I’m just following the requirements set forth by DW and enjoying it. 😳 I can tell you, the first 2-weeks were literally no bad carbs at all. Basically, all of our carbs came from tasty veggies during that initial 2-week period. As a result, I lost -5% of my weight. In the next phase, I could reintroduce a “bad” carb and track how my body adjusted. For me, I chose fruit, i.e. sugar. Over 2-weeks, I lost another 1%. Last week (week #5), I introduced another “bad” carb and tracked my progress. For me, I reintroduced root vegetables (sugar and starch) and lost another 2lbs. which was -0.8%. As my friend JP can tell you, I’ve also started adding alcohol back into my diet. Slowly. Which, of course, totally disappointed him. In week #5 I had two 4-ounce glasses of wine. And, I cut my tonic (Elderflower) with TopoChico (half-and-half) in my G&T. Of course, that was quite sacrilegious to our mutual friend, JP. But, after being alcohol free for a month, I found it quite tasty! 😁🤪😂 So, here I am in week #6 and DW & I checked into the Ritz Carlton (Bachelor Gulch) tonight (which Ms. Spins knows) as we prepare to snow ski with, and entertain, a client tomorrow. I didn’t have a single bad carb all day, so at tonight’s dinner I enjoyed a glass of champagne and Sancerre. After dinner found us in the hotel’s living room (see pic and imagine more than half of the furniture removed) enjoying a live guitarist singing famous tunes from the ‘60s and ‘70s while I sipped a 12-year old Irish whiskey (Redbreast) while wearing masks and safely socially distanced from fellow hotel guests. I’ll let you know if I screwed anything up when weigh in day occurs on Monday. 🤞 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Host Jazzbeau Posted February 25, 2021 #9053 Share Posted February 25, 2021 I hope no one will mind that I mention another cruise line here. Noble Caledonia is a quirky British line that sails three of the first-generation Renaissance ships [from a decade before the famous 'R-ships' of Azamara and Oceania fame] and an even older converted ferry named Serenissima. While everyone's land-bound, they have created a section of their website called The Travel Post, and one regular feature is a reminiscence by Cruise Director Neil Horrocks of his experiences over the years. Each weekly update starts with the highlight of his lockdown life, and this week's had a line that made me laugh out loud. Speaking of a daring attempt [did I mention he is a bachelor?] to rise above frozen pancakes and use a batter-in-a-box, he slipped this in: "I have a smoke alarm in the kitchen which doubles as my timer." If you find that funny, as I did, you might like to read more of Neil's blog: https://www.noble-caledonia.co.uk/the-travel-post/cruise-director-s-corner/ There are also terrific columns by the onboard lecturers and the expedition leaders (and recipes from the executive chef). So warning: The Travel Post is a rabbit warren from which you may not emerge until it's time for next week's update! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Amen all of our desires for different tastes. Our problem is we like almost all tastes! And, as a result, those tastes have really added the pounds over the years. But, a little over five weeks to cutting wheat and bad carbs from our diet, we're taking those pounds off now, slow and steady. Minor details about those pesky carbs. Right? Great success by Stumblefoot with the significant weight loss. Congratulations!! "TASTES" can be the challenge. I like the good and varied tastes connected with pasta and other excellent foods. That's the difficulty. Fortunately, I am little taller at 6' 2", hiding a little of the middle-body spread. Maybe? Especially during this Covid-19 shut-down period, it is not easy fighting those weight battles versus enjoying the tasty treats. THANKS! Enjoy!
