ifox, you sound absolutely brilliant, right up to the point where you start eating tofu in any form. Blech! But I am going to strart right in on that red wine. Actually I am enjoying oatmeal for breakfast right now. The strawberries would be great! I tossed dried cherries in, topped it with a pinch of brown sugar and some of Bruce's granola. Then--and here's where I ruin things--I splosh whole milk over it all! Well, it was selling for 99 cents a gallon and I couldn't help myself.
I know that one missing piece for me is exercise. I just don't get enough. I am thinking of quitting Curves, because I don't go often enough to make it worthwhile. I could get a decent bike and ride to work a few times a week and probably get the same benefit of what I'm doing now.

I'm telling you, you would eat my Shake 'n' Bake tofu! I feed it to unsuspecting houseguests all the time and they ask me "what kind of crackers/bread is this, it's so tasty." Bwhaahahahah, it's TOFU, unbeliever!
Also, I think the whole milk is fine, it's the sugar and granola that I would skip. Oh, that's right, I mostly skip the oatmeal. Maybe it's not that my life will actually be long, it will just SEEM long!
I did Curves briefly, but for me it's worth working more often, and working out harder, so I can eat more. I just run, or walk, because I can do it anywhere, any time, with no equipment or membership. I put a white board on my fridge and log every mile I cover on foot, aiming for 30 per week (roughly a pound of fat, right?). That's ambitious, and sometimes I don't make it, but the weeks I get to 30 I let myself eat pizza... or a big fruit bialy... or... man, I am SO hungry!

I would try your dehydrated tofu just to be polite. But I'm bad. When my husband and I got married, my three daughters (little girls then) and I moved into his house. Bruce is a vegetarian (I wish I'd known him in his scotch and sirloin days, but he says I wouldn't have liked him then what with all the drunkenness). So anyway, one of the first things the girls did when we moved in, while I pretended not to notice, was to hide all his tofu cookbooks. I think we only confessed last year.
B is not home this evening, so I am making chicken and rice. I seared boneless skinless chicken breast in a little avocado oil (and butter when you weren't looking) then dumped in some salsa I made and canned last summer. I added some dried chiles and it's simmering now. Rice, too. Not brown, I'm afraid. I can't get that to taste like anything but paste. I'll have grapefruit and some leftover green beans. If that's not healthy enough then I haven't got a chance.
