Still going well.
Raw oysters qualify as paleo
Weight is down to 165 lb compared to 166 a week ago—not a reliable or significant difference. Again, I’m not in this for weight loss, but wouldn’t mind losing another five pounds.
Transgressions? You bet. I was off my usual schedule, being out of town for the funeral of my favorite aunt in Baytown, TX. I had a small praline (pure sugar and pecans), a small tamale (cornmeal), and four oysters breaded with flour and fried in industrial seed oil. I passed on the carrot cake my two dinner mates shared.
Eating paleo at restaurants on the road is fairly easy, especially if supplemented by the nuts and fresh fruit I travel with. We had breakfast at Denny’s in Corsicana, TX, and I was amazed at how many of the menu items incorporated cheese. I loved hearing that Texas, “How ya’ll doin’?”
I’ll not do more weekly recaps until I have something interesting to say. I’m planning to cheat on the diet for 24 hours around Thanksgiving holiday, and at least once I’ll get a pumpkin Blizzard from Dairy Queen. It’s a very thick milk shake.
