I started today by having a hard time getting up. I got up to workout, put my shoes on, looked for the TV remote so I could listen to David Crowder on DVD while I walked, and did not find the remote so I went back to bed because I was tired. However, it was worth it because five minutes after I went to bed my youngest son crawled into bed and cuddled for the next hour.
I got back up again at 6:15 AM and made oatmeal for the kids. Because I took a shower I ran out of time to make and eat my oatmeal. Instead I went through the McDonald's drive thru and had an oatmeal with fruit, and a large unsweet tea. For lunch I went to Park View Pizza in Flippin, AR and had a grilled chicken sandwich with lettuce, tomato, onion, mustard, and mayo on it. I accompanied it with a side salad with honey mustard dressing and a Diet Coke. For dinner my wife made vegetable beef soup so I had a bowl of that and a grilled cheese and turkey sandwich. I used fat free cheese, low fat butter, and fat free turkey on the sandwich. (I am still trying to figure out how you make a slice of turkey with absolutely no fat.) After eating dinner I ran some errands and picked the girls up from girl scouts. When I got home I had a cup and a half of low fat kettle corn popcorn. I also drank a quart of 2% milk.
Before I went to bed I ran and walked for 30 minutes on the tread mill. Overall it was a very good day. After weighing in I am amazed how much weight I have lost simply by being deliberate about what I eat, by eating healthier, and by exercising moderately 6 out of 7 days. I am also amazed at the results because I am not starving myself. I look forward to another great day tomorrow.
