Thirty Pounds Down!

30 pounds down! (25 to go) Wow! that was the hardest five yet. Here's a recap:
  • It took me 1.4 months to lose the first five pounds.
  • It took me 2.1 months to lose the second five pounds.
  • It took me 3.7 months to lose the third five pounds.
  • It took me 3.4 months to lose the fourth five pounds.
  • It took me 3.4 months to lose the fifth five pounds.
  • It took me 4.4 months to lose the sixth five pounds.
My latest scheme is inspired by the film Super Size Me. That film underscored the poor quality of fast food and school lunches, so I ordered a fancy lunch box from Laptop Lunches. I'm practicing some of their recipes, so I'll be ready when Samantha starts going to school for a whole day in September. I'm also reading a book titled The Great American Detox Diet by Alex Jamieson. It's mostly about replacing sugar, meat and additives with organic whole grain and produce.
