Losing weight, one diet at a time; one month at a time…


Lost 5 lbs

I got on the scale this morning and I’m down 5 pounds since Monday. This seems typical – loss of water and all. On day two I ate:

Breakfast – JC cereal – 200 calories
Cheddar Cheese – 100 calories
Lunch – JC Cheesy Enchiladas – 260 calories
Dinner – Grilled Chicken Breast – 130 calories
Grilled potatoes, onions & corn – 150 calories

Total calories for day 2 – 840 (not nearly enough)

Kate and I got together last night (the reason I actually cooked) and discussed our plan of attack. We thought we both would benefit from making weekly or at least daily menus ahead of time. I know that the less I have to think about food – the better off I am. So, that’s on my to-do list for today. We also agreed and Kate is far more optimistic that I – that there is hope for living a life without the obsession with food – whether it be from eating or dieting.

  1. You might want to consider raising your calorie intake by consuming a snack between meals. It should be either fruit or protein based. For example I had a plum and a banana for one snack today and a protein shake for the other.

    By the way does JC stand for Jenny Craig?

  2. Yes – JC is Jenny Craig and not the big Guy.

    I think the lack of calories yesterday was due to poor planning and lack of time. I was so busy that I forgot to eat. I know that not getting enough calories will not be good.
