Good morning! Yes, April Fools Day. Anyone know where that came from anyway? I'm sure my kids will have fun today with the pranks...http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee109/jeannie216/chair.gif (broken link)http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee109/jeannie216/aprilfools.gif (broken link)...Well, after completing other chores yesterday morning, I never got to do a work-out. Today, is a must. Today is day 8 without one. Which means, going to be a tough time completing it. If I don't, going to join NCN at the aquatic center. Today, workout, a bit of laundry, should be it. Tea with sugar in the raw and soymilk...http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee109/jeannie216/6a00d8341c2d2753ef00e550df502988-1.gif (broken link)...have a wonderful day! http://i233.photobucket.com/albums/ee109/jeannie216/aprilfools-happyday.gif (broken link) Jeannie

Good morning, Jeannie, Karla, Izzy, and where are all the others. I found a new book at the grocery store and it is a good one. WOMAN'S DAY WEIGHT LOSS PLAN by Kathy Isoldi. It has a 30 day 1200 calorie guide with choices for each meal. It also has an exchange list if you don't prefer the choices listed. I told you before that I am so tired of choosing what to eat each day, so help has arrived. It is a 2003 book. ISBN 2-85018-645-7. Your library may have it or you might be able to get it through interlibrary loan. That is why I included the ISBN number. The diet is low glycemic which is what my doctor is recommending for me.

I am already exchanging, because it suggested low fat cottage cheese for breakfast and I don't eat cottage cheese. I didn't have any walnuts on hand today, so I substituted there too.

Here goes!

Breakfast: Strawberry yogurt, four almonds, banana, coffee and milk.

Oh, that banana should have been a pear! What was I thinking?

I don't want to misrepresent this lady's really good book. I am just using it as a guideline. By the time I have finished substituting, it may be high glycemic. LOL

Karla, our cat Samantha has to eat fast or the birds, the possum or the big gray cat, or the big yellow cat, or the medium black and white cat will come and eat her food. By the amount of cat food we buy, you would think we had ten cats. I saw 2 deer down the street yesterday. I have only seen deer in my yard once.

Good morning everyone!
NCN that book sounds good,but I can never follow it, You would have to be cooking all the time, it's great for a family then you won't waste all these things. try it!

Izzy, I didn't have time to cook the dinner, but substituted something similar. I went to the 4:30 water aerobics class. This one was the real thing. Not slow motion like our range of motion class. I may live. Every muscle in my body is sore. Then I stopped off at the grocery store and it was almost 7 when I got back home.

Lunch: 1 oz. turkey slices
1 oz. ham slices
Cracked wheat bread
10 mini dill pickles
sliced tomato on sandwich
Coffee and milk
Afternoon snack in grocery store (samples) piece of apple, piece of grapefruit, and a couple bites of some muffin??
Dinner: Mesquite chicken breast--cooks in 1/2 hour
While it was cooking I prepared a salad of lettuce, cucumber, celery, couple handfuls of slaw mix
I used Olive Garden dressing 2 T.
Coffee and milk
Finished coffee with 8 waffle crackers and low fat cream cheese
Snack right before bed: Tangerine and coffee and milk

Can't wait to see what I get to eat tomorrow. I love the choices this doctor makes. There really isn't a lot of cooking so far.

It all sounds good NCN. With these choices do you still count points? My day didn't finish well yesterday. After a couple bowls of Special K for dinner, my daughter and I snuggled in her bed, read a book together and munched on popcorn, then I hit some of the Girl Scout cookies after that. Today will be better!
