I’ve got to do something to get that pointer on the scale to get off of the 308 mark. I’m very frustrated right now. Not sure what I’m doing wrong. Well, I sort of do. 1 – I need to drink my water. I got 7 8oz glasses in on Monday but haven’t gotten near [...]

Review of Truvia
Posted in Product Reviews on Jul 26th, 2008
I just received a box of Truvia that I had ordered after reading some of the reviews and watching the videos its premiere in New York City. All I can say is WOW. My son was bold and took the first bit and said, “It tastes just like sugar.” I couldn’t believe it when I [...]

It’s going to be short and not too sweet. My weight hasn’t changed and this has been a tough week with my blood glucose all over the place. Woke up with a really bad headache and my glucose reading was 96. Had some scrambled eggs along with a low-carb wrap and some cheddar cheese. My [...]

Friday Update
Posted in Updates on Jul 11th, 2008
I forgot to weigh myself after I’d been at the doctor’s office, so this weight is from my home scale, which I think is pretty good. I’m at 310 as of this morning. That could be considered a loss of ten pounds, but I think I’ll wait on the actual weight loss until next week [...]
Ups and downs of getting started

Monday I didn’t eat too much during the day – mostly crackers and cottage cheese. I just didn’t feel that well. Had a cheeseburger and fries for dinner.

About food keeping
Posted in Ramblings on Jul 1st, 2008
