Getting the Lard Off Progress Report – August 3, 2016

In another 2 weeks I will have been eating low carb and exercising for one year.

I’ve lost 46 lbs and 22″.

I’ve run into a hurdle, in that my body is having trouble fully processing fat. I had my gallbladder out several years ago and apparently that adds a challenge. I researched it on the net and found a pill duo that seems to be solving the problem!

I just got an Instant Pot

a 5 quart pressure cooker. It’s supposed to save 70% of cooking time. I’m interested in anything that helps me cook nice meals without staying in the kitchen a lot. I’ll report to you if I find some good low carb recipes in the book I got to go with it.

We cooked burgers on the grill last night. I had a burger, salad, black olives, and green olives while my husband enjoyed a bun, potato salad, cole slaw, beans and some of my salad. Delicious, and low carb!

It would be nice if I could reach 50 lbs off by the time I see my doctor for my quarterly blood test, but if I don’t, I’ll get there in whatever time it takes. The ultimate goal is another 25 pounds off from where I am now. That would put me at a healthy weight for my height. (Hopefully, I’ll quick shrinking or my ‘ultimate’ will have to increase…)

Meanwhile, even with the awful heat and humidity we’re having, my energy level is better than it’s been for years. I feel good and am dreaming of art projects I want to try. :0)
