Another day, another weigh-in, and my weight hasn't changed. I'm thinking that that's a good thing, given the quantity of nuts I ate last night - it had to be around a half pound - I was expecting a weight gain. I guess I'm in a zone, and it's pretty comfortable.

Diet Comment

Losing a kilo is good, too. This is a weight I'm very happy at. Might make a new goal for five more pounds, but I'm just thinking about it at this point. Meanwhile, I was shopping and was enticed by a big bag of tortilla chips made from cauliflower, which I ate at both today's meals. If that ups my weight, I won't buy it again, but if not, they're very good-tasting.

Food Log

Breakfast
3:15pm: Scrambled eggs and cauliflower tortilla chips.

Lunch

Diet Comment

From a diet/medical point of view, it was a pretty disastrous day. I went to the open mic at the Maplewood, and didn't have a real good time, then got depressed talking with Debbie about not playing with the Jimi Marley Project any more. So I went home, got stoned, and ate and ate and ate, very high-calorie and sugary from the dried mangoes.
