Accountability Time

[Guest guest]

Okay, I'm feeling a bit more energetic, quite a bit less in pain, and a lot

determined! Can you guys help me walk the straight and narrow? Here's

what my meals were today.

1/3 c. cc, half grapefruit

protein shake, half banana, 1/2 c. unsweetened raspberries, 1.5 c. 2% milk

salad, small amount chicken, lemon and olive oil dressing (2 tbsp.)

1.5 c. cream of carrot soup (homemade so hard to count cals.)

1/3 c. cc, 1/2 grapefruit

Fitday figures come out to:

1025 cals., 38% fat (oops!), 30% carbs, 29% protein, 4% alcohol (2 teeny oz.

red wine earns me 4%? Not fair!)

I know where I can improve fat a bit. My husband bought regular cc instead

of lf and I could get skim milk instead of 2%. I try not to eat too many

processed foods, so lf salad dressing is out; guess I'll just have to have

salads plain. Besides all that, where am I going wrong?

Exercise was 20 min. on bike--for me, that's a great start.

So tomorrow I'm going to try to do UB. Do I have to warm up with aerobic

first or could I just do stretches?

I'll keep you posted on how it goes. Thanks for all your help.

P.S. Where is these days? Hope he's well.

Val,

Thanks for asking for me. I'm doing well. I'm happy to hear you are

back in the swing of things.

I've been really busy with a number of work related projects lately and

haven't had time to do much other than my exercises and occasionally

catch up on my reading of everyone's emails.

Also, I have been doing a little heavier travel load than normal and

that always confuses my schedule. But... I am here. Slipping a bit on

my progress (weight wise), but, I am holding the size and still growing

some muscle. ...Look out Brett and " Govenator Arnold " .

Remember...

Progress, not perfection!
