Weight Loss And Lunch At Countryside Restaurant

I have good family genes for a long life but I as I approach my 80th birthday I finally realize I could overcome the good genes with my bad behavior, especially by being way too heavy.  So, I decided to give one of the weight loss drugs a try and my doctor prescribed Zepbound by injection and so far I’m losing four pounds/ week and my clothes are fitting looser.  I’m well pleased with how it’s going and I’m never hungry.  I eat breakfast around 11am and supper around 6pm and I eat whatever I want but I don’t want near as much of it and if I stopped my fermented grape juice intake, my loss would be even greater.

As you may recall, for Christmas, I gave friends Kathy and Cindy five free lunches and for this day we took Cindy (Kathy out of town) to the local Countryside Restaurant for a catfish fix for Cindy and me.  

The catfish meal contains two big filets, 3 small hush puppies and two sides.  Normally I eat one piece of fish and most of the other items but today I had an epiphany.  It dawned on me that the catfish was as good as it was going to get when served for this meal so I opted to only eat the fish and stop when I felt full.  So for my sides, I ordered double slaw as it would be just as good leftover.  This is my meal.

As usual, the fish was moist and melt in your mouth tender – the flakes still had a little sheen to them – and I ended up eating both pieces – absolutely delicious.

Bev opted for “Boneless Pork Chops - Center cut pork chops (two) seasoned and grilled topped with cinnamon apples, served with two sides.”

As with the fish, the chop was cooked perfectly with juice apparent when she sliced it and she enjoyed all of her meal.

Have a great day and thanks for stopping by Almost Heaven South.
