First Core Weigh In

I had been stalled.  190.2 for 3 weigh ins.  I wanted to get to that -30 mark, just 0.2 lbs. short and I just couldn't do it!  So last week I decided i would try core.  I noticed that alot of the foods I was eating were core anyway.  As long as i could have a piece of fruit or a popcorn whenever I wanted, I figured I could stick it out.

Turned out I really like polenta!  The first day I made it from scratch, having the mushy cornmeal in a bowl for breakfast and putting the rest in a pan in the fridge for later.  I love cornbread so it figures I would like the polenta and cornmeal mush.  The rest I had with eggs and canadian bacon for breakfast.  Just slice it and fry it in the pan.  Like it with pineapple salsa on top!  Yummy!  I found the premade polenta at World Market, it is more solid than what I made and easier to slice.  I will try making it again from scratch, maybe it needs to be cooked longer or something.  I can also have potatoes for b'fast if i want.  I've been having my potato at dinner, I'm loving baked potatoes or tonite, I had a baked sweet potato.  I'd like to try to make fries with both the regular and sweet potatoes, too. 

Tonite at the meeting, Marie figured out my next 10%.  I said, I think that's a ways away.  Turns out it is 179, which is only a little over 7 lbs.  Doable.  I think maybe I should change my stg to that, I now have it at 175.  That is the lowest I was last time I did lowcarb, in 2005, I think.  Need to check my other journal I kept at the time.
