An unintended consequence of honoring the quarantine is that a number of items in my closet have now shrunk due to non use...well, that's my story anyway and I'm sticking to it

So, I thought that I would check out Keto dieting

Wow...are you kidding me??? They sent me a 250 page cook book....not a single recipe in it, just page after page listing all the stuff I like that is a 'no-no'...and the substitutes for them (the majority of which I really don't care for)

I like to cook, but I really don't want to spend my life going to various grocery stores to find the ingredients specified in their recipes and then devote the better part of every day preparing/cooking stuff in tiny portions like you'd expect to see at some upscale bistro in Paris along the Seine...especially since I absolutely know that none of it is going to really satisfying me. All I could think of while going through that Keto recipe book was that old burger TV commercial with the old lady asking "Where's the beef?'...although I was saying 'where's the bread?'

I'm still not thrilled about going back to the gym yet

So, I've resigned to taking smaller portions and walking more often, less I end up having to pay online foreign transaction fees because the only place that I can find my size is at "Abdu the Tent Maker's"

Weight Watcher's used to work for me. Having a non judgmental buddy that you'll never see again going through dieting makes it easier. I've lost over 100 lbs. with them (okay, okay it's the same 15 that keep coming back, but still)

I thank my lucky stars and count my blessing that my wife and I have decided upon cremation. Coffins may come in different finishes, but I think they only come in 'one size fits all'...and who wants to burden your loved ones with having to pay to super size it when they're going through the grieving process

Well thanks for listening...I feel better already and have committed to go with smaller portions at breakfast, lunch and dinner.

all bets are off though if Belk comes out with a sale....just saying
To Keto or not to Keto, that is the question. Whether tis better in the mind's of men to consume bread or be admired for the waistline?
