How I'm doing ... it's still a few weeks until my next doctor visit, so no numbers except from my scales. Weight loss is still stalled; I'm still fluctuating around in that same band between (roughly) 350 and 370. Last week was 358, this week 368, next week probably somewhere between those.
I've been doing a lot better about the sloppy little off-diet extras, I'm back off caffeine and artificial sweeteners, I've managed to get rid of my peanut butter jar, and I have been especially good about not choosing potentially-oily vegetable foods in public settings. So, I'm feeling very good about my food choices and overall health, and fully expect to see my good blood lipids numbers returning at the next check.
My two remaining food issues are volume eating (especially in the evenings) and room for improvement in my dietary balance (I'd be better off with more produce and fewer starches). That last one is complicated by my economic situation (being very broke). When I don't have $300 in my pocket to make the long drive to the warehouse stores every couple of weeks, I end up shopping in local stores where there's less diversity of fruits and vegetables, and they are both less fresh and more expensive. So I wind up eating more beans and rice and potatoes and less fruits and vegetables.
Bah, everybody has problems. But I'm doing so much better than I was two years ago at this time, it's hard to get discouraged.
