Day 220 and 221 - it couldn't last

So, I pretty much knew when I saw the 144 the other day that it couldn't be real. You can't really go from 148 one day to 144 the next, it just isn't possible. What IS possible is the 146 I have kept for two days though. Hopefully that will last thru the next little experiment.

We are beginning a new challenge here at the Tucker household that is going to make counting and recording exact calories SUPREMELY more difficult. In a little burst of peer pressure (and in response to reading this), we made a trip to the produce aisle of the store and picked up some veggies and have planned out the whole weekend's worth of meals (and then some) involving nothing but homemade or whole foods. The days of my 45 calorie bread, I fear, have been quite left behind.

It started innocently enough with a stir fry of steak, peppers and pea pods over brown rice on Friday night, then Saturday I made sourdough bread. Granted, it was from a mix, but it was a start. Then I threw together the ingredients for crockpot beef stew (cooking now, will have for dinner tonight) and fried up some chicken sausage with peppers and onions that we had with some of the sourdough for dinner last night. So far so good.
