Jicama Salad Recipe | Simply Recipes

I found this recipe that sounds good and should fit in the HMR diet. I love Jicama and it has hardly any calories. You have to zip it up with something, though. I like it with a dash of lime and a light sprinkle of red pepper. Gives it a nice zing.

Dr. Visit

Went to my regular MD today. I've lost 42 pounds. He was astonished. You should have seen his face. I hadn't been there in a while. He was very happy and excited. He said,"If you knew how hard I have to work to get some people to lose just 2 pounds, you'd know how happy I am about your weight loss."

That made me feel pretty great. He was very encouraging. He is a big believer in HMR and was glad I was doing it. (I went thru a different doctor than my regular MD for HMR, so this was the first he knew about it.)

I left feeling pretty good, but knowing I still have a long way to go.
