Week Sixteen

Although this says week sixteen, I won't be able to give an accurate weigh-in for the sixteenth week. I was camping in Inverness, Florida from Thursday evening until Sunday morning. I didn't take my bullet as we were tent camping, but I should have. We had electricity. I saw a carrier for the bullet and will get that for our next trip. Guess I can always bring the converter. I put on about a pound over the weekend. We were mostly sitting since we were four-wheeling with the Land Rover Club and the trip up took five hours.

Weigh-in

Week Fifteen--160.3 pounds. Week fourteen--161.9 pounds. Beginning weight--188 pounds. One week loss--1.6 pounds. Total loss--27.7 pounds. Average loss per week--1.85 pounds.

Week Sixteen (kind of. Used my weight for one day early since I wasn't near a scale for the next three days.)--158.4 pounds. Week Fifteen weight--160.3 pounds. Beginning weight--188 pounds. One week loss--1.9 pounds. Total loss--29.6 pounds. Average loss per week--1.85 pounds.

Benefits moment:

Pineapples--Just one cup of sweet, refreshing pineapple supplies 76.5% of the daily-recommended amount of manganese--a trace mineral essential for generating energy and antioxidants. Pineapple also contains vitamin C, which supports immunity. Additionally, pineapple soothes digestion and provides anti-inflammatory benefits. Chew on that!

Ripe pineapple will smell sweetly fragrant at its base. Choose fruits that seem heavy for their size. While there is generally no difference in quality between smaller and larger fruits, their density indicates juiciness. Make sure your pineapple is ripe when you purchase it: it will not ripen further after it has been picked.

Made an incredible breakfast from a FB post:

Place 2 sliced apples, 1/4 cup brown sugar, 1 tsp cinnamon, pinch salt in the bottom of the crock pot.
Pour in 2 cups of oatmeal, 2 cups of milk (I used a can of evaporated milk and topped it off with milk and 2 cups water.
Do NOT stir.
Cook overnight for 8 - 9 hours on low.
I started it at about 10:30 pm and turned it off at 5:15 am when we headed off to seminary. It was done. This was delicious and I'm going to do it again. Makes quite a bit of oatmeal. I'd say enough for four or five people. The children enjoyed it and said it was like apple crisp.

Happy healthy eating, back to thinking about exercising, losing weight and becoming healthier.
