I would like to pass some stuff on to someone who can use it. If I can find a friend who would like these things, I’d like to pass it on to someone I know. Otherwise I will probably sell it on ebay or something for a small amount. Cell phone: Motorola T720 for use with Verizon. Call Verizon and give them the ID number, or give to a family member you want to add to your plan. Or keep it as a spare. Includes an extra charger.

Picture 1 - Picture 2 Yes, this offer is open to anyone on my friends list… just tell me they are going to a good home. If you live near me, pick it up, otherwise I’ll let you know how much it costs to ship and you can send it to me on Paypal.

Eggs, bacon, sausage. Taco bell fiesta taco salad with no shell, no sour cream, no tortilla-chip-strips, though I did have most of the beans. A few broccoli pieces and ranch dip. Dinner: ground beef, polish sausage, broccoli, mayo, soy sauce, arrugula, boiled eggs, bacon bits, alfalfa sprouts, home-made vinaigrette (olive oil, red vinegar, dijon mustard, salt, garlic). Weight for the week has been the same Monday and today: about 255. I was surprised to find myself about 255, I would have guessed I was 265-272. I have not had any exercise but I will probably start again with the walking pretty soon.

I just had Chinese for lunch. Truthfully, I don’t really know how much carbs I just had. Thursday March 17 Lunch: Chinese take-away was served for a going-away party for someone. I had about two plates of food, mostly meats with light sauce such as mongolian beef (just the beef), cashew chicken (just the chicken and water chestnusts) shrimp with vegetables (just the shrimp) and a lot of tofu. I avoided rice and anything with heavy sauces. I also had about 8 pieces of broccoli with ranch dip. ...

I’m going to try and record everything I eat for the next 30 days, whether I am able to stay on the low-carb plan or not. I don’t expect anyone to read the entries. But, if you happen to notice that I’m counting carbs wrong, OK to let me know :) Monday 3/14 I wanted to use a one-day fast to start things off, but M wanted to have sushi, so we went to Tokyo Sushi. I had: salmon sushi and Phillidelphia rolls without the rice (salmon, small amount of cream cheese), soy sauce, miso soup, small salad with a sweetish vinegar dressing, mussels, and soybeans. The mussels had some sort of dressing on it that was mayo-like… I scraped most of it off and squeezed on lemon juice. ...

I have decided to try eating very few carbs for the next week or three, to see what happens. In the past I have been skeptical of the low-carb (or no-carb) diets, mostly because I feel it should be possible to eat a “balanced” diet, in moderation, and be well, live happy. I have a feeling that the low-carb craze is a direct result of the “low fat” craze that has been omnipresent in this country & culture for some decades. We have become so used to “low fat” items and have traded carbs for fats. Now, the pendulum swings the other way and “low carb” is the craze, but neither of these appeals to my inner sense of symmetry. ...
