I know what has worked for me in the past.  I work out for about 75 to 90 min every morning.  Then breakfast is a grapefruit and a small portion of low sugar oatmeal.  For lunch I have a romaine lettuce and spinach salad with either plain boiled shrimp, plain baked chicken breast, etc… and light ranch dressing.  Dinner is a lean meat and a veggie.  Two to three glasses of milk and some fruit for dessert.  Snacks are carrot sticks.  Drink lots of water during the day.  I am guessing this all comes to about 1200 to 1500 calories.   I don’t call this a diet but a life style.  Eat healthy and in the right quantities.   Since coming to this site I have read many posts and did some calorie research.  Yikes even a carrot has like 30 calories.  It seems everything has calories.  Makes me want to wear a mask and filter my breath.  So I am wondering, How many calories can I cut by not breathing?  Only kidding of course.  You almost can’t afford to open your mouth.  That is why I say I am trying to keep my mouth shut and my feet moving. 

Speaking of moving my feet.  No rest for this fat boy on Saturday.  35 min on the eliptical and another 45 on the treadmill.  Feeling good.  I am not going to talk about THEE NUMBER  but I know it is going down.  There are more ways to know that than by hopping on a scale.  Over the last two weeks my belly no longer rubs the shower door as I step in and out of the shower.  It is nice not having to suck it in to squeeze through. 

 I am beginning to feel more room in my clothes.  There is more room between my belly and the steering wheel.  Plus I feel it is easier to move this big ole bod from point a to point b.  Now the KEY is to keep it up and do it EVERYDAY!  I am having so much fun at the moment I can’t wait to do it again tomorrow.  I hope everyone is having a great weekend and I will check in with you all tomorrow.
