck… Continue reading I’ve been incentivized!

Daily Check In
DIET: I complied with my diet for breakfast 100%, even remembering the flaxseed in my smoothie. I then made the Green Detox Tea, which was so tasty I had a second serving. The recipe came from one of the Eat to Live books, so even though it had caffeine (green tea) I felt it was… Continue reading Daily Check In

Forgot to add ground flaxseed Lunch: leftover no- pasta lasagna Dinner: Made quesadillas stuffing from red onion, black beans, spinach, and spices. Plus no-dairy mozzarella. Turns out the spinach wrap had trans-fat in it. I topped it with avocado dressing and low-salt salsa. Dessert: half an apple… Continue reading Daily Check In
How it’s going so far:
DIET: I began eating on the Eat to Live diet May 29th, 2026. I began with a spinach and black bean quesadilla. Because it’s what I had, I had a white flour wrap, with sharp cheddar cheese and sour cream. I have eaten all those wraps and replaced them today with whole wheat and spinach… Continue reading How it’s going so far:
