Accomplished everything I needed to. Had another minor nervous breakdown yesterday afternoon mostly due to lack of sleep. Slept good last night and feel lots better. Need to go to bed in a minute or two tonight. Mom came down and we walked downtown and went shopping which was good exercise. Free Day Tomorrow.

Really tired. Ate cheese and fruit small meals all day as I was teaching a class. But they were balanced and so was dinner. Exercised. Did written exercise but it vanished into cyberspace. Will redo at a later date. Basically it said I should find things other than food to find pleasure in, use the internet to motivate me to exercise, eat ( Read more... )

Exercise done, all stretches and toning, 10 minutes power walked and 10 minutes on the bike, so that's 15 minutes total. 30-15=just 15 left for the week. Now to take a bath, cook dinner, and do my written exercise (I think I'll get husband to help me with this one. Is that cheating? I'm not just very good at recognizing my own excuses.)

Ate on plan so far today, changed pita at dinner to rice but still only one tiny little ediets serving (2 tbsp. raw, 1/4 c. or so cooked) and made a side of green beans sauted in non stick spray. yummy. All that's left is a nice ricotta berry parfait for dinner ( Read more... )

I really want to try to track my exercise this week, so last night I did 10 minutes of stairmaster and walking in place, really like 2 minutes on 2 minutes off for the 10 minutes because my legs were killing me. Then I did 16 minutes on the bike, which Bob Greene says only counts for half, since it's a recumbent bike, so that would be 18 minutes ( Read more... )

I am writing to let you know that last week I signed a Contract with Myself to totally commit to a 12-week Basic Training course so that I can lose weight and get my life on a healthier track. I can't emphasize enough how important it is to me that I stick to the course and meet my goals--and, bottom line, I won't be able to ( Read more... )

I finished my reading assignments.  Next I will post my letter of support on my blog and email it to my husband.

Meal Plan loosely based on my plan with ediets.

Today I am supposed to eat:

8:30: SlimFast low carb Creamy Chocolate shake (actually had at @ 9:30 blended with 1 cup of cold coffee (generic instant) sweetened with Splenda for nice cafe ( Read more... )
