Week Nineteen

I'm pleased with my weight loss. Each week has brought it's own ups and downs. I'm still not exercising, so can't complain about the slow process, but I've heard slow loss is better than fast losses. I've hung around the upper 150's for the past few weeks and should take that as an indication I need to change some things. I'm still drinking, most days, two Nutriblasts and eating small meals in between. I'm accustomed to eating something every 2 - 3 hours. I try to replace some of those with a glass of water. I read an article that said sometimes the need for water is mistaken for a need for food. So I drink first, eat second.

The garden is pretty much done, except for the herbs and flowers. I'm going to check around and see if there are some squashes that can be grown. It's too hot at night for tomatoes to set, so the plant will grow, but no fruit. :(

Benefits moments:

Plums--Juicy summer season plums offer significant antioxidant protectioin with their high quantities of phenols and vitamin C--the latter of which also assists your body in iron absorption!

The best plums are deeply colored and often covered with a whitish "wax bloom." Look for fruits that are free of bruises and punctures, and yield to gentle pressure. They will be slightly softer at the tip when ripe. Ripe plums can be refrigerated for a few days until they are ready to be eaten.
