Seven weeks out and 35 pounds down from surgery weight, 51 pounds down from my highest weight.

I am absolutely giddy and gobsmacked over how this is going so far. When I started, I was wearing size 44 men's cargo pants, and I'm currently in size 42 cargo pants. That said, I can pull those pants off and on without undoing the button or zipper.

I'm focusing on Protein, and I know how expensive that can be when you're having to do something like that.

Last night, I hit my favorite local Korean market, Super H Market, and bought a couple salmon heads for a whopping $.99 a pound. I like to steam them, so the meat is nice and soft.

You just have to be careful taking them out of the pot, because at that point, the head is going to try and fall apart on you. LOL

I added salt, and some sliced fresh ginger, and steamed one of the heads for 20 minutes. It was absolutely yummy. I had somewhere between two and 3 ounces and then let my daughter have the rest. She annihilated what was left.

I'm going to have head number 2 tonight. I will probably add some Chinese chili oil to give it a little bit of a kick.

Congratulations on your weight loss thus far.
