Trimming Down 2

Tuesday September 5...

Ok, I have Saturday, Sunday, Monday, and half of Today to update.

When i'd weighed myself last week I was sitting at 155 lbs. Five pounds more than I was when I was working out before Shine. Time to get really serious - i'm going on a mostly soup diet for the next week and a half.

Saturday morning Charles and I went down to Washington with Lindy and Trent and their two sons to do some shopping. I had a cup of tea and my usual slice of whole grain toast with a little bit of peanut butter for breakfast. We stopped at Starbucks on the way down and I had a skim Chai Latte (no sugar). Lunch was a green salad, and half a club sandwich (I asked for easy mayo, but it was still a bit overly wet. it had two types of cheese on it, so I pulled most of the cheese out -still had a few bites, but not much) Dinner was 4 slices of thin crust brick oven pizza and two glasses of wine (darn it!) At least the pizza had very little in the way of cheese on it (it was traditional)

Toast & Peanut Butter - 160 calories
Tea - 12 calories

Sunday started with my usual cup of tea and peanut buttered toast. I had a plate of leftover Chicken a la King on toast for lunch, shared two bowls of very lightly buttered popcorn with Charles in the afternoon, and had more Chicken a la King over rice for dinner, followed by a pack of 100 calorie crisps and about a dozen almonds. I was REALLY good about my water intake... I didn't have any tea past the first cup, and I'm quite sure I reached if not surpassed drinking a full two litres of water.

Monday I was even better. Same breakfast as usual (it has protein in it, and I love my morning tea) Lunch was a 220 calorie Strawberry Yogurt Power Bar and a bottle of water while we went hiking at Lighthouse Park. I had a small bowl of Tomato and Red Pepper soup at around 3pm for a snack, with more water. Dinner was another bowl of Tomato and Red Pepper soup. For the rest of the evening I just sipped Soda Water.

Tuesday, and back to work - first day of the School year. Weighed myself this morning at 150 lbs. Breakfast was the usual. One of the professors brought in apples from his tree, so I had part of one. We had a catered welcome party for the Undergrads, so I had a few pieces of fresh fruit, a turkey sandwich, and two cups of tea. Am currently working on a cup of water. Dinner will be more Tomato & Red Pepper soup and water.
