Hi Sean,

 RH> So are you listening to him?

 SD> I've lost five pounds in one week already.  I walked 12 miles
 SD> yesterday at work (and that's not doing much).  So, yeah, I'm trying.

That's a very good start! When people tell you to take a hike, you will
do so for your health, as well as work.


 RH> It looks good but I'd make a few tweaks to it to make it even better. A
 RH> good beef stock, home made or store bought, would be better than a
 RH> bullion cube and water. I'd probably use olive oil (second choice
 RH> butter) to saute the onion and pepper a bit, before adding them to the
 RH> soup. Finally, I'd make my serving on the light side as the beans are
 RH> heavy on carbs. By watching the amount of those I've taken in, over the
 RH> past few years, I've not been growing out but reducing my waistline
 RH> instead.

 SD> Most of my problem isn't so much what I eat, it's how much of it I

I'm trying to keep my portions reasonable. Easier said, than done with
some meals.


 SD> eat.  But once I can get my own functioning kitchen again, I'm wanting
 SD> to cook all of my own meals as much as I can.  My work has a great

Having a functioning kitchen helps. We're in the process of buying a
small camper--what "sold" us on the one we're getting, is that it has a
decent sized work area in the kitchen.


 SD> breakroom that lends itself nicely to bringing meals from home.  Plus,
 SD> I have one heck of an appetite.  For me to walk from my office to a
 SD> common area I work in, it's one mile one way in one of the factory
 SD> buildings.  My office is also up a good flight of stairs too.  Every
 SD> day is a real workout for me.  So I figure eating better and getting
 SD> that kind of exercise is good.

Every step helps. Plus a good break room that's condusive to bringing
meals. If you have a decent freezer, you can make several week's worth
of meals over the week end. Makes meal time easy if you can warm up
something home cooked--you know what went into it.


 SD> I do so much walking and have to wear metatarsal safety shoes that I
 SD> went and bought myself a $170 pair of Red Wings work shoes (and these
 SD> are the cheapies).  A side benefit to buying the best pair of shoes
 SD> I've ever owned: I have no more foot, knee, or back pain.  My
 SD> neuropathy acts up but only if I don't stay good on the glucose
 SD> levels.

Soounds good; I've heard of Red Wing shoes but never bought any. I've
got a bit of neuropathy in one foot, from a break 10 years ago that took
a long time to heal. (What didn't help was rebreaking in the same spot 6
months later.) You might want to consider buying another pair of the
shoes so you can alternate days with them.


 SD> This recipe is good, but I'd dump the extra salt as the wooostah sauce
 SD> has enough in it for me.  I might forgo the bacon too (*cry*).

No, keep the bacon--it adds protein. (G)
