starting
well this makes blog number 3 for me.
if you are a reader of my other one, you will no doubt know that one of my new year's resolutions was to lose the requisite 10 pounds. since that resolution, i have gained one. so. clearly i haven't been very resolute.
the "literature" all suggests that one good way of losing weight is to write down everything you eat. no more "mindless eating," if you will. so i figure i'll give it a shot. for a while. we'll see how it goes. i guess the question is, when do i post? because it is easiest for me to post during the day. but i will not have eaten everything i will have eaten by the end of the day, by then. hmm. i suppose i could report on what i ate yesterday. do you think i will remember? i can try.
ok so here goes.
sunday 1.28.07
weight: (hah!) = goal + 11.5
breakfast: yogurt with almonds & honey. coffee with splenda and skim milk.
lunch: mediterranean mixed veggies & chickpeas, brown rice, cauliflower. glass of red wine. orange marmalade cake with a scoop of ice cream.
snack: starbucks, grande nonfat cappuccino.
dinner: home-made ravioli with sauce. glass of red wine. more ice cream.
what i learned: ice cream twice is probably more than i need. same for the alcohol. otherwise good- could use some more protein.
