LOW FAT: Innumerable Days, Cory

OK!  I have finished up all the stuff!!  Tomorrow, I am going to the store and buying very simple stuff and going to try low carb for at least a week. 

Sometimes that makes me feel weak/woozy, so if it does that, I will cutting it short.  But I don't intend to be crazy strict about it, so that should help.  I'm not gonna go zero carbs or anything like that, just limiting them.  I am thinking one small serving per meal.

We'll see how it goes!  Mostly, I am happy to be done with all the rice and pasta and veggies in the freezer and all the stuff I had to eat down to get ready to move out for a week or two in a few weeks, while work is done on the house.

Whew.

Did loads of walking today for my exercise - I'd say about 5 miles.

LOW FAT: Day 1 million and one, Cory

OK.  So it's not over 1 million days, but it feels like it!

I should be done with this by the end of this week.  I am so sick of rice and pasta . . . ugh.  I swear if anyone gets me pasta again for a gift, I am going to throw it on the floor, stomp it into 254,678 pieces, spit on it, and curse them until they are aflame with shame!

I live alone people.  I live alone!

Anyhow, I've learned that I'll have to move out for several weeks, probably in June to get the work done on the house.  So I've got to the end of May to get everything, including the food, as cleaned out as I can get it.

So, once I get through what is in the house (by the end of this week), I will then buy minimum stuff until moving day in June.

I am thinking "Low Carb," next.  After weeks of pasta and rice, I am ready for a change.

Did a lot of walking today . . . probably added up to about 5 miles.

CAPPY!  Good to see ya, and good to hear you are doing well.

LOW FAT: Day 13, Cory

Well, I've been doing OK, just eating kinda crazy as I continue to try to empty my cupboards.

And I'm a little down right now, from all the cleaning and such I've been doing.  It's a bit depressing.

Things will be better when I get back to my routine at work.

I've just got to hang in.  I think I've lost a little; definitely haven't gained.

Cappy, hope you are doing well!

Low Fat, Day 11, Cory

A completely off my diet day!

Yes, that's right - I ate anything I wanted, all day long!  This included ice cream!

My only exercise was mowing the yard.

Hey, I think it's important to have a day like this one every once in awhile.  I didn't go hog wild or anything, but my friend was having a dinner party tonight, and I wanted to try everything, and I just woke up today and thought - what the heck, have a "free" day.

And I did.

Back to the grind tomorrow.

CAPPY!  Good to see you, and good to know you're gonna keep truckin'.  No worries with posting on a less frequent schedule.  Play around with it and see what works best for you.

LOW FAT: Day 3, Cory

Let's see - had shrimp & pasta for all three meals!  Small portions. 

As God as my witness, I am going to get rid of this pasta!

Also had three pieces of fruit, and a slice of whole wheat bread spread with two of those soft light laughing cow cheeses.

Only exercise today was the cleaning (included mopping and getting on hands and knees to clean floor), and walked about a mile.

Cappy! I know you are just plain busy, and have some stresses you are dealing with - so be good to yourself, do your best, and I'll leave the light on for you.

In the meantime, I am going to begin writing a poem to you, based on Walt Whitman's "O Captain, my Captain":

O Cappy, My Cappy

(Verse 1)

O Cappy my Cappy!  Our fearful blog is not done!
I cannot give you any slack; the prize we sought is not won!
The goal weight is nearer, the picture is clearer, we are all exulting,
While followers read of our steady meals, our diets grim and daring;
But O heart! heart! heart!
O cottage cheese and caffeine,
Where on the blog my Cappy's posts,
Are no longer seen.

Stay tuned for coming verses!

LOW FAT, Day 2, Cory

Well, I had the grilled chicken salad when I went out to lunch with the sis-in-law, and one piece of bread with it.  Had small portion of veggie pasta for brk (I am trying to get rid of that pasta!!), and grilled chicken pasta for dinner.  Had a piece of fruit and some yogurt.

So, I did OK with the eating.  I wanted to resist the bread at lunch, but then I thought:  Hey, I'm doing "low fat" right now, so bread is OK.

Exercise was kinda sketchy today.  Didn't do anything formal at all, but a lot of up and downstairs, still doing the cleaning and such, and then carrying many a heavy bag of trash from the back of the house, down the driveway, to the curb.  And a very short walk (say, 4 blocks total) with my sis and the dog.

Cappy!  Check in and lemme know how it's going!  I'm gonna lose my own motivation without my Cappy!

LOW FAT: Day 1, Cory

I have renamed my diet, so that I can feel a little more like I'm making progress.  I dunno.  It just makes me feel better.

I'm actually still working on the cupboard cleanup, but the food it involves is basically equivalent to a low fat diet.

Same type of eating today, though I had a goat cheese sandwich with my veggie & rice soup at lunch.  Same type of exercise as yesterday.

I am feeling pretty hungry right now - I think I will have a pear.

Capperina!  Hope all is well.  Are you seeing any progress?  Mine is slow, but it is happening.  I am eating lunch out with my sis-in-law tomorrow, and then dinner at a friends house on Thurs evening. So I have some challenges to get past, but I can do it.  It's all about the company, anyhow. :)
