Hello!
I have been wanting to share a typical day of eating with you. Here's how yesterday went:
Breakfast: small bowl of cereal
Lunch: Ham and cheese sandwich
One avocado, sliced with a little olive oil
Snack: Small bag of caramel M&Ms.
Diet Dr. Pepper
Dinner: Roast beef
Roasted potatoes
Green peas
Dessert: Small piece of strawberry and blueberry pie
The cereal was plain Cheerios, the avocado is a healthy fat, the M&Ms & Dr. Pepper were a treat for vacation, and the pie I made myself, so I controlled the amount of sugar, butter, and flour. It had fresh berries, not frozen or canned. I ate very small portions for dinner.
Don't think weight loss is possible with a diet like this?
I've lost THREE pounds this week. YUP! I have averaged a mile a day walking, and I am staying busy, so I am not eating between meals. Hell, I worked on a grab bag of chips for three days. A handful is enough for me. Didn't think I would ever say that, but it's true. I try to put as much healthy food into my diet. Thus, the avocado, fresh berries, potatoes, and peas. The white potaoes were only ok healthy. A veggie, but a sweet potato would have been better No butter was used, only a little olive oil and pepper.
Eating on vacation is difficult. You pass many temptations, only to find yourself fatter at the end. Well, I need to keep portions small to be able to eat what I want. Second, I have to exercise the food off. I have averaged a mile a day walking while I've been on North Carolina. I do not drink alcohol, and when not treating myself to a diet soda, I drink water all day long and the night as well.
I'll write another meal soon, and it will be one when I am home. What's a typical day when on my regular schedule? Stay tuned ...
