This year, I’m determined to find the waistline I’d lost in 1992. Here goes:
Day 1
Breakfast – healthy -all good
Snacks -fruits
Lunch -salads and goodness
Dinner- wholesome fish/veg and yoghurt
Exercise- a brisk 10 min walk of determination
Day 2
Breakfast – late for work – so 2 boiled eggs
Snacks- chocolate cake at work (small)
Snacks- ‘healthy’ biscuits
Lunch- shared work mate’s lunch
Dinner- couldn’t wait- so ate rubbish from petrol station
Exercise- up and down the stairs -twice!
Day 3
Breakfast – ‘let’s do this’ omlette+ sausage
Snacks- colleague’s birthday cake
Lunch- jacket potato and more cake
Dinner- finishing off take-away cake to make room for a very determined tomorrow
Exercise – I SAID ‘TOMORROW’!
The journey continues….

Hmmm, looking at this I think I see where your troubles lie. Perhaps if those troubles got up and went jogging 😉 lol, I couldn’t help myself with that last line of day 3 🙂

Here is the deal. You are beautiful as you are. Who said you looked better smaller? Live life to the fullest, for tomorrow we may die. Forget about the diet, after all you aren’t good at it? Put it all off until tomorrow or you can think of yourself, as always on the first day, or the second day, or the last day? You can do as you want, and just say you are on a diet? Just some options that came to mind. xoxo

It was fun, Vivian. Reminds me of the way I do Meme’s. I stop and post before the list is finished. Both my ortho doctor and Mrs. Jim’s lady dr. are having us walk 30 minutes five days a week. Eating? My cardio dr’s dietician says I can eat any thing in moderation. Mrs. Jim can still wear her wedding dress, 45 years later. She doesn’t have a food plan but does be careful not overeating. TMI, sorry.
