New Veggie Burger
Had my first Dr. Praeger's California veggie burger for lunch today. It was quite tasty and plenty big too. Put it on 1 slice of Dave's Killer 21-Grain bread along with tomato and 3 baby dill pickles. Good lunch. Will probably do that again tomorrow. I am getting used to salad without dressing, except for salsa, and sandwiches without added mayo. Dave of Dave's Killer Bread fame is going to be at our local Costco tomorrow. I may head over there to just tell him how much I like his breads. He certainly has an interesting life story.
We had sauteed mushrooms, scrambled eggs and asparagus for dinner last night. It was a nice change. I will need to make another big salad for dinner tonight. Wonder what else we could have. Maybe some brussels sprouts. I could make Mom a nice baked potato too.
Went to the food co-op yesterday and looked around. They did not carry whole grain flour. There was whole wheat and spelt and some other such, but no whole grain. There must be some around here! I walked down the aisles and decided that there's too much junky food in that store, and I would be better off staying out of there. Just because it's on a shelf in a health food store doesn't make it healthy.
My weight is hanging in there for a few days, but I know it will be heading down again, slowly, soon.

Still Doing Fine
Day 8 without meat, cheese, fish. Still feeling fine! Had a great dinner salad tonight with red and green lettuce, green olives, celery, an orange, onion, a little pineapple, garbanzo beans, and salsa for dressing. I love using salsa on my salads now. No fat involved there!
To sum up my 8 days, over this first week I had one serving of yogurt and 2 whole wheat/cornbread muffins that I made myself. I had 2 slices of Dave's Killer Bread this week, and 3 mornings I enjoyed some steel-cut oats with raisins and walnuts and without milk. I had 2 boca burgers, the smaller ones. Had black beans and garbanzo beans, a little of that mixed quinoa and sprouted brown rice. Had some great cauliflower soup for dinner last night. Lots of great salads with fruit and veggies. Need to get to the store to stock up on greens and fruit again.

New Plan; New Day
Have been eating whole foods since Sunday, and I feel pretty darned great. Because of a previous commitment, I am unable to attend a great class put on by the local SDA church called CHIP which helps people start a healthy living program. It teaches the participants that eating whole foods like vegetables, fruits, legumes, and whole grains can improve health.
Since the program meets 3 days a week, and one of them is my TOPS meeting night, it does not seem possible for me to attend at this time. I hauled out my "Eat to Live" book by Joel Fuhrman, and dived right into the program on Sunday. On Tuesday night saw the documentary "Forks Over Knives" which further convinced me that I am on the correct path.
My cholesterol and glucose levels are not great, and my plan is that they will be wonderful numbers within a few months. There is no doubt in my mind that this will happen as long as I stick with this program.
