Starting Over

Of course, I am not starting over at all. But, I am starting over to achieve more weight losses. So far, I have lost 2.5 lbs.

Pre-breakfast: Coke
breakfast: I got up very late, so I just ate lunch with my friend at the house.
Lunch: grilled cheese sandwich
Snack: Otter Pop type thing (like frozen koolaid in a plastic tube), 1/2 glass chocolate milk
Dinner: Baked chicken breast,coleslaw,lima beans, corn on the cob, cornbread
Snack: smoothie with banana, mango, blueberries,strawberries, oj, yogurt
Snack: salad greens, grated cheese, tomatoes, baked chicken, dressing.

Since I did not eat breakfast, my late, late snack is only the third meal of the day.

Today was torrid! It was all I could do to keep from melting. However, the heat did keep me from eating some things I might have.

Tuesday, I baked a chicken. It will make four meals for me and two for my friend. I halve each breast for a meal. He will eat a leg and thigh for each meal. The chickens will eat from the carcass and giblets at least four times. They love the fat, gristle, and skin.

After the gain, I must strengthen my resolve on not eating excessively.

Anyone else losing weight?

Friday Forever & Stretching

Did you ever have a day that seemed to last forever? I am having one today. It is not that it seems to last too long, it just does not end. That's today.

I managed to buy my daughter a gift, a digital frame, wrap it, stuff a box full of things for her and her children and mail it. Now,the PO line DID seem to last forever. The PO won't be open tomorrow, so people were lining up to do their mailing today. Everyone had packages! As it turns out, the day they gave for delivery is also her birthday. That works out well.

For about a month now, I have been slowly easing my body into a stretching routine several times a day. This is paying off.

Food for the day:
Coke
apple
Ruffles chips
cheese sandwich on whole wheat bread

Smoothie:banana, mango, strawberry, blueberry, yogurt, oj
This make a 24 oz drink/meal

Salad: Romaine, raddicio, endive, carrots, tomatoes, chicken, dressing

Yikes! Ate at KFC on Wednesday

On Wednesday, a friend took my to KFC. Yes, I really enjoyed it since I have not eaten at KFC in about 4 months. Frying chicken at home is so fattening. At KFC the portions are limited, so I have no leftovers to stuff in my mouth for a snack...like I need fried food twice in one day!

Today , Wednesday, I ate:
Fried chicken breast
slaw
part of the KFC mashed potatoes
all of the gravy
gave away the biscuit!
unsweetened tea, senior drink!

cheese
two slices whole wheat, double fiber bread

banana
mango
strawberry
blueberry
yogurt
oj
Yes, it is a smoothie
All the fruit was frozen.

Leaf lettuce
tomatoes
carrots
apple
