Healthy Veggie Losing Weight: July 2006

Progress Report

Since November 2005, I have lost 20.8 lbs. My BMI is now 25.59. That is still overweight, but a healthy BMI of 25 or less is in site.

I continue to learn to deal with the challenges that eating at others presents (I always cook healthy foods, but many of the people I am friendly do not). Eating beforehand, if possible, helps. Holidays at others are the most challenging, naturally. Fortunately, in the summer there are no feast days, only 2 fast days.

I can walk long distances much more easily than when I started, though finding the time and weather to walk is not aways easy. Still, I continue to improve and I will not give up!

Veggie Subs

Orlando sub rolls or Long loaf of crusty French bread cut in 6 inch sections

Veggies such as:
Salad mix
Onions, sliced
Green peppers, sliced
Hot banana pepper rings
Tomato, sliced
English Cucumber, sliced

If the bread is not sliced open, do so. Lay your chosen veggies in layers in the roll. Top with a small amount of fat free dressing of your choice. Eat.

Not core, but the Orlando rolls were 3 points each.
