I know it’s a “no-no” but I weighed myself again this AM. Down another 1lb. So that puts me at 307lbs. No, I’m not starving myself. I’ve switched to a better food plan. As I sit all day, I am now taking a lighter lunch – so today it’s a Chicken Salad with regular dressing (I hate the diet stuff – it tastes totally disgusting) — but I’m not pouring the dressing, I am following the label so have just the right amount. I’ve added some cheese to it and on the site I have half a pita. I could stuff the pita, or have the pita as a snack with tea (yah – bread & water).

Typically for lunch I’m eating fruit – oranges, and grapes as they are my favourite. When I have the urge for some starchy foods I have chips. Yummmmy! Pringles comes in smaller serving sizes, good for one person and the caloric count isn’t that high. These are the best way for me to satisfy cravings and give me a treat when I feel like one.

Breakfast today was a Tim Hortons Breakfast Sandwhich on a bagel without butter (I don’t eat bacon – remember mostly I’m vegetarian), and XL steeped tea with milk only and 5 timbits (you know, donut holes). The timbits were old fashioned plain. I can’t stand the sugary stuff – they coat virtually everything in sugar. I’ve tried to get stuff without the sugar on it, when I can but they always say NO to me.

I am also starting to drink water again. I’ve actually gone for days without drinking the stuff… not very good for you. So I’m up to about 3 glasses per day and will slowly build myself up.

Nothing more to add for today. Hope you all have a great day!

Weighed myself this morning, and I’m at 306lbs. I was at 308lbs yesterday. Yes, I understand that 2lbs per day is not sustainable and I suspect that most of the loss will be attributed water loss.

I’ve been exercising in the mornings, getting in at least 1 mile of brisk walking.

Breakfast was a bowl of Bran cereal (well, two bowls) with 2% milk and a cup of tea. I snuck a couple of almond cookies as well – they cost me dearly in terms of calories, but they were good!

I eat a very light lunch as I sit most of the day. Lunch was one large orange and LOTSA grapes and water. I’m feeling drenched I’m drinking so much water.

Dinner was a bit of a cheat though… more than I should have. It was fried chicken and fries. But I did get in just over 2 miles of walking!

I’ve also been digging through some of my archives and found some of my original journals where I tracked what I’d been eating and my exercises when I lost my initial 100lbs. I’ll be posting them on the site, but not all of them! I’ll be posting breakfast/lunch/dinner but some will be protected posts while others will be public. Only those individuals that have registered for the blog alerts will get the protected posts. The rest…sorry!

I’ll be reactivating the subscriber box shortly so that you can subscribe for the blog alerts. Everyone will get ADVANCED notice before I start placing the protected posts online. Once a post is made available, a password will be sent out. Each post will have a different password. If you subscribe after 5 posts, you don’t get the password for the previous ones — only the password for the newest ones.

Take care,

Mohamed
