life is good. really, really good.

and my measure of how good it is: 4 ounces of apple and alder smoked wild caught north coast salmon from Sea-Pal on the mendicino coast. shhh, don't tell anyone. it's my splurge for the day. we have a killer fresh fruit/veggie market off of pedrick road in dixon. they have just about any fresh or dried fruit or veggie, and they also sell this killer smoked salmon. so, i stopped, bought some brazil nuts, a bag of mixed fried veggies (deep fried green beans are too good to even try to describe), some olives, and SALMON!
just a note: for those who care, i've been on a NO BREAD diet for 4 weeks. i'm dying, but hopefully i'll delay it by losing this small refrigerator's worth of spare weight. it's been mostly fruit and veggie, with hard boiled eggs (that's ok, i like hard boiled eggs) and the occasional chunk of baked/broiled/grilled meat. today, i splurged, but only because the doc told me salmon was ok.
so how much have you lost, fat man? 25 pounds in 4 weeks, that's how much. oh, and that included the holidays.
