One hundred eighty nine point eight. That is how much I weighed yesterday morning. I was ecstatic. I had set a goal to weigh less than one hundred and ninety pounds and I had finally done it. For several months my weight was hovering around one hundred and ninety six pounds, or so. I was eating correctly. Vegan mostly. Maybe eating too much vegan though. My blood samples all showed I was doing the best I could. My numbers were terrific. In fact, I was eating so healthily that I was able to eliminate a few medications from my plan. Just the same I was having a problem losing weight.
During this period of concern about my weight I discovered, through reading and the help from a dear pal, Arlene, that perhaps my metabolism was shot. Arlene and I had been downing green smoothies each day. She regularly; me not so much. I may have been drinking one or two a week. What I found out by shear accident was that the smoothies contained a powerful agent that wakes up the metabolism that we had in our youth. Chia seeds along with flax seeds contain the magic wand to weight loss or the ability to burn fat cells that lurk around our middle.
One hundred eighty nine point eight. I’ll take it, and then some.
