Recipes

A lovely friend of mine has sent me a ton of recipes for this diet. If you are looking for some, and don't have any, I will ask Kelly to send them to you. They all seem to need little prep work, and look very tasty. Right now I am eating a lupini and broccoli cold slaw salad with lemon dressing. Lupini beans are very crunchy, almost nutty...so I would recommend them to anyone who does not like mushy beans. Speaking of nutty, I have a nut allergy and can not use the macadamia nut oil recommended by Mr. Feriss. (Heaven forbid I should ever  munch on a nut while at a musical...that would guarantee me anaphylaxis. Yes, I spell checked that word). So I have been doing everything with olive oil. I even bake with olive oil instead of butter. (Say this three times fast: Barbara bought butter because Bear's batter was better a bit). No, my dog doesn't bake! (He does a throw a mean bbq though).

Did an hour walk today, as compared to 2 hours yesterday. But I get what some of you kittens have been saying about lacking energy......I was carrying pizza boxes into the school today and felt like they weighed a ton. How dare you!!! Of course I didn't have a slice!!! I was caught licking the box. Hope you don't have your reading glasses on. But honestly, I can put up with a little fatigue for the next month.....as long as it equals a little less fat!
