I made way too many starches last night for dinner so that my proportions were off. Vegan sloppy joes over a baked potato, baked french fries and a salad. It’s amazing how many potatoes you can down with homemade french fries. The result .. up .5 lb today and today is weigh in
Oh [...]

The last week of the month is always crazy busy with work so I haven’t posted much. McDougall is going well but my menu for this week sucked. I didn’t like a lot of the meals. I rushed making the menu so that probably had something to do with it. I am craving some bread [...]

I’m also in love with his wife for creating so many great recipes. I couldn’t have made it even this far without them! And that’s not really me — just having some fun online with effects
I am down to 146.5 in just a few days of doing the McDougall Maximum Weight Loss plan. [...]

I am becoming more and more convinced that this is the diet for me. I reread the book — much more slowly this time — and it is great! It’s all about calorie density! I believe when I tried this before my ratio of green/yellow veggies to starch was too low so I need to [...]

Fuck. Fuck. Fuck. I’m back up to 151 today. Overslept this morning. Ugh I’ve just been off this week and its only the 2nd week in January. I will never meet my goal of 145 this month. I screwed up yesterday with whole wheat bread. I’m making little ’slips’ into dinner (i.e. adding olive oil [...]

Period started yesterday and I am absolutely dragging. I was in a complete fog all day yesterday and could barely keep my eyes open. I’m not sure why but as I’ve gotten older my periods have gotten stronger and more intense. Maybe it’s the IUD??
Anyway, [...]

Yesterday was my second day of following the Eat to Live program. I also got my period so I wasn’t in the best place. Feel drained, tired, frustrated, lonely, ugly — typical for this time of the month. Today I don’t feel as though I have any energy what-so-ever.

I am currently reading Dr. Joel Fuhrman’s Eat to Live. Excellent book and I highly recommend it. It really is a wealth of information regarding a healthy diet and the perils of the standard american diet (SAD). His main theory is that we just don’t eat enough produce, especially leafy greens. He recommends 2 HUGE [...]

150.5 6 days vegan and barely any weight loss! Ugh this is driving me nuts! I guess I should start watching my wine consumption. I’m probably different but I’ve always been able to drink what I want and lose — food was more of the contributing factor. I lost 30 lbs drinking wine every single [...]

I don’t get it .. 4 days strict vegetarian and low fat and I’m up 2 lbs. WTF .. I did have bread which goes against both McDougall and Eat to Live so I need to reign that in. I didn’t have any salad yesterday either. My goal was to combine McDougall and Eat to [...]
