Stick to it Susie!

DAY 1

What’s my goal?  Lose 5 pounds in 3 weeks.  Deadline is 4/17, the day of the Spring Craft Faire.   Ultimate goal is to lose 10 pounds by June 1.  Starting morning weight: 106

Actually, it’s kind of day 2 because last night I decided to skip dinner.  Why not?  I wasn’t hungry but I’m programmed to think I’m supposed to eat.  Anyway, no dinner for me and I wasn’t even that hungry in the morning.

So if last night was the first day, I skipped dinner.  My exercise was 2 sets of league tennis, and about 40 minutes with Walk it Out.  I also did a little bit of weights for my arms.

Todays meals:  breakfast:  miso soup with tofu, 1/4 cup of rice.  Coffee  lunch:  1 cup lowfat yogurt with 1/2 apple.  Diet soda.  Snack:  1/2 cup of Green Juice, 2 hard candies Tea  Dinner:  Sugar snap peas with bay scallops sauted in olive oil and sweet soy on 1/2 cup rice.  Tea  Snack:  2 hard candies.  

Exercise: gardening, arm and leg weights
