Day 4 - Thursday, Feb. 25, 2010

Hi there, well this is the 4th day of my eating right and it hasn't been a good day. First I wake up, have breakfast and weigh myself. And what do I find?? I actually gained a pound. How can this be? Practically the only thing I'm eating is veggies, fruit and nuts. I'm going to turn into a rabbit, and then I gain a pound??? You've got to be kidding. I could be eating ice cream and do that.

Well, needless to say, I started off my day a bit discouraged. I did learn something today though. When you're on a diet and you gain a pound it sure makes it difficult to stay motivated. Its as if everything you've been working toward has all been for naught. It also makes it a lot more difficult to pass by Books-A-Million and not stop in and visit Joe Muggs for a nice cold caramel Frappacino. I am truly addicted. They are better than Starbucks.

Anyway, as for my diet, I did pretty well today all things considered. Not sure about lunch though. I had a cup of corn chowder and a hard boiled egg. I'm sure that chowder had plenty of calories. But aside from that, I think I did pretty good. I certainly didn't gorge myself and walk away from the table with my stomach in a wheel barrow.

I've really got to start getting back to the gym. If I could just get caught up on some of these computers I'd have some time to put in an hour or so at the gym. I do need to exercise badly though. Its been a couple of weeks and I'm really feeling flabby. Oh well, I guess that's about all for today. My menu for today is below.

Menu

Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs and a cup of tea with a little honey.

Mid Morning Snack: A couple handfuls of Cashews.

Lunch: 1 cup Woody's corn chowder, 1 hard boiled egg, a couple forkfulls of salad.

Mid Afternoon Snack: 1 small peach, a couple saltine crackers.

Dinner: 1 club wrap, a couple forkfulls of coleslaw, 1 onion ring (These were DeAnne's but I just couldn't resist stealing one.) and 1 cup unsweetened iced tea at Houlighans.

I resisted having any snack tonight. I've just been too busy working on 3 laptops and a desktop to even think about eating. I just had a nice hot cup of relaxing Chinese green tea with a tsp of honey.

Well that's all for today folks. Keep me in your prayers as I continue to eat like a rabbit. God bless
