"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
a personal journey toward fitness for life
A Brief Explanation
Here's the short story. I've neglected my health for nearly a decade. I'm using this Weblog to document my efforts toward better fitness. Here's the opening post, which pretty much explains it all. I've taken as my motto the words of Dr. George Sheehan. "First, be a good animal."
