That was BEFORE on February 14th at 225 pounds. Nice beach ball under that shirt, no?

Beets - it's what's for dinner
I'm appalled that it took me almost a week to find time for this meal. Last Monday Sam and I went to the farmers' market. Why? Well, first because we could. That's just the kind of law firm we are. And second because it was Meet the Farmers Day and I wanted to support my local food growers.
While there, among other things, I purchased beets. Today I cut them up and had beet greens (like turnip greens, with vinegar & a boiled egg) for dinner. I also made roasted the beets and made a quinoa, feta, beet dish. Both were delicious. I should have taken a picture but it was almost gone before I thought about pictures.
Pretty much finished up reading Wheat Belly. Way too technical for me in some parts, so I just skipped to what I wanted to know about and then on to the chapter on what you CAN eat once you've given up wheat. Interesting. We shall see if we can do it.

199.7
How could I have not posted in February at all?!?! I can't even remember what we did the first 3 weeks. Then we went to Colorado on the 22nd to snowmobile at Grand Lake. We had a terrific weekend with friends - Wayne & Sarah, the McNealys, the Humphreys, the Swarts & Emily and Regis. Great snow. Fun riding. Great to be in the mountains.
The week first week back in SC was great but terrible. I was increasingly sick but managed, with great help, to host a terrific collaborative family practice training. Then I spent the weekend on the couch trying to recover.
Unfortunately my mother also had a terrible weekend and by Monday was in the hospital with pneumonia. I wasn't able to go see her until late Wednesday. So thankful for my brother and sister, who took care of things with her. Hopefully this weekend she will be well enough to discharge to rehab.
I've tried to take care of myself and to be gentle with myself through all this, but I'm feeling pretty rough right now.
Why 199.7? Alan's weight, on the Wii, this morning. His goal is 185, but I am celebrating 199 because I have begged him for years to get under 200. He has lost 18-25 lbs so far, depending on whose scale you use.
