Trimmer55's Journal, 03 July 2016

Still working on how to maintain and to really understand what is my window of fluctuation of weight. This is so dependent on eating and weather and building muscle, so the tracking is like tracking a hummingbird.
This morning I am down 1 pound. I have been getting back into my regular foodstuffs after having a lot of champagne, chocolates and wedding cake over the last week. I didn't overeat this, but the sweets and carbs make my body act differently. I am hungry, but when I eat something like this it doesn't satisfy and it is not as enjoyable as when nibbles of these treats come farther and inbetween.
My usual treat is yoghurt and soft serve vanilla ice cream, not chocolate.
...and salad, which is growing plentiful in my garden right now. Arugula and kale and romaine. My staple salad is 80% mixed greens dashed with rice vinegar, then add a few nuts, dried cranberries, fresh strawberries or raisins and some goat cheese, feta, chevre or other. You could add cooked chicken, but most times I eat this without. I add a little vinaigrette if it calls for it.
For everyone who doesn't have access to fresh greens, know that romaine is sturdy affordable, as is kale and cabbage. These are my staples (store bought) in the winter months. EAT MORE KALE!
143.5 lb Lost so far: 41.5 lb.    Still to go: 0 lb.    Diet followed reasonably well.

I have tried to like kale. I really have. But it is not something I will ever love. Fortunately, I have a food dehydrator, and am able to make powder from dried kale. 1 lb. of fresh dries and powders down to about 1/2 cup, so 1 tbs. is the equivalent of 2-3 big leaves. I can add it to pretty much anything, and get the nutrition without the taste. I call it "stealth health". :)
