I am going to be skipping days since it appears I may be running the
casual reader off... ;-)
My weight this morning is 158.2, which is down .4 in two days and 4.6
pounds overall. Why, you might ask, did I only lose .2 pounds in the
two days since I last updated when I've been very faithful? I found
out something very interesting.
Give me a second here for background. My oldest son is 14 and loves
to cook. I mean he's very serious about it. On Friday night he had
his mother take him to the store and came back with ingredients for
lime-ginger grilled chicken pasta with roasted yellow bell peppers
and two-chocolate mousse. He also hand picked tomatoes, bell
peppers, and jalepenos from his grandparents garden and created an
unbelievable fresh salsa.
So for dinner on Friday I had one chicken breast and what amounted
to, I kid you not, about a pint and a half of the delicious salsa. I
ended up having it like soup. It was limey, fresh tomotoey, garlicky
and almost like a spicy gaspacho. I craved the stuff.
Next morning I expected I'd weight about .8 of a pound less than
Thursday. Instead I'd *gained* .4 pounds. Where did that 1.2 pounds
come from? I am convinced it was a reaction to the nightshades: the
tomato and peppers. My hands were swollen and I had bags under my
eyes. My lower back bothered me and I my general aches and pains
were back. Oh, and flatulence and diarrhea.
That was a discovery.
Ate well yesterday with bacon, eggs in the am and baked chicken for
the rest of the day.
