Day 148 (213 lbs, minus approx 85)


Hi everyone,

Things are going very well. I continue my workouts under MGH supervision. I still have not joined a gym because I can't seem to make up my mind. I've been putting in long hours at work but still get my walks in.

Cheryl graduates a week from today...so that is exciting.

My diet is going ok. I am trying to find new ways to eat more veggies and such. Last week I improvised a garbanzo bean burger...i posted the recipe here on my epicurious page. http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/member/views/GARBANZO-BURGER-50033068. I kinda just made it up on the fly, so I will probably refine it after a few more attempts.
I made cheryl's like a patty melt and put it on rye bread...i ate mine w/out bread since I can't do too much bread yet.

I had a friend come to town this past weekend and it was great to trek around Boston and not get immediately tired. We did a fair amount of walking and I kept up and did not need to huff and puff. As a matter of fact, I enjoyed it. In the past, I would have been happy to find a restaurant table and pray that we stayed there for several hours, I was actually anxious to get back into the city and explore. So that's nice.
