Friday April 7 Menu

So far, on exercise, my husband & I are up to six laps on the track at Gunning Park Recreation Center. We keep increasing our laps by one each time we go there. I'm so out of shape that I can't do all the laps one after the other without resting, but I do them as best I can. After about the first three laps, my left hip starts to hurt, and I have to sit for a couple minutes before resuming them. Breakfast 1 cup Oatmeal Squares 1 cup skim milk 1 orange 1/2 cup egg substitute Coffee 2 cups water AM Snack 8 oz. Breyers Probiotic Yogurt with fruit 2 cups water 1 Ritz cracker Lunch 1 cup low fat cottage cheese 3 Tbsps. sugar-free preserves 1 cup heated green beans 1 Tbsp. margarine, melted 4 graham crackers 1 plum 2 Hunt's sugar-free Gel Packs 2 cups water Dinner Steak, browned on griddle with Pam 1 white potato, baked 2 tsps. margarine 1 can no salt mixed vegetables 1 cup grapes Crystal Light peach ice tea Evening Snack 1 sugar-free, low fat ice cream sandwich I'm back on track now. No bingeing, and I will stick to the food plan. I hope I've gotten over feeling jealous of others who are losing weight faster than I am. Denise Phares

Greetings, Oh my! I went to tea not once but twice yesterday (my sister surprised me with the second one) and ate waaaaaaaaaaaaay too many carbs. It was a really lovely day but not good calorie-wise. I am back on track today. Maren
