Willie, it's hard to resist isn't it? I have been walking more and sometimes I justify having a goodie afterward cause I've walked. But I guess that's defeating the whole purpose of walking I guess. Dang it!

I picked up a turkey bacon club as I was passing by Tim's on my daily walk (mmmm, bacon). While I was waiting for my order I watched them making tons of delicious looking iced coffee drinks for the people in the drive through (one had whipped topping and caramel 🤤), but I was strong!

Beatty, thanks for posting your weekly diet. Vegetable soup sounds good. I am going to try and skip a meal, but I might need a light snack in the afternoon. Good job for the week. Glad you felt great and will continue. Keep it up, it gets better, more energy, mood is better, losing weight slowly and craving more healthy foods. Drinking more water too.

My new lifestyle 'diet' may a random mess (I'm working on a catchy name 😄) but it IS working!

Mon : meat free
Tues : two meals only (skip dinner)
Wed : light breaky, salad or soup meals only. Had veg soup for lunch, pumpkin soup snack, salmon & veg soup for dinner.
Thurs : not sure yet... need inspiration here.
Fri : fruit. Only fruit all day. Felt great after doing this last week so will repeat.
Sat : wine & eat whatever!
Sun : two meals (skip lunch)

Exercise : Mon, Tues, Thurs yoga. Tues, Fri & Sun brisk walking. Sat off.

It's kind of obsessive but there's no room to back out if today is X so I do X.

Hubs smoked a pork roast today,, first time we did this. He may have smoked it a bit long, but he cut it thin in the meat slicer and it is Wonderful! He took a piece down to mom, and while she took a bite and moved it tell him how wonderful it was,, Chloe stole a bite! So the whole family agrees it perfect! He makes his own rub. and watches a lot of cooking shows like barbeque cook off.. ( or whatever they are called).. LOL The first few times he smoked things I really could not eat it, it was so smokey,, but he has gotten the hang of it this past year!
