Over Three Weeks | There Are Major Improvements | Farmer's Market Tomato Recipe

Well, I am still 168lbs!  I started at 178lbs, but I lost the 10lbs from fasting.  The good news though is I have kept that weight off, I have not gained that weight back.  Now I want to get to 150lbs and will be happy with that.  I don't need to be a skinny chick. I don’t need to be 98lbs again wearing zeros.   I like a little meat on me, but I don't like the threat of diabetes.  I don't like that.  My whole intention is to be healthy.  Die at 80 something, not 40 or 50 something.  

The improvements though are fantastic!  My mind is so much clearer and more focused now.  I love that!  I was getting so tired of saying, "What's the word, you know the word I am looking for."  I was tired of forgetting people’s names, people I even knew for quite some time.  What's the deal with that?  

So, I am pretty confident between the fast and losing the gluten I am making strides with my mental health.  However, I have not lost the weight I desired, I was hoping for at least 1 to 2lbs a week.  That would be fabulous. I am keeping the calories between 1200 - 1800 a day.  I am working out 3 - 5 times a week.  Being a mom, or a good mom per se, I am fairly active with my son.  So, I have decided that I am going to fast once a month for 1 - 2 days for the next two months and see what happens.  It's all an experiment at this point.  

I'm ecstatic about my mind though, I was so tired of being such a dingbat.  It was getting out of control and it's this bad at 40 I "was" do dreading 50 and 60.  Now I am more confident.  

So, anyways a good recipe I made today.
