Okay, I've been fairly good this week. I did make it to the gym about 4 times and started a weight routine in addition to my swimming. I am a bit sore. According to the scale at the gym today I was 176...but, this isn't the usual gym scale I use (I will see that one tomorrow so I will find out if I really did do good this week).
My niece graduated high school last weekend and her party was yesterday. I did good all but the 1 1/2 Cokes that I had. I know...there was water; but, I just couldn't say no. I don't recall any bread so that at least is a good thing.
Last night I also made some sugar free ice cream. It was sweetened with a bit of honey and liquid Stevia. It turned out quite good. I only ate about 1/4 of a cup. I did make it full fat because I had some cream I had to use up and I only use full fat raw milk (I do get the cream when I want to make butter; but, I've been a little tired lately). I do not feel bad about the fat content because it is from a good source, is loaded with B vitamins since it is from grass fed Jersey cows and carries needed vitamins in our bodies...most people don't realize that a lot of vitamins are fat soluble.
I have been good with my kefir this week; both water and milk. My water grains are not looking quite as well as they should. So, there is a little bit of doctoring going on for them. This leads me to believe that our city has added something else into our drinking water. I'm not happy about that.
I have been good with my sourdough as well. I made some fermented bread and it is taking a little to get used to; but, it is very filling...and dense. Tonight I made a sourdough pizza dough and though it wasn't fully fermented it did have a good little kick to it. Went very well with the breakfast pizza. It wasn't fully gluten free but, it did have a bit less white flour than would normally be used as I had a little bit of my white flour substitute mixture on hand (it can only replace about 1/4 of the flour and still get good "bread" results [I'll have to find my recipe and mix up some more]).
I am a bit tired and have to finish up some laundry. I will let you know at a later time if today's scale is in line with my normal gym scale. I hope so. After two months of only gaining and losing 5 pounds on a consistent basis I am ready for some improvement.
