I gained about 4 pounds in Cancun and starting the first of the year, I started to focus on the Weight Watcher’s Core plan which is based on fruits, veggies, lean meats, whole grains, healthy oils such as olive oil. You can eat as much as you want but you should quit eating before you’re stuffed. It’s a good healthy way to go and I’ve taken off about 6 lbs since Jan 2, getting me back to a slim and trim 251 with only about 65 lbs to lose. Actually, it doesn’t feel like I’m sacrificing much. I’ve also quit drinking alcoholic beverages, so at this juncture, I’m word of wisdom worthy other than coffee in the morning and iced tea sometimes for lunch. I don’t like going in to weight watchers any more, but their online site is great. I was watching the Today show the other day and a lady had gone from about 315 down to 145 doing WW online. I do enjoy the crock pot and have done some good ham and split pea soup, Gigi made a great beef brisket etc.

Oh Doug, I’m glad you’re still trying. I think part of your problem is that you’ve married a woman who’s a good cook. As you’ll remember, as long as you lived at home with me, you were lean and trim. Was it the shortage of food, the non gourmet meals, the absence of “store bought” goodies, pictures of desserts in your lunch sack . . . I think so! No wonder everyone was anxious to move out and provide for themselves!!
Oh, one favorite meal that Jan remembered recently but you failed to mention in your memories, was sweet and sour Spam balls on rice. I know you’re dying to try it again, but I don’t think it qualifies in your WW diet plan.

Actually, sounds kind of good. I do remember that meal. I’ll bet you get it now and then if you end up in an assisted care facility. I had pigs in a blanket the other day over at the Wellington and enjoyed them quite a bit. One of my problems is that there aren’t too many foods I don’t like. I’m not big on pickled veggies, snail, brain, gelatinous raw fish. Other than that, I enjoy most foods.
