Weight Loss

My parents (80+) had a hand-"rotated" (?) coffee grinder that they had gotten from their grand parents.
I thought you were milling your grains with (a more modern version of) something like that.

Those still exist! Lehman’s has a bunch of those. There are electrified versions too. They can be surprisingly expensive!

I just started this journey. I wasn’t sure I’d like it. I didn’t want to drop hundreds of dollars on what might become shelf art in the basement. $37 was in the play money budget incase I hated doing it. When this wears out, I don’t think I’ll get an impact grinder like I have now, but I’ll get something better quality.

The trade off with the eventual upgrade will be a more involved cleanup. Right now, all I have to do is use a small brush to dust out the residue. I don’t even wipe it down with a cloth. I imagine that grinding discs or stones will require disassembly at some point. But the machine is noisy! If I used it more than a 30 second burst I’d probably have ear protection hanging on a wall hook somewhere. I currently can process 2 cups of berries at a time. I can get 5 cups of finished flour in 2 batches and it takes me maybe 3 minutes start to last dump out from the machine. It meets my needs.

Not that 206 is heavy for me but I've been stuck at that weight for two days so today I increased my treadmill sessions from two to three a day.

@EatenByLimestone, the bread looks good.

I just made 2 cups of garlic butter for the bread. I don’t think it’s going to last long, lol.

Went for a ride today and ate a salad. I think I’m done with the “bulking” phase and ready to get ripped.

Then I made loaded potato soup with sweet Italian sausage for supper.
