The End of the Weekend

My mom and stepdad are on their way home. Overall, it was a very good visit. I scanned in some of Mom's old pictures and used my photo software to blow them up and fix some of the old stains and age marks on them. Mom was amazed. She's not much for computers.

The low carb diet is going okay. I found low carb ice cream and cookies that help fight the sweet tooth I have. I'm very accustomed to finishing a meal with something sweet. Old family habit, I guess. Tonight marks the end of the second week on this diet. I started at 235 lbs, ended at 226 lbs at the end of the first week, and comes to 221 lbs as of today. I was aiming for a loss of about 30 lbs and I'm almost half way there.

My guess is different low carb ingredients used instead of those regularly found in that product. For example, low carb pasta uses soy instead of wheat. The end result is similar, but with fewer grams of carbohydrates.

Uhm.... quite interesting... and a good reason why there aren't so many in europe... as I guess there's a moratory on transgenic soy here In Europe... so companies can't use that....
