Oh man!!!

Noooooooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!! How to ruin a good latte...

Lattes are my downfall ~ I could just have those all day and no food! But I think for some reason my body holds onto ALL the calories in the milk - even if it is skinny milk so I'm tying to avoid them for a while to see if my weight starts shifting. You are doing great Diane. Wow over a mile jogging! I wish I could do that much - my limit is about 2 minutes!!!

Ruth, Day 1 was a success, not perfection, but still a success. I have started jogging and was quite suprised to see that I could jog for 1.2 miles. I don't even recall as a child jogging for that long. So, that is my new cardio workout. I have the street mapped out and I am just going to keep jogging and strengthing my legs. I did well with protein yesterday, had to add some food in, so needed the chewing function!! Didn't quite get the carbs completely out, but the day did not involve any cookies!! So again, success!!! Day 2 has started out good. I've already done a protein shake, vitamins, and the 1.2 mile jog. I'm sipping on my latte now, chilling (that's one carb I just can't give up ). I am going to bring some pistachios and some other protein snacks to work so if I get the urge to crunch I will not be tempted by the vending machine snacks! Hope you're having a great day!! Diane

Good for you Diane! As you say, food won't make anything better, even though that is what our inner voice tries to tell us. I admire you for taking a stand against it, getting back into the exercise and the 5 day plan. Let us know how you are doing each day - I'm cheering you on from the sidelines.
