“The only time to eat diet food is while you’re waiting for the steak to cook.” — Julia Child

OK so here we are on day 2.  Down to 323 this morning so still headed in the right direction.   No walking this morning because of a work call scheduled very early so I will have to walk this evening.  Hopefully it will be below 100.

So more background on me.  I am a foodie.  I love to cook and used to have a catering business.  Not really big on sugary stuff and anything green that was not a jalapeno was probably suspect in my household when I was raising my kids.  But meat….definitely place me on Team Carnivore.  Thankfully my wife has shown me the error of my ways and I am discovering good things about green plants.  My latest discovery is collard greens.  Who knew eating grass could be tasty.  I will share some recipes in the next couple posts but first let me put in a shameless plug for the Instant Pot.  Yes for the first time in my life I fell victim to “Prime Day” and with the dang thing marked down +60%, I could not resist.  It works well so far and we have added some new things to our meal planning because of it.  Like collard greens.  I will never be able to look at cut grass the same way again.  There are so many ways to cook them and each gives you a different taste profile.  I encourage you to grab some and try playing around with them on your own.  You will be surprised.
