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...

Day 29 (Activate Cycle Day 11)
133 lbs! Let me do the math -- that's 14 pounds gone in 28 days! Woot!!!!
"Project Shrinkage" was mildy successful -- my favourite capris are actually snugger in the thighs than I would like and two of the other pairs are just right! I'm thankful that this worked because, remember, the plan is to buy a new fall wardrobe, not replace the summer one...
The weekends have been tricky for me. I find myself wrapped up in the project of the day, losing track of time and not eating properly. And I also want to snack, craving cereal bars, pie, chips. This is slowing my progress a bit, I'm sure. I've said it before -- good thing I work full time...
Today's menu:
Breakfast -- 4 scrambled egg whites, 1/2 cup oatmeal, peach, coffee
Morning Snack -- 6 oz vanilla yogurt with red grapes, coffee
Lunch -- (Campbell's Healthy Request) Herbed Chicken and Brown Rice soup, baby carrots/celery/grape tomatoes with lite Ranch dip, coffee
Dinner -- BBQ'd round steak, steamed carrots, green salad with balsamic vinegar/olive oil dressing
The Campbell's soup was necessary because I didn't get around to making Dr. Mike's chicken soup on the weekend like I planned -- and it wasn't nearly as tasty or as filling. Lesson learned there...
I was so happy that today was a carb day -- enjoyed that oatmeal as always. I really missed having my carb day on Saturday. OK, yes, I did eat pizza on Friday and 2 cookies yesterday, but what I really missed was having the potato or the rice with my lunch -- oh, yeah, I didn't eat lunch. Never mind...
The steak for dinner was amazing as well -- time will tell if it's going to affect me or not. Should be interesting given last week's adventure with the hamburger. Let's just say that some symptoms are arising...TMI, I know...
I'm resolving right now to be more diligent about the exercise as I've been REALLY slack in that department this past week or so. I need to get on top of that -- our summer getaway is coming up and I need to be more careful and a lot more faithful to the plan or some of this weight will be coming back. I don't want to have to backtrack when we get home. Anyway, tomorrow will be a fresh start -- another long walk in Glenmore Park in the morning! Such a pretty way to get that exercise in...
