The Diet: Week # 4
Here is the diet report for last week, which was week # 4. This week wasn’t without it’s cheats, but I am proud to say there was nothing earthshattering. The worst was taco night, but it was only ground beef with cheese, diced tomatoes and lettuce and fat free sour creme. So while the volume of taco night was off the charts, the food itself wasn’t as it’s rather healthy compared to fast food, and I made all the mexican stuff myself.
Overall I thought it was a decent week. And for the record, I had no meat on Good Friday… just to be respectful. But as you can tell, we all made up for that over the weekend. Tuesday’s supper was the best, and I’m going to try to make days like that be the norm rather than what you see here.
As I also stated in my previous entry I’ve lost 13 lbs. over the first month of my new diet/workout routine. I haven’t had a chance to tell my trainer yet, but I’m sure he’s going to be pleased with the results. I’ve got a lot more to do, but it’s a good first step. So here is another week, and the struggle goes on but I feel good and am eager to keep going!
Everyone take care and have a good week!
Peter

How do you decide on your menus? Are you following a general plan of some sort – counting calories, or just eating specific foods? Great job on the weight loss!

Keep active. The more active you are, the less you think about breaking the diet. Exercising to music is the best.

For me, portion control is the hardest lesson to learn; I’m trying to adjust to the fact that a plate that LOOKS empty really ISN’T empty.

Do go easy on the deep fried stuff or stuff fried with loads of fat (like tortillas, chicken nuggets, etc.) and eat more fruit and veggies. Oh, and I make ice cream with fat free joghurt and frozen berries mixed together. Yummy! Congrats on losing so much weight, good work there!!!

ah try calling it healthy eating rather than diet… because that is what it is.. Have you tried frozen grapes…?
