Lunchtime! Flo, I´ll have a Cesar´s Salad and a glass of mineral water, please. All this talk about weight is getting to me [swg]. At 6´5", my weight is about 230 lbs., which is too much, given my ongoing heart issues. But with Petra being such an excellent cook, it is impossible to reduce. I just had a word with her on that and asked her not to fill my plate to the brim, add ater to the juices I drink and leave out the butter at all. For those of you who want to reduce - the best diets around are "eth" and "etr", that is "eat only half" of what you used to, and, more important, "eat the right things". I know it takes a lot of will power, but it is possible. Just start by leaving out the following: <ul style="list-style-type:undefined;"> <li>alcoholic beverages</li> <li>sweet soft drinks</li> <li>sweets & candies</li> <li>unsaturated fats - butter, peanut butter</li> <li>hamburger, hot dogs - any kind of "fast" food</li> <li>white bread</li> <li>snacks, like potato chips, the whole range of Mexican snacks</li> <li>all those things marked " calorie reduced", "light" or whatever their deceptive label is.</li> </ul> The trick is to really change the amount and what you are eating and stay with it after you have reached the weight level you want to have. if you go back to old habits, it doesn´t take long before you are back to where you have been. If you can change the habit of having your main meal in the evening, it also helps. Enough of that! No plans for the rest of the day, just relax. My stomach is a little better, but I still feel a slight pain. Might run a train or two on my test loop of track. CUL & have a great one!
