Steel cut oats
Vanilla extract 1 teaspoon
Ground cinnamon 1 tablespoon
Medium apple
6x4 soup
1/2 cup green peas
1.25 cups collards
.75 cup brown rice
2 veggie soup
Kidney beans, drained, washed 1/2 can
2 cups Romaine lettuce
1 cup chopped tomato
Exercise:
Lift weights 10 pounds each hand 4 sets: 12 reps, 10 reps, 8 reps, 6 reps, 12 and 12
Over head lift, bicep curl, chest fly and triceps over head dips I do this triceps exercise while lying in my bed and let the weight go over the end of the bed. I think of my bed as a wide weight bench at home instead of at the gym.
Walk 30 minutes in the yard while the children played.
I carried the smallest child (30 pounds) for an additional 10 minutes of walking.
I saw my lung specialist. He said my lungs sound clear. I thank God for antibiotics that cleared up the bacterial infection in just 7 days. Now if my guts (friendly bacteria ) and other equipment will recover and function correctly, I will be in great shape soon. I keep probiotics for use after a round of antibiotics. I think all is well.
I was pleased that the doctor noticed that I have lost weight. My blood pressure was 116/ 64. I don't take BP Rx. I think those are pretty good numbers for an old woman!
I had a good laugh when I told my 82 year old sister that I plan to get down to her size: 100 pounds, but I am 3 inches taller so actually I shouldn't go below 112. She laughed and said," Why would you want to do that? People are unkind. They say,'How do you ever walk on those skinny legs?'" I'm not losing weight to please anyone but myself. Same thing for swimming and nearly all I do. Only the Lord has to be pleased with me.
I hope you had a great day of sunshine. I did.

My dear husband came home last night just fuming after eating supper in a local restaurant. He declared, "I am never going to eat in another restaurant anywhere!" I told him, "The only place I know you are never going is to hell."
He said, "Well if I do go there, at least the food will be hot!"
I made 6x4 soup last night so if I do get stuck with a leftover white potato, maybe a neighbor will eat it. Maybe I can ship it to MandyBee!
I like sweet potatoes. Life is good. White potatoes please most people, but I don't need to eat them. There are other starches to eat and I like all of the others. I am so grateful to Dr.McDougall, Mark Cooper, Jeff Novick, Wildgoose Carole and the other board members for providing this knowledge, this community and the opportunity to lose weight with coaching free of charge. Thank you!
