Day One

My starting weight is 223 lbs.   My waist is 47", and my hips are 50".

I created.a cheesy chicken and cauliflower skillet dish for dinner.   Greg and Daniel said they liked it.

Cheesy Chicken with Cauliflower
Cut cauliflower into small flowerettes.   Add 1 cup chicken broth to cauliflower in a skillet.   Saute for 5 to 10 min. til cauliflower is tender.  
Add 4 oz. cream cheese and 2 oz. cheddar cheese.   Stir til melted.   Add cooked chicken meat, 1 t. paprika, 1/2 t. dry mustard and simmer for 5 min.    Serve.

Energy isn't as low as it has been for awhile.

A New Beginning....

I'm going to try to keep track of my efforts to lose weight, my struggles and triumphs, recipes, and other helpful information, as I pursue a low carb lifestyle.  

My struggle is to be happy without grains and beans in abundance.   How can I find delicious substitutes for those things, when can I add them back, how do I incorporate this into my food storage, and how to use all of this while keeping in my budget, are all a constant trial for me.   Maybe as I keep this blog, I will discover the secret for success using a low carb diet.
