Down 6 pounds! (& Lunar Eclipse photos)

Several of us woke up early in the morning of October 8th to view the Lunar Eclipse.  I tried my 500mm lens but it was too dark outside to locate the moon.  So I switched to my 300mm.  My sister told me that she had put the 2X lens on her 200mm; I wish I'd thought of that the night before.

I am not disappointed, I think the photos turned out beautifully!  It is amazing how the shadow of the earth turns the moon red.  Some of the camera exposures did not show the red as well.  I chose to share with you the exposures that turned out with the most amount of red.

I took this last photo and I cropped it so that it appears closer.  I had the camera on the tripod but between the slight wind, the act of pushing the button, and the movement of the moon there is a fuzz around the edge. Despite that it is so awesome.

As of the morning of 10/9 I am down 6 pounds in 10 days.  It goes nothing, drop, nothing, drop but as long as it is going down.  My blood sugars are starting to drop a little bit.


Breakfast was my BLT on Ezekiel bread.  I followed that with a snack of Macadamia nuts. Lunch was a meal that was new so I took a photo of it.  It was a salad loaded with vegetables and a baked cinnamon apple on the side.  I have been craving dairy so I took a pinch of parmesan cheese to top off the salad.

The afternoon snack was a smoothie with a banana and protein powder.  I was burping banana all afternoon. That has never happened before.  Supper was a turkey burger with sautéed vegetables. It sounds like so much food but it is working.  I am dropping weight. 


My target level of carbs is 4-5 servings.  The out of the box 14 days of supercharged meal plan targets 7-8.  I have been feeling more tired so I made a decision to cut those carbs back to at least 5-6 for the last several days.
