Diet Coaches/Buddies - Exercise was chase the (4 yo) DGD day, CREDIT moi. Once again, the Boston Museum of Science made itself an extraordinary adventure. She absorbed full-time one-on-one activity with a docent with a stack of bones to be assembled into an ape - a tough job for a little kid to recognize a leg bone from an arm bone. With patience, she was led to do it. Even figured out which end of the backbone went to the skull and which to the pelvis. I just couldn't believe the concentration. Then, once assembled, interest evaporated and off to the next thing.
Evening entertainment was members night at the Harvard Museum of Natural History where we were led down three flights of stairs to the bowels where graduate students are kept hidden with the dried herbs. We were fed top-shelf open faced sandwiches. I made dinner out of a couple of thinly sliced roast beef wrapped around a scallion - a good combo. Fortunately, we had to leave for our tour before I ate all the cookies laid out.
Joy (gardenerjoy) - Yay for surviving any restaurant experience.
maryann - Ouch for the glitches in life that challenge us. Kudos for staying in the game. At the herbarium, one of the chosen displays was their 1897 example of Juglans regia, which I call the walnut but apparently also is called: the Persian walnut, English walnut, Carpathian walnut, Madeira walnut, or especially in Great Britain, common walnut. It's been around for a while. Is that what you grow?
Karen (karenrn) - Smart to realize that you can't allow yourself to get hungry.
curlyjax - Waving. Hope you are in gentle recovery.
Penny. - Good grief! You're nailing the fiber game. Just looked it up: The American Heart Association recommends a minimum of 25-30 grams a day. Two avocados sounds like a luxury.

day 36 Deal with a Plateau
Today, I'm not talking about short-lived plateaus. I'm talking about more lengthy plateaus that span a few weeks or longer. The most likely explanation for these plateaus is that your body no longer needs as much energy (caloris) as you've been taking in.
