I started back walking yesterday. Just finished my second walk today - but since it started snowing I did a 20 minute walk in the house. I'd like to do 20-30 minutes every day since I truly believe that is the best exercise anyone can do at any age. I've really become a couch potato since my dog died; not good. Hopefully I will loose some pounds as well.

Had a cheat day yesterday. Up a pound. Back to a salad for lunch and just had a mid-afternoon sweet fix...chocolate protein drink.

Uhoh...my hair stylist brought back some baklava from Lebanon. And I caved in and ordered some dark chocolate dried cherries. At least they are dark chocolate.

I had my annual Medicare physical on Tuesday, at the urging of my family doctor. The PA who examined me highly recommended that I go on a low carb diet, as those of you have seen me in the last few years know that I really could lose more than a few pounds and inches. So, I began my weight loss quest for real yesterday. I've heard that the results of such diets, when strictly adhered to, are quite remarkable. We shall see. One plus, I found out that gin martinis have 0 carbs, so I can still have my daily happy hours!

The really tough part is I have to give up pasta, bread, chips, etc. High fat foods are allowed, though.

^ Yep, that's what it takes. And of course those are all things that we love.

You have pretty much described my diet.

I don't get the sense you are trying very hard, Deb.

I'm cooking the farro right now in the rice cooker for dinner. I'll let you know how it turns out. It's a healthier alternative to rice.
