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 30 (Activate Cycle Day 12)

Nothing too exciting to report today -- just another day of good eating and moderate exercise!  Started the day with crunches and squats (getting easier all the time...) and, while the walk in the park didn't happen, I did get to do some power walking in the 20 free minutes I had before I started work.  That's right, my walking was done in the parking lot between the grocery store, Wal-Mart and Tim's...I sure know how to make exercise glamorous...

Ah, well, it felt good anyway...

Today's menu:
Breakfast -- 2 poached eggs, 1/2 grapefruit, green tea
Morning Snack -- 6 oz vanilla yogurt, red grapes, coffee
Lunch -- Dr. Mike's turkey chili (no beans -- not a carb day), green salad with mushrooms, red pepper, grape tomatoes, cucumber, balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing, probiotic supplement
Dinner -- Traci's own creation -- chicken breast stir fried with mushrooms and about 2 Tbsp of salsa (that's all that was left in the jar...), green beans (from a can...), water

No ill effects to report from last night's steak.  However, I drank too much coffee again today.  I'm going to learn one of these days...
