I am down 1.75 pounds this morning. I am sure it is going to be a hard day since I am going out to eat two times. But hopefully I can make the right choices. More later.
Breakfast: 0
Lunch: Well I had lunch at Louies with Mary and Barbara. I had about 1/3 serving of spaghetti with meat sauce. Barbara and I split ours and I brought James half of mine but I am sure she gave me more than half so I will estimate I ate 1/3 of it. I ate a salad and not quite all of the ranch dressing. I did not eat any bread but I did eat 3 onion rings. Diet coke. So all in all I thought I did good. Now to go to supper at O'charleys with June and Phyllis. More later.
Supper: Went to O'Charleys and I had the house salad 245, with ranch drsg. 100, 1/2 7 oz sirloin 158, 1/2 baked potato 100, sour cream 50, tea with splenda. I felt like I did very good. NO ROLLS!!!!!!!!!!!
I may not be down any in the morning but I personally think I did extremely well. If I wasn't trying I would of ate all of both meals and bread also.

Back to Bethel
Today is a new start. Actually it is not as bad as I thought it would be. I am down 2.25 pounds from January 1st. Down a pound from February 1st and down 1.25 from March 1st. So all in all it is better than I thought it would be. But I could of been down at leaast 25 pounds since January 1st if I had tried. So a new day a new beginning. I am hoping I can walk some this week. I have been having some problems with my right leg and I don't know if I will be able to walk or not. My going out to eat causes me a lot of problems. Tomorrow I am going out with Mary and Barbara for lunch at Louies and then to supper with June and Phyllis so tomorrow will be a trial. Wednesday it will be to Austins with my Hillcrest friends and then James and I go out for breakfast on Thursday before we get groceries. So I am going to have to do some good planning and make good selections.
Breakfast: 2 slices OM Bacon 70 calories, 1/2 med. grapefruit 41 calories, 1 slice toast 70 with 1/4 tbs butter 25. Cup of hot green tea. For a total of 206 calories. I like to keep my breakfast at around 200 calories then my lunch 300 and that gives me around 500 for supper.
Lunch/Supper: Salad 50, Thousand Island drsg.40, Cheese on salad 110, vegetable soup 1 cup 150, crackers 60, diet coke 0 for a total of 410.
Snack: 2 slices cantalope 50.
Total of 666 calories for the day.
Walked 1/2 mile at Corryton Park.

MONDAY- LOST 2 POUNDS
Well, I am down 2 pounds today. I thought I did good yesterday. Hopefully I can keep it up. I am going to Josh's to work today so I'll see what happens. I am going to fix me a good breakfast and then maybe take me a WW lunch. More later.
Well it is later and I worked for 5 hours at Josh's house. For breakfast I had 2 oz of 99% ff deli ham on a bun. For lunch I had a ww dinner and then on my way home from Josh's I was about to starve (I guess where I had worked so hard) that I stopped at McDonalds and had a #1 meal. Then later James had cooked a turkey breast and I had some of it with mashed pot and greens. So I have probably ate too much but I'll try harder tomorrow. I also had one peanut butter cookie. I am going back to work again tomorrow so I guess I will work it off then.

MARCH 1ST - A NEW START
Well, I have wasted the entire month of February. I guess getting in the swing of retirement has got me off track of everything else. I will have to start anew. I have gained back the 6 pounds I lost in February plus another 1/4 pound so it is back to base 1. Thats what happens when you go out to eat everyday of the week. Well all I can do is start again.
For breakfast this morning I had my 1/2 cup of cottage cheese with the pinapple and sf jello in it. That is 190 calories.
For lunch we went to the Cracker Barrel and I had the Hamburger steak, baked potato with sc and butter, green beans and 2 biscuits one with butter the other with butter and honey and tea. So the worst thing I did was to have the second biscuit.
I had 8 oz of V8 juice for 50 calories about 4:00. I don't plan to have anything else today.
I hope I can start walking again soon but I don't know. The last time I walked at the track and the last time I walked at the mall my left hip started hurting real bad. I may be able to maybe just start out walking 1/2 mmile a day. I hope it doesn't mean the end of my walking. It is still cold but surely it will begin to warm up soon. I start back to eating out with Phyllis and June this week. I am also going to start working some at Josh's tomorrow so maybe I will get a little more exercise.
Thats all until tomorrow.

SUNDAY FEBRUARY 15TH - GAIN 2.75 FOR PAST WEEK
A week has past since I have written on my blog. As you can see I had a week of not dieting. I went to Byron's house for 3 days and just didn't try at all. I also went out to eat Monday,(Chili's) Tuesday,(Cracker Barrel) Wednesday,(Austin's) Thursday,(Church Senior Dinner) Friday,(Applebees) Saturday,(O'Charleys) Sunday.(Cracker Barrrel). So you can see what my problem is. But I plan to start again tomorrow. I am going to fix my cottage cheese and pineapple in the morning and I am not planning on eating out until at least Wednesday when I go to Austins with the girls that I used to work with at Hillcrest. I also plan to start cleaning tomorrow. I would like to walk but it is just suppose to be in the low 50's and 40's this week with rain part of the time so I probably won't be able to do much of that. I hope this will be a better week for me.

MONDAY - LOST 1/2 POUND
I got my other 1/2 pound today. That makes 6 total.
I didn't eat breakfast this morning. I had a lot to do so I skipped which is not a good thing but thats what I did.
For lunch I went to Chili's . I was craving some chips and salsa. So I had 1/2 order of chips and salsa for a total of 235 calories and 1/2 of a Quesadilla salad for 630 calories. I got the calorie count off of Chili's web site nutritional values. So that was a total of 865 for lunch so it will be a light supper for me.
I also walked 1 round at the Hillcrest track and that was all I could do because my hip hurt so much. I used to walk around 5 times without even stopping. I will try to walk again tomorrow.

SUNDAY - NO POUNDS LOST
I was hoping to reach 6 pounds but I will have to settle for 5.5. Which is good.
I didn't eat any breakfast before going to church.
After church we went to Cracker Barrel for lunch. I found some of the Cracker Barrel calorie counts. I had been counting too high on most things but better than counting short. I had the grilled chicken tenderloins (4) for 160 calories, Green beans 70 calories per serving. Hash Brown Casserole 155 per serving. 2 biscuits at 133 each for 266 calories, Jelly 40 calories, margarine 30 calories and unsweetened tea for a total of 721 calories for lunch.
I am going to try not to each much more today.
After church I had 50 calories of turkey on 80 calories of bread with 15 calories of light mayo.
