DAY TWO ON THE GRAPEFRUIT DIET went well. I have patted myself on the back because last week when it was an emotional roller coaster ride of a week I did not over eat to fill a void created by deaths in the family. I managed to eat cautiously and not drown my sorrows by over eating and drinking. That is saying a great deal about how I handled my sorrow and emotional eating. I didn't overeat or drink. Staying the course and I lost another 3 pounds. Praise God.
Yesterday's meals have been eaten, I will revisit the fridge to see where we are on the next days meals so I can go shopping at Natural Grocers to stock up on a variety of lettuces and other veggies that I am allowed to eat during this 12 day segment. By the time I go shopping I will have 2 days under my belt and 10 more to go before I have 2 free days which I will still be careful about intake and variety of food choices.
Day off meals will include cooked oatmeal with fruit and a sprinkle of nuts and I will skip grapefruit juice. Drink a V8 during the day. Lunch will be whatever my little heart desires. Maybe actual tacos or burritos. Supper...the same. Whatever I want to munch on. Might allow a small dessert. Shall see. Some different fruit instead of just grapefruit. Cottage cheese sounds like a winner to me as I really like that stuff.
The saying that 'nothing taste as good as being slender' comes to mind.
I have a frozen turkey that I will pull out of the freezer and let thaw for 3 days before baking. Looks like I will be baking it on Friday or Saturday meaning turkey for next weekend's meats on the Grapefruit Diet. Also have some chicken in the freezer and a ham. That provides a week's worth of meat to cover the bases for the next 10 days.

ON THE HOME FRONT. I have hopes of going through items this week that I will clean up and turn loose of. The dining room still is waiting to be painted. Plastic covers are needed to cover the remaining furniture in the dining room plus the carpet. The curio cabinets need to be relocated elsewhere than the dining room. I'd like less furniture in there to free up some space. Hubby is shuffling and cleaning the carriage house so there will be room to place some furniture in there making the interior of our HOME better situated for comfort and decluttering.
I may be slow but I am still thinking and in motion as I am in slow- mo. Steady goes the tortoise racing against the hare. Who won the race, but the tortoise. Hallelujah something went well going slow, but steady.
Weight loss is like that. The slower the weight comes off it is more likely that it will stay off. So away I go with having slow weight loss. In the end, I hope I win by having victory losing weight that my 'ole body does not need to carry. So long.
Blessings to you and thank you for stopping by spending some time in my corner of the world. May we continue to be cautious what we put into our mouths and eat healthier to assist us in living a healthier life.
Are you with me?
God bless,
