Good thing I like salad!

This losing weight thing is HARD!!!  Before deciding to actually do something about my weight and modify my diet, I was already not eating wheat due to it giving me stuffed up sinuses.  So, I decided to go back to how my grandparents ate -- food fresh off the farm: lots of lean meats and green veggies.  I completely cut out rice, corn, beans, potatoes, anything starchy and loaded with carbs.  I also cut out my lunchtime Pepsi Throwback.  It's been three weeks of chicken, fish, broccoli, spinach, almonds, mozzarella cheese, eggs, and a bit of old fashioned oatmeal with a handful of dried cranberries for breakfast.  I've lost FIVE pounds.  I was hoping for more, but I'll take being five pounds lighter.  If I can keep this up, five pounds every three weeks, I'll have lost FORTY pounds by my birthday in August.  WOW!  FORTY POUNDS!!!  Now THAT's exciting!
