7/20/2018 - A totally TOO HOT day! Toward sunset did work on the gutters a bit. Got the last bit cleaned and ready to be sanded and painted. Have to cut it to proper length tomorrow then may bring inside to sand and avoid extended sweat producing work outside.
This is a picture of my "diet book", started on June 12, 2017 and used almost every day since. It is almost full, only about 12 days left so I have to start looking for another one soon. It is "old school" but this method of tracking has worked best for me.
Tally for today was under 1100. Made an interesting dish last night, put about a pound of pork loin, cut into strips, a sliced onion, cream of mushroom soup and <>1.5 c potato cubes in the crock pot. Cooked overnight. Tonight ate a serving of it over cooked cauliflower (instead of potatoes) and found it quite tasty.
Hope everyone's efforts are paying off. Have a great weekend.

Feel free to reply to any comment by clicking the "Reply" button.I semi-fasted today.
Goal 500 calories
100 strawberries
050 salad
050 peanuts
100 almonds
200 peanut butter sandwich
500 total
I loose a lot of weight in water when I semi-fast, yesterday I worked outside for most of the day in 100+F weather, with my handy man. It was a sweaty day.
I'll try holding this semi-fast until my weight is about 350, which is my goal to start walking again. I can walk now, but haven't been walking much, because I'm afraid I'll screw up joints. At 350, I feel my joints are safe. It should take about 5 days. LOL after a few days on the semi-fast, a 1000 calorie day seems like a feast.

I enjoy cooking but when it is so hot, I avoid things that will take a lot of time or create a lot of extra heat. Crockpots are still a popular kitchen tool for me. I have 3 different sizes. Although not REAL diet friendly, I love cream of mushroom soup as a pour over on several things.
@EdEarl Good pot pie is hard to beat. I did home made once, it was delicious. Not sure why I don't make it more. When I was little we had the frozen pot pies once in a great while. They were a treat! But back then they had substance. These days only a few are worth buying, let alone eating. I do love the CoM soup over pork thought, Sear some pork chops then pour on soup and cook until tender. Yum!
Better stop talking good or I'll have to get a snack.

Posted by OldMetalHeadThe hardest part for me is not falling back into old bad habits after meeting goals.

Posted by JonnaBononnaI had finally gotten back on track after gaining back most of the weight I lost a couple of years ago.
Posted by JurneeI have to say, as an overweight karate instructor, this is the one patch that I was ok with never getting.

Posted by DotLewis7 March 2020 - Diet Diary - Been quiet around here lately. I've not been on vacation, just keeping a low profile and trying to stay on top of things. Are those things incompatible?
