So I obviously haven't been keeping up on the blog lately.
Wow, I just looked, and I haven't posted in 7 weeks. In that 7 weeks, I've lost a net total of 1.6 pounds. Obviously I do a lot better when I write about what's going on. I don't think more than about 4 people actually read what I write, but I'm beginning to think that just the act of writing helps. Anyway, back to it I go!
Yesterday's meals...
Breakfast: Oatmeal, banana - 7 points
Lunch: Tomato-beef broth, turkey pastrami wrap - 14 points
Snack: Yogurt with applesauce - 3 points
Dinner: Sauerkraut and sausage - 21 points
Dessert: Pudding and Cool Whip - 4 points
Total: 49 points
I currently have a total daily allowance of 55 points. According to the program, I'm supposed to use them all every day, but I rarely make it. I think as long as I'm within 5 points or less I'm doing fine. As it is, I'm eating every 3 hours and rarely or never getting the recommended number of vegetable servings. Most vegetables and fruits have a zero points value, and I'm supposed to have nine servings per day, in addition to my 55 points?! There's no way I can eat that much, so I do what I can.
I'm starting back with exercising this week as well. The treadmill I was using is no longer accessible, and it's pretty uncomfortable for me to go in and use it anyway, so last night I fired up the Wii and tried out the Wii Sports boxing game for the first time. It feels a lot more like random, frenetic flailing than actual fighting, but at least it's energetic, random, frenetic flailing that definitely gets my heart rate up and tires me out. I started out with 15 minutes and I'll increase it weekly as I've done with my other types of exercising.
