OK, what a weekend. Saturday we had a family get together at Jim’s house. Of course the food was everywhere. I brought Chinese Chicken salad – thought that was pretty safe and something we could eat with no problem. I made a good start. Had my salad and was satisfied. Stephen had a pork sandwich. We were doing OK, but as the afternoon wore on it was hard to say away from the snacks. Dad reached for the nuts and I had a problem with the cheese. Back at home I was through for the day. My saving grace is that I went to the gym that morning as well as the two day before. Getting back to the gym feels good.
Easter was fast Sunday for us so we didn’t eat until around 4:00. I ate leftover chicken salad and some sugar free chocolate pudding – yum. Our friends the Henrie’s invited us over for Easter dinner and I was surprised when Dad thanked them but refused, even when tempted with banana cream pie. He said we ate poorly the day before and had to get back to it. Good job Dad!
Today we will have been Zoning for 3 weeks. Dad is down 4 pounds and I am down 12 pounds. I like the way it feels however, exercising including weight resistance is really needed to get the body conformation I am looking for.
What do I want to eat?
This was the question that was on my mind almost 24/7. Then something fun happened that required I keep an eating journal. This blog was created to be a place to log my daily entries. I know, I know...why would anyone want to post an eating journal? Not to mention, who one earth would want to read an eating journal? I don't know - all I do know, is that I need to keep one to help me eat more responsibly.
The following was recorded on Tuesday April 22, 2008.
Last Friday night Stephen was on a campout with the Young Men so Sonnet and I were out and about together. We decided on a double feature – one movie @ the plaza and another @ Edwards. We had a little time between show times so we wandered around the shops @ Edwards. Russo’s Books looked good so we stopped in for a browse. The first book I picked up had us laughing out loud so we decided to get it. It is called Neris and India’s Idiot-Proof Diet. The authors are India Knight and Neris Thomas. The next two days we were mesmerized and took turns reading out to each other. The authors, India & Neris, became our new best friends and this diet adventure is a result of our time together with them through the printed word.
'How It All Began' is where I have posted the first two months journal. There after the most recent post will contain the most current week. I will say this, as I look back through it I realize what started out as just an accountability tool, has evolved into something much, much more meaningful for me.
