161 Pounds

Diet update. I've lost 14 pounds (started at 175). And you know what? Other than the lack of pooping and Pepsi it hasn't been that hard. I really don't see that big a difference between now and my old, fat self. I look the same, though my belly has shrunk a bit.

Here's the list of things I didn't eat that I normally would have over the last month:

Spaghetti, rice, garlic bread, potatoes, soda, lemonade, cookies, ice cream, triscuits, wheat thins, grilled cheese, blts, muffins, donuts, and ribs.

I want to thank whoever recommended probiotics, that may have pushed me over the top. However, we can't be sure, because there were some extenuating circumstances this week.

I was engaged in some nerve wracking negotiations and also had several meetings, and you know that always helps my flow. Plus, I basically did not eat on Wednesday or Thursday because I was so worked up. So maybe it was a combination of those things and the yogurt.

I'm pretty much at my goal weight, and you know that means: time to do as all dieters do and balloon back up to fatter than I was before. Thanks for you help and concern.
