bon soiree brunch

A little party at work

A Tex-mex treat

All LowCarb!

 

Spring fever is rampant here!

A classy classic

 

Guess who won a treat?

Me - 2nd most hours worked...

And look at all the time I took off this year!

 

Picked the RayBan wrap-around style sunglasses

because I am old.

And need polarized side-UV protection.

Monster w/protein

Creatine, water. Coffee w/hot chocolate

Brunch ala above 

Coffee w hot/chocolate for dinner (not too hungry.)

4,000 steps and 

Washed the truck by hand. Cleaned it out, organized my supplies.

Getting ready for the trip! I've got a date with a Pelican.

The one who started it all one year ago!

If anyone doesn't know the story, I started a LowCarb diet one year ago.

While on vacation in the Grand Canyon, I got stuck behind a major snow storm.

After several days of no electricity, not a lot of food, and lots of hiking, 
I came home 15 pounds lighter!

March 2009

205 + pounds

Just a guess - I never weighed myself!

making a spectacle of myself

It's a wonder they don't kick me out of LensCrafters!

Why is it hard to date an optometrist?

They keep asking "Is THIS better, or do you like THAT?"

How about now?

 

Just in time for summer...

mouth slobbering snack....

Eggs w/spinach and parmesan for dinner.

Or do you call it "supper?"

Monster w/ 2 scoops protein

Creatine, water, coffee

pistachio nuts

Atkins bar.

Scales said 145 this am!

I weigh about once a month, for the record. 10 pounds from my Army weight.

I am 5'2" or 62 inches tall. Someone said they want to know 

how tall a person is when they post a weight.

This is my own grey hair colour.  I am 49 years old, and don't wear bi-focals!

Since losing weight, my vision has improved!

A couple of days off to get ready for vacation. Lots of errands and minutiae.

Love and hugs and blogs to ya'll!

low carb what?

There's a lot of questions about what you can have

on a "LowCarb" regime.

Well, you "can have" anything you want, really.

Some things just work better for weight-loss than others.

Sure, there are meats of all kinds. 

Beef, chicken, fish, pork, turkey, etc.

This we know.

 

Salads of all kinds.

Cheese, eggs, etc.

Some  Most veggies -

Just not the super-starchy ones  :(

But there are so many more things to eat and still be LowCarb.

It really is just common sense on a plate.

Questions?

Yes, you there, with your hand raised.

Fruits? Berries? Nuts?

Yes and yes!

It might be easier to list the few things that aren't

LowCarb, than to list all that is!

Well, not LowCarb*per se!

Monster w/protein

Atkins bar

Oatmeal on peanut butter. Yep, a little snack.

coffee, w/ sugar free hot chocolate

Angus patty grilled

salad w/1,000 island dressing.

No work today, no work-out

Stretching every day...even "off" days
