Sooooo.......
Way back on Day 2, I postponed breakfast because the boy had an appointment and I figured eating afterward would be OK -- I was wrong...very, wrong...hungry all day wrong...
Today the daughter had an early appointment, so I made a point of eating right away -- yup, breakfast at 7:00 in the morning. I have never been able to eat as soon as I get up, so it was a job getting that food in. And it was all for nothing because I was ravenous when I got to work and I didn't have enough food with me. I've been hungry all day...again...
Guess I need to start packing some additional snacks, just in case I need to graze on days like today.
Today's menu:
Breakfast -- 6 oz peach yogurt with 1 peach diced up and mixed in
Morning Snack -- 1 Granny Smith apple, lots of red grapes, half of a navel orange, coffee
Lunch -- Dr. Mike's chicken soup, probiotic supplement
Dinner -- barbequed chicken breast, steamed baby carrots
I skipped the green tea today -- wonder if that is going to affect anything...

Day 15 (Accelerate Cycle)
136 lbs!
I was fully expecting that number to have gone up a bit, considering my misbehaviour over the weekend. So to say I'm thrilled with a small decrease is a bit of an understatement -- I'm ecstatic!
I'm back on track now -- with the food anyway. Didn't fit in any exercise today, but will manage extra tomorrow and the rest of the week. In case you're wondering, I don't exercise after 8:00 at night as I find that I can't fall asleep later on -- my energy burst lasts a long time. Years ago, I used to walk with a group of neighbours, which went really well until our start time was pushed back to 8:30 and then 9:00 and then almost 9:30 -- I found I was still awake at 2:00 in the morning after one of those walks. So, there you have my personal exercise "rule of thumb" -- I really enjoy sleep, so I'm not going to do anything to jeapordize a full night...
Today's menu:
Breakfast -- 2 poached eggs, 1/2 grapefruit, coffee
Morning Snack -- 6 oz vanilla yogurt with red grapes mixed in (this has officially replaced the peach-on-peach combination as my favourite...)
Lunch -- Dr. Mike's chicken soup
Dinner -- Traci's tuna salad, green tea
I found that I was needing the afternoon snack today, but all I had with me was some apple -- no fruit allowed after 2:00 pm -- so I made do with a lot of water. That works really well...
Counting down to Thursday, the next weigh-in and the oatmeal for breakfast! Did I mention that I can have a potato that day, too?!
Thanks for reading!
