"Technically", I'm NOT on track. Craziness in my schedule every day has made it really difficult to stay on track with either eating or exercising. So I bought some almonds and some string cheese to keep with me and at the office for mid-morning and afternoon snacks. Otherwise, I get too hungry at meal time and eat too much.

I can't seem to get up the energy to go for a walk or go swimming because it is so unbearably hot. I am outside a lot during my business day, so I have no desire to go back outside to exercise.
So I will rearrange some furniture and create an indoor space where I can use my total gym, bike and weights.

Today's experiment is an attempt to see if I can reduce my appetite even more by eating a big salad with every meal except breakfast. I also bought some carrots to eat as a snack.

Okay, I haven't been exercising lately, but I have been careful about what I have been eating. I have discovered that if I eat any bread at all, even a little bit, I either stop losing weight or actually gain a little back. Bummer.

I've been pretty good about my eating habits in the last couple of days. And I haven't been as hungry as usual. I hope the change is permanent.

A summer cold has me not feeling well. So I am being a couch potato and have gotten off my 6 small meal cycle. I'm hoping I feel better tomorrow. It's hard to be outside in this heat.

Whenever I have lost weight in the past, I have done it by using drastic measures like fasting, using the Adkins diet or completely cutting out breads and sugars, including fruits. This time I am changing my eating schedule to have 6 small meals a day (3 meals and 3 snacks) and increasing my activity level to include moderate exercise at least 3 times per week.
