I spent a few days helping my cousin cook for a combine crew in wheat country. Wonderful group of young men. They were so appreciative. I had to resist all kinds of food temptations. I ended up eating a lot of green salad with cut up chicken. Not my favorite thing but it kept me going. I was able to walk out on country roads, where I must say, I encountered the nicest drivers I've ever seen. Far cry from the drivers in Portland. There were hundreds of windmills in the area. At night they all have a red light and they blink on and off in unison. It was an awesome sight, and at the same time very eerie...like beacon for the mother ship eerie! I was hoping for a bit more of a weight loss but will take any loss over a gain.

214.6 lb Lost so far: 17.4 lb.    Still to go: 49.6 lb.    Diet followed 100%.
