Greetings and felicitations!

Welcome! I invite you to join me on my journey to better health and well-being. Believe me, if I can do this, so can you!

My promise to you is no preaching, no soapbox, no lectures. This is going to be about what worked well for me -- I will comment but that's it -- take what you will from that. I figure, the book doesn't preach, so why should I? Feel free to post questions or comments -- and pass along the link to anyone who you feel might be interested. The more, the merrier!

However, I am only human...expect the occasional foot-stamping tantrum when I want chocolate...

Day 35 (Activate Cycle Day 17)

Well, here I am!  The end of the second 17 day cycle -- hard to believe, but I made it and I'm so excited to be starting Cycle 3 tomorrow!  I will see toast and cheese again and be able to eat relatively normally while we're on our week-long camping vacation.  We're all really looking forward to leaving at the end of the week -- getting away will be awesome!  I love that I'll have my own little kitchen to work with, which will make sticking to my plan easier than if we were eating in restaurants the whole time...

As predicted, some of my muscles are protesting the workout they got yesterday, though it's not as bad as I thought it would be.  I guess that "minimal" exercise I've been doing has been helping.  What hurts right now is my knee -- where I whacked it on the step of the ladder -- twice.  We'll see what the rest of my body has to say to me tomorrow...

Today's menu:
Breakfast -- Cream of Wheat, 1 peach, coffee, probiotic supplement
Morning Snack -- 100 g Silhouette 0+ raspberry yogurt, red grapes, coffee
Lunch -- green salad with red pepper, celery, cucumber, tuna, balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing, green tea
Dinner --small pork chop, steamed carrots, sliced tomato with salt & pepper

The Cream of Wheat, while I absolutely LOVE it, doesn't last nearly as long as the oatmeal does -- should have paired it with a protein, because I was hungry less than an hour after eating breakfast.  Then lunch was delayed because I was so wrapped up in the redecorating project that I lost track of time -- got a little light-headed, so I decided it might be a good idea to eat something.  Way to go, dummy...

Another weigh-in tomorrow morning and then the start of Cycle 3!  I already have breakfast planned.  So excited!!
