Entry 10/16/08

Weight:
219.5 lbs. That is 2.39 lbs above my 2nd revised goal for this date. (Read earlier entries for a discussion of "2nd revised goal".) I started my first day of "calorie cycling" yesterday in an attempt to break this plateau I'm on. The idea is to consume more calories than normal for 1-2 days to kick up the metabolism a notch. Then reduce the calories below normal for a few days and continue this for several cycles. This use to work when I was younger but now at 61 I don't know if it will have the same effect. We'll see.

Meals:
Breakfast- Boiled egg, slice of whole wheat toast; coffee with creamer and Splenda and cocoa, 3 walnuts, 10z Resvinatrol (antioxidant), 1 oz of Joint Care(collagen, MSM, chondroitin, and glucosamine), DHEA tablet, 1 fish oil capsule, Centrum Silver Vitamin with minerals. One oz. of wine because more studies indicate that a small amount of acolhol daily is healthy

Lunch- 4 oz baked fish, red beans, spinach, green salad with extra tomato slices, ranch dressing and iced tea sweetened with Sweet&Low

Snack- Apple

Dinner- Spaghetti with meat sauce-about 1/2 cup of spaghettie and 3 cups of the sauce. Green salad with ranch dressing

Snack- few bite of meat sauce, 2 walnuts

Exercise: Nothing today. Couldn't fit it in. I know this is gonna hurt me on the scales in the morning. The purpose of this blog is not to present a model of perfection but to show you that you are not alone when the road blocks pop up in your own weight management loss effort.
