There's been an awful lot of celery, lettuce, cucumber, and carrots consumed at chez trek the past month or so. And don't let's forget the apples, strawberries, and cantaloupes.
We have been eating so much rabbit food that this morning, when I had an itch behind my right ear, I tried to scratch it with my foot. I've been greeting the wild cottontails as if they were long lost relatives. "Hey, Frank! How are the wife and kids?"
It's all been worth it: Number Guy has lost over twenty pounds! Please leave him a congratulatory comment. He reads the blog and he'll be very much encouraged.
There has been one problem with this whole vegetables as primary victuals, though. I really enjoy baking and it wouldn't be at all right to bake stuff Number Guy can't have and leave it lying around the kitchen. If we had a bake sale scheduled at school or church, it might help. I could bake and take it away and that would scratch the "I need to bake" itch. Of course, then the delicious smell of warm cinnamon or ooey, gooey, melted chocolate would still linger in the air and I shouldn't be leading him into temptation.
Just to get my mind away from daydreams about baked goods, I walked to the library today and I saw this in one of the parking lots along my way.
"I just stood there staring,
because while I've seen a lot of weird things,
I hadn't ever seen that."
Some days I am so thankful my cell phone has a built-in camera.

Congrats, Number Guy!
I had to go add that quote to my goodreads quotes. :)
Great job, Number Guy! 20 lbs is awesome!
Congrats!! My husband and I need to head in that direction as well. Not sure exactly the "format" we are going to try, but less sugar and leaner meats as well as more veggies. The biggest problem is the extra time healthy cooking takes:)
You haven't ever seen that b/c you don't live in the wild West. They make great chandeliers, too. (Tres chic, those.) And legs for end tables.
Well done, NG!
