102910
starting the day with coffee (splenda this time) before my morning run
131/74 - 50 @8:01 am
usual supplements and meds today
had a nice run - though it was extremely chilly (in the mid 20s when i started)
wore the old wool hat for the first time this year
not my "official" weigh-in for the week (which will be tomorrow morning), but down to 226.2 this morning
---------------------
breakfast:
1/2 cup all bran with 1/2 cup skim milk - 2 points
banana - 2 points
22 points left for the day
--------------------
decided to go very light for lunch today - so i picked up some pre-packaged salads and fat-free dressing - we'll see if that's enough to keep me satisfied
0 points for the salad
1/2 cup cottage cheese - 2 points
tomato juice - 1 point
19 points left for the day
-------------------
snack of carrots and 1/2 serving of triscuits - 1 point
18 left
------------------
not sure of the actual point value of supper (tuna/noodle casserole) - but confident that i'm under points

102810 - D Day
"d" for "diet"
at my current weight, i would get 28 points per day, plus 35 bonus points each week
but i'm on the low end of that weight range - just a couple pounds away from the 26 point target, so i'm going to try to go with that
i also need to get at least 5 servings of fruits and vegetables each day, 2 servings of dairy and a little healthy oil - plus 6 glasses of water
--------------
supplements - 4 fiber smart, 1500 glucosamine, 1000 iu of vitamin d, 1 phytomega
meds - 80 mg diovan (mid-morning), 82 aspirin (before bed)
--------------
large glass of water first thing in the morning
breakfast:
coffee with sugar - 3 points (bad choice!)
1/2 cup all bran with 1/2 cup skim milk - 2 points
banana - 2 points
bp 119/73 hr 52 @ 7:46 am
19 points left for the day
--------------
tomato juice - 1 point
slice of papa john's original crust cheese pizza - 6 points
more water
12 points left
--------------
doing well with the water today
this is the point in the day where i would normally dive in to the crackers and cheese
so i think i'll grab some carrots and celery or something
--------------
cruised through the evening with a salad, a couple of martinis and some popcorn to land with 26 points for the day - really wasn't bad, although i would probably feel more satisfied if i'd had some protein with the salad - we'll see how i sleep tonight and how things seem tomorrow
i'm just glad that i didn't compromise this first day
