OK…  I got some motivation back…  Getting some good feedback from the clothing.  I put on a pair of pants that I could barely button 1 month ago and even thought about putting on a belt….only for a second.  😉  My calves hurt just walking to the bathroom so I hopped in the car and went to the gym.  I rode the recumbent bike for 40 minutes and the sweat was embarrassing.  I kept the heart rate above 140 almost the whole time but it seems to take a while to get it up there at the beginning.  Maybe that’s a good sign…I don’t know…but I did check my resting heart rate in the morning last week and it was 61 BPM.

Eating salads, eggs, veggies, string cheese, yogurt, and mostly lean meat…  I admit I must have a couple slices of salami on occasion or some Corralitos sausage…  Those I cannot give up entirely…  Oh, and I had a sweet tooth craving before bed and looked for some sugar free jello to make, but couldn’t find any.  I had a pair of Metamucil wafers (chocolate flavor) to boost the fiber.  I think they said 6g of sugar… Oh well, they’ve got FIBER! …and they taste pretty good.  Thanks Nina!  Cheers…
