Congrats Earlybird! With such dedication you deserve your great results 😀.

I have been inspired to put the longer term goals in front of the short term taste. Not always winning, but improving.

earlybird - congratulations on your weight loss, your renewed energy and your new ways of eating. Following your progress has been very interesting and inspiring, I wish you all the best for the future. Keeping blood sugar in the right range is so worthwhile.

I have been eating keto today so tonight a 1/2 tin of canned salmon, a little mayo, Brussels sprouts, some roasted spicy riced cauliflower and a little beef jerky for a snack. Weird, I know. 🙃

Day 21 Last day posting my progress. Energy level amazing, I lost a total of 7 LBS. Feel great and refreshed. I never want to go back the way I was eating these last few months. Gained weight, felt sluggish, irritable and split my pants when I bent over one day. No more!! On the road to a better and healthier life style.
Bought a new pair of summer slacks, too big and baggy , need smaller size, but will keep them for around the house. Cousin asked me to join her in the pool today, swam for one hour.

Breakfast
Oatmeal with cherries, banana and almond milk

Lunch:
Hot dog, few chips. 1/2 scoop of coffee ice-cream
Snack
Avocado and small toasted crackers
Dinner: Burger on a toasted bun.
Strawberry shortcake with light whip cream

That's all folks. I like this thread very much. I have tried some really good recipes and I appreciate all the positive responses to my posts. The best to all of you!

earlybird: Good for you that you figured out you were an emotional eater and lost weight. I have an underlying factor - inherited hypothyroidism from my mother so I used to be thinner. Eat salad every night.

Energy level is amazing, not tired, can fit comfortably in my shorts and tee shirt now. Goal is to lose 30 labs. Last day posting this everyday will be June 21. Thanks all for putting up with all this. Hope it helped someone on this thread. It was good for me to see what I ate for the day and change my behavior of food accordingly . I now know I was an emotional eater. I caught myself a few times, reaching for sweets, when I was stressed. Now with some discipline I can spot it and reach for a piece of sweet fruit such as a juicy peach. My next goal will be to exercise everyday for 1/2 hour in the morning with my Body Gym to the oldies music. Yay!!

We went crabbing (got a big bucket of blue crabs) and then dug clams this afternoon. Got plenty of both for dinner.

pamzimmrrt: Our daughter got the steamed crabs and cream of crab soup from the local Fifer's Seafood. Very good that you enjoyed the same in addition to lobster. Too early in the season for crabs to be running good right now. Have a friend who is a fulltime outdoorsman and even he cannot get a lot. That, of course, dictates price.

Yes, I did recall that you, too, reside in Maryland.😀

I had to work but he made "cream of crab soup" with the lobster tail (mom ate the other lobster) and he and mom said its wonderful. He used the old bay recipe ( we are in Maryland) I plan to have some tonight!! I can't believe the price of a bushel of crabs right now!!
