yeah still on the plateau but I'm HAPPY about it. I had to bump up the insulin and this time I DIDN'T gain weight so yeah.

Exercise news. The local YMCA got a million dollars. They're expanding and putting in a pool. PLEASE be an indoor pool. Maybe i'll get a place to go exercise.

Wonders how much energy I burned weeding. Surely that HAS to count for something. I was sweating enough.

Anyone else have anything they want to share here? Feel free.

Let's try a South Beach diet recipe that really isn't cooking. Just chopping for the cooking impaired.



South Beach Chopped Salad with Tuna

Salad

1 can (@6 ounces) tuna (or you can mix it up a bit with the flavored tuna envelops like hickory smoked)
1/3 cup chopped cucumber
1/3 cup chopped tomato
1/3 cup chopped avocado
1/3 cup chopped celery
1/3 cup chopped radishes
1 cup chopped romaine lettuce

Dressing:
4 tsps extra virgin olive oil
2 tbs fresh lime juice
2 cloves garlic finely chopped
½ tsp black pepper

Layer the salad ingredients in a bowl. Mix dressing ingredients and drizzle over salad.
