Peppered cod, spinach with garlic chunks and cauliflower rice. Small plate. Yum.

Determination and patience are essential to achieving what we want to achieve. I am 56, the past few weeks have been challenging however I have continued to eat less than 2000 calories per day, eat healthier and exercise when possible. Today the number was the lowest since we began on January 1. Keep going everyone.

I resisted the temptation of a brownie sundae Monday night and of tons of baked goods this morning. This has been a tough week but I have my eye on the prize...which is better health. Also found out today I have extremely high cortisol and very low progesterone which both have symptoms of making it really hard to lose weight so I'm hopeful now that I'll be on medicine for both. Despite it being hard I'm still slowly losing. For me it's little wins at a time...and non scale victories. Also I got a new haircut!!

Simple to make. Beef broth with steamed vegetables and boiled potatoes. Very low calories per bowel.

That significant weight loss two weeks ago was a 3 day fasting plan. Just shows you that the only sensible approach is steady and patient. These past two weeks of fluctuations have not been easy however I kept believing that weight loss was going to happen and seems like I am back on the road to sensible and steady.

Cauliflower mash with grated cheese, plant-based chili stir fry. Small sized plate.
