Week 12, Day One, Diet with Dianna

New week, new goals.  I am down only one more pound and down 1/2 inch in my waist. Got a lot to go, but looking back, I have lost 14 pounds! That is the weight of one of my daughters dogs. As soon as the weather cools down a bit more, I will resume walking. I do not like the heat and humidity combination. I have seen people out walking and I think they are crazy! I'll make it up very soon.

Revelation Knowledge:
I read an article on Wikipedia about carbohydrates. It is very complex and goes into great detail. Carbohydrates is four dimensional and had a variety of different components that make up the entire C_m(H₂O)_n , but that is getting way to technical. All I really wanted to know was what was best to eat, avoiding most foods that add weight during digestion. I did find out in the article that our bodies (by design of the Heavenly Father, not mentioned in the article) can do without nearly all carbs (short for carbohydrates), and having some fiber. Medical science is still in its infancy. (I'm sure God gets a good laugh from our so called, expert knowledge, on the workings of the human body.) We haven't a clue how our bodies really work. We only have complex guesses or theories as to how they work. Just look back at history to what the scientist and physicians have said; passing their findings as fact; then a few years, or sometimes decades later, change their "facts" to contradict earlier fact. Confused? Yeah, so are they!

Well, regardless of the experts, I'm going to just eat a little less carbs and continue with the a low sugar consumption of 15 grams a day.  I will also reduce my carbohydrate consumption to 90 grams per day, instead of the 120. I don't want to remove them totally, as they seem to aid in the digestion process. I will do this until I can get more exercise, then I might increase my carb intake back to 120 carb grams a day. I'll just wait and see.

Exercise:
None officially...but I did all my household chores: laundry, mopping, cleaning the bathroom, grocery shopping...and wiping down the exterior of the car after we rinsed the bird poo off.

Breakfast:
One egg, two turkey sausage links, hashbrowns, and coffee (my usual way).

Hot dog from Sam's Club (with mustard and a very few onions).

Five meatballs, a slight coating of red sauce in which they were cooked, but I didn't scoop up the sauce, only the meatballs, some leftover hashbrowns from breakfast.

Excellent Day!
