A funny thing happened on my way to being allergy free. . .

So, I've discovered a most interesting byproduct of having to eat well and read labels carefully (actually, more than one, but I have to save stuff to right about later): I'm losing weight. I'm generally a pretty fit guy, but as I have gotten older, I found it harder and harder to keep the pounds off. Now, since most everything I used to really love (and probably still would if given the chance) has a chance to send me into allergic shock, I have found lower calorie substitutes. Very quietly, and without making any other changes, I have lost 7 pounds. That is the light at the end of the tunnel!

The truth is that there are some really good tasting things out there that serve as great alternatives to the other really good tasting things I can't have. It's becoming less miserable every day (though Krispy Kreme doughnuts still break my heart), which is also a good thing. But my energy level and overall health are through the roof!

Still, a well cooked Porterhouse would be really awesome. . .
