SBD check

Went to the gym today. Scale says 266, so down either 6 or 10 pounds, depending on where I count when I started. That's with a big cheat yesterday (lunch with a friend after a tough morning for him ended up including a couple of beers and some zabaglione for dessert, to go with my trout and veg entree). I was hoping for a little more than that, but as long as the rest of this week sees off a fwe more pounds, I'll have managed in the range they suggest for the first phase. Not sure if I want to do one more week of it to see if I can get a bit more fast push, or move on to phase 2, the 1-2 pounds a week trimming part.

In related news, I tried my James Beard fish technique with some flounder the other night, and it failed miserably. I ate the fish, but only because I couldn't bear to have bought it and cooked it not finish it. The texture was nasty and the flavor not very appetizing. Either I need to do something else with flounder or it's just nasty.

Future reference:
1) Flounder poaches nicely, with a little dill/tarragon/lemon juice in the water.
2) If you mess it up, you can throw it in broth with escarole or other veggies for a fish soup and it won't be so bad.
