Five months on CR
Five months on CR and I am 50 pounds lighter and happier. Today I was talking with the Greek about how both of use feel so much better, we can get hungry and not get the shakes, we can go longer between meals, we feel better and don’t crave what we both know we shouldn’t have. We can actually look at all the nasty food and don’t feel deprived.
We are making plans to do things and go places. Something we hadn’t done in a few years. We are enjoying going out again. I had no clue why we were staying home all the time. Now, I know why, we looked awful and felt worse. CR is here to stay for both of us.
Five months ago I had never cooked fish. Now I actually look forward to it. We have fish several times a week and really do enjoy it. We had red meat a few days ago and I didn’t feel so good afterwards and didn’t enjoy it all that much. It was a NY steak from Whole Foods. It was just OK. We eat chicken most days. I am careful to cook only 2 breast halves. Anymore and it might get eaten, we do still have to weigh our intake of protein.
I should be better with the Cron O Meter, I am not using it everyday as I should. It is such a great tool. I promise myself I will get back on track with it. It is not easy keeping a calorie count in my head even though I try to do it right. I also like to know how much protein and nutrients I am getting, so back to Cron o Meter everyday.
Our big kitty is improving every day. He is on a heart medication and it seems to be helping him. He goes in for oral surgery next Friday. Poor guy. We have discovered he still enjoys a car ride. He sits in my lap and watches cars and people. We stopped taking him for car rides a few years ago. Guess we need to take him along more often.
