One week later...

..or one pound later. Sheesh! I've been a roller-coaster of gain and loss since October 22nd. Weight gain can be explained by the lack of a bowel movement in the morning as I tend to weigh after that and before breakfast, but if you don't have to go you don't have to go. The drastic slowdown in weight-loss can be attributed to the lack of water drank I think. It seems that on days where there is no change is the morning after the day I drank very little water. The days I drink 7 to 9 glass I tend to shed a pound by morning. This morning I was down to 227 lbs. I haven't been this light in over a year! I gotta tell you folks that I am feeling great! Less heartburn and re-flux too since I dropped to at least 230.

Yesterday I made spaghetti with meatballs. But I also did spaghetti squash and instead of straight up turkey meatballs I used 2/3 ground beef and 1/3 ground turkey, the leanest of both I could fine. Eight meatballs equaled 11 points. My son and I ate it on top of the spaghetti squash and my wife had hers on wheat noodles. I had two servings because the spaghetti squash has no points and I had missed lunch again. I served both up with a side of summer squash and zucchini. I did the squash on a cast iron skillet with salt,pepper and paprika.



Speaking of cast-iron skillets. Why did I wait so long to get one? I have a non-stick skilled that I'm thinking of selling or throwing away now because this is so much better. I love doing omelets in it. I get better results compared to the non-stick stuff I have used. The only downside is I can't put it in the dishwasher.

What happens when I am in a house that has cats or dogs? I sneeze a lot. What happens when I rub my eye in a house with cats or dogs? This! For some strange reason it only happens to one eye and not both.









Tonight we are having left over meatballs. If we watch our points we can have it over noodles. We went to Sunday school and then Wendy's for lunch today. I racked up 25 points at Wendy's.

Speaking of Sunday school. It was my sons first day so I sat in with him. They were doing some singing and using hand gestures and the person asked my son how he knocks on the door and he said "No, I ring doorbell!" LOL so funny.
