This is the beginning! I got up this morning and weighed myself--305 lbs. I'm definitely not proud of that, but I have to start somewhere. I'll weigh myself every Monday morning. My first goal is to lose 30 lbs, which if I go for a steady weight loss of 2 pounds/week takes me thru the holidays and out to about the end of January.
I started today with a toasted English muffin and a small glass of blueberry juice. For lunch it was some chicken salad. I'm making veggie sticks (red peppers, cucumbers and brocolli) to have with hummus for a snack this afternoon. I also have a pot of yogurt and some red raspberries if I get hungry. I think dinner is going to be chicken satay; I'll make chicken with a lime sauce, wild rice and a steamed veggie for my dinners when I'm working days this week. The chicken breasts I got at Waitrose are bigger than the portions in the recipes (note to self: pay attention when you buy them in the future), so I'll get 5 servings instead of 4 out of the recipe. I'll add the recipe later when it's handy.
It's kind of a dull, wet Autumn day, which seems like the sort of day to stay inside and get organized.
Later...It's a lot more work to eat healthy than to just grab whatever junk looks good. But I've made a good start on having my salads ready for my day shifts. I wasn't hungry so I gave the veggie sticks and hummus a miss until tomorrow and went with the raspberries (mmmm-raspberries!) and a pot of vanilla yogurt.
