Today is my New Beginning. Today I began the nine-week Berry Whole Health Plan. I drank lemon juice. I had three oranges for breakfast. (Note: An important part of the plan is to eat slowly and actually taste what you are eating. I found that oranges taste like oranges.) For lunch I had a salad which tasted like salad. I had whole grain pasta with organic tomato sauce for dinner. For exercise I walked my dogs around the block and threw a lot of darts. I am not hungry. I am not happy either. But I am committed to either 1) losing the weight in nine weeks or 2) being the first 57-year-old to play nose guard for the Seattle Slugs.
