Day 14

      The weigh-in this morning saw another pound dropped. From 205 14 days ago, to 192 today. I am still struggling a bit with my new eating habits. It is not easy to change lifelong habits. 

     One bright light is the beautiful steak I made last night. I ordered a few small boxes of meat from Neufeld Farms as a result of a band fund raiser for my grandson. In the package was 6 strip loin steaks. Being rather expensive. I researched a good cooking method and did I hit the jackpot! It was probably the best tasting, juiciest, and tender steak I have ever had. I have had steak at the Keg and was never impressed. I have not eaten a lot of steak in my time because I just didn't get what all the hype was about. This steak was a game changer. 

      This morning I had some of their precooked bacon strips with my egg omelet. Now that is good bacon! Because it is very thin and somewhat precooked, it finishes off nicely in the pan along with eggs in the same amount of time as the eggs. It is just the right blend of smokey and salty, and it can be made soggy, like some like, or crispy, the way I like it. 

     I can't wait to try the pork chops and the salmon fillets. Like I said, things are looking up. 

     BTW, there is no "Day 13" so don't bother looking for it. I just ran out of time on Day 13 and it has nothing to do with superstition.
