Weekend Update

Mon, 16 Jan 2006 17:07:00 -0600

Oh dear, that makes me sound like the news!

Saturday didn't go as well. As day five of the diet rolled around, I found myself, about midday, getting very ill. I had sharp pains in my stomach and started feeling nauseous...so I ate a granola bar (six, actually), to try and help the pain. It helped. The same thing happened on Sunday and today, so again I ate the forbidden granola bars.

I have come to the conclusion that while nursing a baby, and the demands that that takes on my body, I cannot follow the diet 100%. I will do my best, but some grains are in order.

So, my weekend looked like this:

Saturday:
Breakfast: Omelet with Fresh Strawberries, coffee with cream
Snack: Handful of raw almonds
Lunch: Leftover Chili
Medicinal Beverage: coffee with cream
Snack: six forbidden granola bars
Supper: Cilantro Lime Chicken Cacciatore
Medicinal Beverage: Kefir

Sunday:
Breakfast: Sunny Almond Shake
Snack: A few handfuls of raw almonds
Lunch: Tossed salad
Snack: four forbidden granola bars
Supper: Easy Lasagna Soup
Medicinal Beverage: Coffee with cream
Snack: two forbidden granola bars

Day Four Evening Check-in

Fri, 13 Jan 2006 18:37:00 -0600

I cheated slightly today. We were out running errands at supper time so we stopped at the Dairy Inn where I got a hamburger (with regular antibiotic filled meat) without a bun, but with regular cheese (a no-no) and non-organic lettuce and tomato. I also got a diet Coke, neurotoxins (aspartame) and all. *SIGH* It was the best I could do in the situation.

Breakfast: Avocado Omelet, 1/2 cup coffee and 1/2 cup milk
Lunch: Jewel of a Salad
Snack: handful of raw almonds
Supper: The bunless hamburger and neurotoxin cocktail that I mentioned above

I still haven't been taking my supplements as I should, or exercising much (I did walk about 12 blocks on Tuesday and Thursday). Baby steps. I can't do it all at once. I'm just trying to concentrate on a healthy diet and plenty of water first.

The cravings are getting sooo bad! The first two weeks are always the roughest for me. I want chocolate!!!

I Didn't Meet My First Goal

Wed, 11 Jan 2006 10:45:00 -0600

What I ate yesterday:

Breakfast: Berry Smoothie
Lunch: Fiesta Salad
Snack: Organic Vanilla Yogurt
Supper: Garlic Chicken Stir-fry
Snack: Organic Vanilla Yogurt

The Great Weigh-In -- Starting Out

Sun, 1 Jan 2006 19:26:00 -0600

I am small-framed (think size 4 ring) and only 5'3", so I really shouldn't weigh any more than 110 lbs.

That means I have 46 lbs to lose! I got on the scale today. 156 lbs!
My BMI is 27.6

My goal date is July 31, 2006
