Two more come off and the gears shift again

This was gratifying. When you're doing it correctly, you know what the results will be. It would be nice, this week anyway, to get the number down low before the wedding and, of course, to control myself as much as is humanly possible at the wedding.

9:15am

A nice big bowl of Kashi with granola, flax, soy milk and fresh blackberries. Coffee. Gjuice with meds and vites.

10:30am

A nicely toasted half Ezekiel muffin with almond butter (one tablespoon...a serving is two). A Big water.

12:30pm

A most wonderful spicy black bean cheese burger with (from bottom to top) a toasted bialy bottom, warm sautéed artichoke, a thin slice of red onion, the Morningstar Farms product itself, nuked, a slice of Jarlsberg Light, melted, some B&G emerald relish, Heinz Ketchup and the toasted top of the bialy.

Topped off with another Big water.

2:15pm

Another Big water and an orange, which Oliver would not share with me. A quick sniff and he literally turned up his nose at the fruit.

4:30pm

I fed and walked my friend and then came in and had a Black Vanilla Tea with Stevia and a toasted slice of Ezekiel bread with pear preserves, cut in 9 pieces. And a Big water.

7:50pm

Boy's Night Out...one regular slice, one vegetable slice and a Big water.

11:00pm

A 60-calorie natural fruit bar (raspberry).
