What is for Dinner this JULY.

I said no. She said most people with your reading are about to die.  The nurse came in and took again it and said it was low normal.

more like creamed vegetables.

I was 250.6 lbs. and now (drum roll please.... ) 237.5 lbs.
That was in one month. Nothing special. Just cut in half what I normally eat.

When Brian went to the store on Tuesday, he planned on buying a frozen turkey breast.  He had to ask where they were and when the guy showed him, Brian noticed they were $7/lb.!!!!!!  His exact words to the guy was, "My wife would kill me if I came home with this."  (I'm surprised he noticed the price but I've been harping on him lately to check out the price of things before he buys them -- I almost died a couple of months ago when he paid $6/lb. for a boneless chuck roast.)  They had fresh turkeys, too, which weren't cheap ($1.89/lb.) but seemed downright reasonable when compared to the turkey breast.
