Being good and eating right

Teeter and her family have cut out bread and pasta from their diet. There is a really good reason for this, according to Art DeVany (see link on the right side of the page to Art's website). Basically, flour isn't good for you. It ages you and can cause you to get fat. There's more to it than that, but I've decided to get on the bandwagon. Seriously, if you want to lose weight, you can do it by cutting out flour.

Today's lunch:



This doesn't look as good as some of the plates I've seen on Art's webpage, but this is a big improvement over what I usually eat.

I grilled extra fish on the barbeque last night and brought that in for lunch. It's dry, so I have to figure out how to cook it or what to put on it to make it less dry. Not bad, though, because it has a barbeque taste.

What's really good are the green beans. I hope my method of cooking them isn't bad for you.

I put a wok on the stove and put a couple of tablespoons of olive oil in it and added about a tablespoon of chopped garlic, which I stirred for a couple of minutes, and then I added the green beans. While I stir-fried the green beans, I added some soy sauce. Maybe a teaspoon or two.

It came out really good! It kind of offsets the dry salmon.

I also rode my bike to work this morning. I bought a used bike yesterday, a "SR Semi Pro" that was made by a company that no longer makes them, they only make components now. The bike feels like it weighs about 15 lbs, which is really, really cool.



The components are all original Shimano parts. I think it was made back in the early '80's.



It's a road bike and I bought it so that I can go for long rides. Yesterday, I rode from the Huntington Beach pier to my home in Tustin. This coming Saturday, I'm planning to ride to Laguna.

Only mistake I have made so far is the way I sat on the seat for most of the ride yesterday. It killed my butt.
