The Battle of Midway

The Battle of Midway may have been a turning point in World War II, but for dieters it marks a turning point where you are halfway to your goal and really starting to see results and the end goal.

Although my mathematical midway point was some 5 pounds ago, in my head reaching 200 has been my midway point.  I suppose that is because I don't really know exactly how much weight I want to lose.  Instead I know what size pants I want to fit in and I vaguely recall what I weighed the last time I fit in them.  Regardless, this morning I weighed in at 200.8.  That extra .8 is bugging me because somehow that doesn't seem like 200 to me, so maybe I'm celebrating too early, but tomorrow I should be UNDER 200 and that is cause for separate celebration.

After checking my driver's license yesterday I realized that I now weigh less than I did when I first came to Arizona.  So I weigh less now than I did eight years ago!  Wow that is an accomplishment I am proud of. I am looking to lose another 15-25 pounds and know I can finally do it.

Yesterday I had a great lunch of Morrocan Chicken and Mock Garlic Mashed Potatoes made from cauliflower.  Since I lost 1.2lbs I think it is safe to say that the cauliflower recipe is safe for HCG dieters so I will gladly share it.  I have to tell you, it was delicious and really filling.  So filling I DID NOT FINISH IT.  That's right, the guy who doesn't get the 'I am full signal' from his brain realized he could not eat any more.  I hope everyone enjoys the recipe.  I'd love to hear from anyone that is trying my recipes.  The only recipes I post are my own originals or my adaptations of other recipes to make them HCG diet friendly so I am really anxious for some feedback.
