Day 39 PV Friday 182.6 Friday September 9 2011
Daily Loss: 1 lb
Total Loss: 23.4 lbs
Wt. to go: 28.6 lbs
Loss 1 Pound. Wow. I was hoping to be stable. I knew I was retaining fluid because I checked my legs but forgot to last night. I just did not feel well yesterday and last night. I decided not to go to exercise today. Too much coughing.
I am looking forward to being halfway there soon. Clothes wise I have a difficult choice. Clothes are too large, but when to buy clothes? There are big sales due to the change of the season. I can live with large clothes for a long time. I have plenty. I will save to spend at the Destin, Florida outlets at Christmas time. I know that I need to slow down and enjoy what is here now.
I just need to follow the program one day at a time. Today is PV and I know I must eat more veggies to avoid the side effects. I got some veggie last night and after giving away the sweet potato and apple. I have a mess of green beans. (‘mess’ means enough to cook.) The green beans I have are called rattlesnake beans (they have blackish stripe on the green bean).
Rattle beans note the dark lines
When the bean is fully mature and a bit dry I imagine that when you shake it the beans sound like a rattle snake. But that is just a guess. I am going to cook it southern style, a bit of onion, some bacon (turkey) and lots of time.
1/2 onion and 3 slices of turkey bacon.
Add water or chicken broth and then time to cook down.
Note how the rattlesnake lines are gone. This was soooo good.
I still have brocoli salad with cheese and bacon. I did parboil it (boil in tons of water and plunge in ice water). I makes brocoli look bright green. This is how it looks cooling off in ice water.
Brocoli looking very green
I even timed it but it is about cooked and I wanted green with more crunch. Pretty.
So I always plan more than I eat. but here is the plan.
