Results (sort of)

I talked to the doctors assistant this morning and she said that "my cholesterol was ok, but needed some work and my triglycerides were fine"

I thought that was a pretty lame explanation of my blood work. Apparently they are going to mail the report to me.

I have lost 19-20 pounds. That's good.

In the meantime I will keep on keeping on.

Dental Work and waiting...

Yesterday I had some dental work so I didn't eat all day. I took advantage of that and went down to the lab to have my blood drawn. I will know in a few days if my triglycerides have gone down. So, I'm waiting...

Oh, after the blood draw yesterday I did go home and make some deviled eggs. They would be filling and wouldn't require much chewing (teeth hurt).

This morning I tried to eat some Uncle Sam's cereal with blueberries... it took forever to eat since I could only chew on one side of my mouth. I was late to work :)

For lunch I had some tuna with mayo... easy to chew. For a little something sweet, I had some sugar free peanut butter and jam mixed up in a cup... no bread.

Weekend - August 1-2, 2009

This weekend was exciting for me since my wife joined in with me on my sugar free plan. This makes doing this diet more fun since we go at it together.

We enjoyed more felafel and hummus, some spaghetti and on Sunday evening I made a batch of Sloppy Joe.
