Yesterday, I ate my second meal at 3 PM; a green smoothie. That was it. Weighed in today at 171.5, a 1 ½ pound loss. Did 30’ on the Gazelle. Today, I want to do a 60’ walk and work out on the Bowflex.

Here is my path to reaching my 12 week goal weight of 165.

STRATEGIES:
1. Need to become more consistent in my aerobic exercising (Gazelle/walking) and start strength training (Bowflex). I will document my exercise.
2. I will be more attuned to my ‘hunger’ not eating just when its meal time, but skipping a meal if I am not experiencing ‘true hunger’.
3. I will keep dried fruit out of the house. It’s too much a temptation to snack on. (Exception; raisins only for oatmeal.)
4. One allowable celebration of single malt whisky on 1/29 for toasts at the Robert Burns Night.

Last night after working my 2nd job I did my shopping. Fault the temptation to get a bottle of champagne for New Year’s. I wanted to get a crusty loaf of French bread. I managed to keep it all out of basket.

Breakfast: Steel cut oatmeal; walnuts raisins, blackberries & ½ grapefruit.
