Friday

At the risk of sounding like a broken record, here we are at Friday having spent the week in a slow weight decline - 147.4 this morning.  Will it hold up over the weekend?  I'd say it looks reasonably promising so far - lunch Saturday is scheduled at the golf course, and I happen to know I can get a green-chile smothered naked burger there that is seriously to die for.  And cottage cheese, making it even better.

And tonight, we are having the pizza thing.  Layers of ground beef/pork with italian spices, mushrooms and black olives, mozzarella, marinara, and pepperoni, repeated and topped with a bit more cheese for good measure.  The ground beef/pork (we went half-and-half) and spices cooking last night had me eating rather a lot - mostly dark chocolate and gruyere.  Surprise.

I actually had 3 meals yesterday; Elizabeth and I had naked burgers at a place near work.  She's still suffering from the dizziness, with a visit to the neurologic ENT guy on Monday.  I hope he can provide some insight; even if it turns out to be something in the auto-immune world, if it can be named, somebody somewhere has dealt with it before and might have some good advice that goes beyond "take meclizine".  And if she needs additional testing at large facilities with more experts, well, she's living in the right place - there's a Mayo branch in Phoenix, somewhere.

Back to the dietary topics: I am still suffering from a bit of digestive upset; cannot imagine what I might have eaten, because we've been keeping it pretty clean.  Standard breakfast; lunch yesterday was a sirloin patty with cheddar, bacon, and guacamole, and some cole slaw (and 3 french fries filched from Elizabeth's plate), and dinner was gyro meat and tzaziki sauce, and a little bit of rice.  I did have a bite-sized piece of biscotti yesterday at some point as well.  I guess I am falling into the "Gluten-severely-restricted January", as opposed to Gluten-free.  Oh, well.
