Milestones

Finally getting back to the swing of phase 1, and it shows.

As of this morning, I'm 25 pounds lighter than 40 days ago (which is when I started this grand adventure).

Dinner last night was a spinach salad with a home-made mustard vinaigrette (My wife made the salad and the dressing).   And the entree was a shrimp and zucchini stir-fry, with just enough fresh lemon juice over it to really make the flavors pop.  (This is the sort of meal that we'll continue to eat after the diet is over -- except maybe with a little rice)

After dinner, we went grocery shopping.  That's the downside of this diet.  We have food for about 7 days for all four of us, and the take was about $25 more than our usual pre-diet grocery bill.

That said, it IS a lot of fun pushing a cart full of fresh vegetables and seafood and raw meat through aisles filled with shoppers whose carts are laden with frozen dinners similar things.

On to 30 pounds!
