Still Going

I'm not sure why I haven't gotten much blogging done. Life has been insanely busy, leaving me scrambling to keep up with food prep and basic life.  I haven't had a whole lot of time to think, never mind write without interruption.

Stepped on the scale today and I was a little surprised to see the scale down.  The last two weeks it hasn't moved hardly at all. Now, I haven't been completely faithful to the 6 week plan, but I have been more strict with myself. I thought I would have seen a bigger loss. Yet, any loss is welcome here. Last week was O week, and I think I had some issues seeing the scale move that week last month. It will be interesting to watch for that trend.

A few new things in the last couple of weeks:

1. We've found some new recipes for salad dressings that we're trying. The Southwestern Ranch is growing on me.  Without a decent dressing, it's really hard to look forward to a salad for a meal.

2.  I tried a really yummy vegetarian chili that we brought to dinner with friends. It was a hit with everyone.

3.  I watched a very thought provoking talk, The Starch Solution, on youtube from Dr. McDougall on the benefits and importance of starch.  So intriguing to learn and think on the science and history of how starch has sustained civilization and even fueled the strongest gladiators of all time.

I'm sure there are more new things I should and could be sharing.  However, life has begun here and I am determined to get into my bible before any fires begin that need putting out.

I have NOT been exercising.  Wonder what it's going to take to get me going again. I feel like I am crashed out after two weeks of solid running.  Likely, it's an excuse, but I'm giving myself some time to rest and recover from a really stressful past couple of weeks.
