    I'm working on my step goal, as a way of increasing my daily activity. Making a bigger effort to eat at home.

    I'm attending Vegetarian SummerFest with my step mom this weekend. She and my dad were vegan for many years. Now that he's passed, I think she's not as strict, but still no meat of course. I'm the only one of my siblings who's interested or willing to go with her. I'm re-reading The End of Diabetes by Dr Joel Fuhrman and need to dig out my Eat To Live cookbook...

    cool! i am trying to slowly eat more plant protein.
    reading Mindful eating
    trialed new weight loss app called Noom. not useful for diabetes but strong on pysch. cute app and strangely re- affirming. ( one of the main diabetes educators and I trialed it)

    July update
    1 no wt loss or gain even though ate out 6 times in 6 days. packed lunch on drive days to avoid fast food. out of town 5 days. twice with Dad
    2. salads every day but need to eat better veggies.
    3. Year update: lost only 5 lbs since last year ( gained 4 but i lost them but I dont count them
    4. race was fun and safe.
    5. Mental status: ready to buckle down to lose more weight. Running with 40extra pounds is tough.

    read " SLIM BY DESIGN" more on mindless design of frig and kitchen set up. whole premise is to make more environmental change so eating healthy just cones naturally. a few good tips, lots of reminders of things i used to do.

    now starting " but i deserve a donut" weight loss bible study. focus on boundaries you set and renewing of mind to help with eating healthy.
