It's Sunday. Mark and Lucas have been gone at the fair since Wednesday. Eating has not been too bad since they have been gone. Blaine will usually eat anything I eat and he will eat what Nathan is eating if not. Yesterday I took Nathan to work. Eli had an omlette for breakfast. I had an egg, two thin slices of Kirland lunchmeat ham on an Oroweat thin bun thingy. I had protien drinks twice and I fried me up some halibut for dinner. Oh for lunch I had a tortillia (whole wheat) with four nice size shrimp and my black bean chilli. Eli and I went to Costco all by ourselves. We never go alone but it was good. We brought home a pizza for Nathan and Blaine and two shoulder roasts for Curts to smoke. I buy them and he cooks them and keeps one. I think it is a perfect relationship! Much better than famous Daves.

Today we waited for Nathan to come home from work then Blaine and I took Eli home. He lives in Bremerton and Blaine needed driving practise over there. On our way home we stopped at Fred Meyer and I only spent $5.48. We stopped by the produce stand after that I I spent $29. Today I got Kale, yams, jicima, red and green lettuce, a humungous artichoke, and 3 different kinds of apples. I wasn't going to try an artichoke because the only way I can eat them is to dip them in butter but the lady there told me to dip it in balsalmic and i love balsalmic so I am trying it! The jicima is very juicey and has a lot of fiber and nutrients. It is low in calories and an excellent source of fiber, potassium, iron, calcium, and vitamins C and E. In fact, 1 cup of jicama contains nearly 6 grams of fiber. I peeled and sliced it and am eating it raw.

I weighed myself this morning and I weighed 281.7 lbs. I am having some pulled pork tonight so we will see what that does to the scales in the morning. Gotta go save my artichoke. Bye for now.
