One persons weight loss doing Calorie Restriction with Optimal Nutrition

I don’t think that it is just MacD’s that use hamburger from one thousand cows. I won’t buy ground beef from a super market, I do buy Coleman’s and order beef from Bud’s Custom Meats, 7750 Petaluma Hill Road, Penngrove. Open Monday-Saturday, 8am to 5pm. 707.795.8402.
I don’t know how many animals are tossed into the pile at Colemans, Bud’s is just the one.

What goes into food these days is very scary to me. This has made it easier for me to stick with Cr. I know I was getting sick from eating High Fructose Corn Syrup. I had to get rid of a few nasty things I was doing to my body. First was cigarettes in 1983. I had no problem with that one and never had a relapse. Then came potato chips. That took me longer and I did have relapses, I haven’t had chips in years. The last time I ate them I got a pretty good belly ache. I also had to stop drinking diet Pepsi, I had withdrawals for a few days with that one, headaches, body aches and tiredness. Ice cream came next, cold turkey just stopped buying it. I was getting shortness of breath, green apple quickstep and very bad belly aches. The shortness of breath was the worst part, felt like I couldn’t get a deep breath. Really scared me. M&M’s went at about the same time. Wine, that one was hard and the last to go, about 3 months now. I doubt I will give it up completely. I enjoy it more than any of my other vices. Oh, forgot coffee, I stopped that about 2 months ago. I still get to smell it everyday, the Greek drinks it all day. I am drinking green tea and enjoy it more than I did coffee.

I am officially in the 100′s and feeling mighty happy about it. I don’t know where CR will take me, I am along for the ride. I am enjoying it more everyday and find it easy to do. I am learning size, weight, and calories of my favorite foods. I enjoy the control of it. I am surprised at how much I actually get to eat.

I think everybody should be taught to weigh food when young. Too bad the food industry puts such crap in our food. I was talking to the Greek last night about how lighter people were in the 50′s, before food became a chemical. I intend to eat as close to the original as possible and if I ever want French fries, ice cream, chips or a burger I will make my own. Of course, I don’t see that happening any time soon. I am sure I am still lactose intolerant and don’t eat white potatoes. I do cook the Coleman’s ground beef and have a 3 ounce patty.

On the menu today:
Not much, don’t feel like cooking. I have been munching on fruit today. 2 bananas and 5 cuties, I think that is enough fruit for now. Turkey burger with tomato, wasabi and baked squash for dinner. First I will do the Cron o meter to see how much I can have or need.

This is the bathroom after last night. The plumber is finished the painter is not. I like the color, so now it is up to the Greek to get it painted. How long will the color samples stay? Months is by best guess. If I ask nasty enough (yell, scream, cry) maybe he will get it done sooner, like tonight.
