Losing 0.1 kg a Week
28 May 2023
Life is a little chaotic on the family front (parents). Will be visiting and making some big decisions. Eating is steady and on plan; habits in shopping, cooking, and meal prep long established. Have not been able to make it to Pilates, but steps have increased quite a bit as I can fit them in whenever (walking is also my stress relief). Pilates class requires socializing, which I wasn't in the headspace for. Going to yoga on Tuesday and Thursday this week to force myself to tune out the world and meditate while still getting easy workouts and stretching.
Namaste.🧘🏻🧘🏽🧘🏿

NSV from the diet (WFPB/Vegan): I no longer suffer from an allergy! The hedge below smells like black licorice and would require tissues shoved up my nostrils like dragon's breath for 2 weeks.😤 Now I can walk by without sinuses going berserk.😊
Second photo is the local Farmer's Market that I hit every weekend. It's about a 25 minute walk (with the formerly allergy-inducing hedge everywhere), and a way to add steps and work my shoulders carrying the food loot back home. It is also a typical "May Gray" day for Southern California, and you can see the sky touching the gray ocean just 2 blocks away.

Friday was Annual Physical Day 💓⚕️👩🏻⚕️
Opened up a vein & surrendered to the doctors:
Age: 52
Height: 5'5"/1.65m
No Medications
No Supplements, pills, powders, shakes, bars
Diet: Whole Foods Plant Based/Vegan
APRIL 2023
Total Cholesterol: 160
Triglycerides: 90
LDL: 84
HDL: 58
Ratio: 2.75
Weight: 123.4 lbs./55.8kg
BMI%: 20.5
BP: 90/60
A1C: 4.8
PREVIOUS RESULTS--MARCH 2022
Total Cholesterol: 206
Triglycerides: 124
LDL: 130
HDL: 51
Ratio: 4.0
Weight: 128 lbs./58kg
BMI%: 21.3
BP: 88/62
A1C: 4.9
Prior Diet/Old WOE: Vegetarian, supplemented with a multivitamin, no medications.
So I didn't hit my goals of LDL=70 and HDL=60, but I got pretty close. Because I only lost about 5 pounds, I chalk up the results to change of diet and increased exercise.
My diet starts with single-ingredient food, everything raw or cooked from scratch. The only processed items consumed are those that I cannot make at home: oils, vinegars, some condiments like mustard and teriyaki sauce. Minimally processed items include coffee beans and dried beans-legumes-grains. Otherwise, if it has a barcode, I don't buy it. Restrictive? I guess if you are addicted to chips and cookies and drive-thru food, it's limited. Personally, I love cooking and experimenting with new ingredients from the produce section, so it's been the best thing ever!
Happy Sunday, Everyone!💚- 🍌🍌

Losing 0.1 kg a Week
23 April 2023
Annual physical coming up this week, and it's also officially 1 year of switching over to a Whole Foods/Plant Based (WFPB) diet. I'm only down about 5 pounds since March 2022 when I had my starting-point labs taken, so any significant changes will be due to diet rather than weight loss. I'm especially curious as to how my micronutrients** will show, as I ditched all vitamin pills/supplements in favor of using real food to meet my needs.
At the Farmer's Market yesterday, GF picked out the weekly experimental ingredient: dandelion greens. This is a bitter leaf, guys. It looks spiky-cool in a garden salad, and I tossed it with almonds, white wine vinegar and orange sections to give a sweet citrus note. Better, however, was braising it in vegetable broth and sliced garlic, draining, then topping it with white beans, red pepper flakes and a squeeze of lemon.
TRICKS & TIPS: For anyone looking to step into a less processed, plant-based diet, I highly recommend just adding one new fruit, veggie or grain to a favorite meal. Instead of bread with soup, use barley. Instead of white rice as your side starch, try quinoa. Swap croutons on your salad for raw sunflower seeds or pepitas. If you don't like a veggie raw, try it roasted in the oven or stirfried. I buy enough of a new vegetable to try it multiple ways.

Happy new week, everyone!😊💚 -🍌🍌
