Day 6

Well, it has almost been a full week. So far, I feel sort of pampered. I am eating great stuff that tastes great. I have been drinking small amounts of wine most days and eating a single chocolate ball. But, today for lunch I made broiled portabello mushrooms, green beans fresh from the garden with small white potatoes, sliced tomatoes, and a slice of pineapple for dessert. For dinner, I fixed an onion, green pepper and tomato omelet with a piece of toast. Also had a snack of blueberries and a small amount of cheese with my wine. Total calories: 1250.

The only problem is that it takes a little more planning as I am not in the habit of cooking this way. It is soooo much easier for me to bar-b-q chicken in the oven and bake a potatoe, then steam some veggie to go with it.

Tom & I joined the YMCA today and played racquetball. We only lasted about 25 minutes on the court. We were going to keep playing, but I accidentally hit him really hard with the ball on the corner of his goggles (thank God he was wearing them), knocking them off his head and causing his head to bleed in two places! I felt horrible that I had hurt him and we quit for the day. I was planning to go back this evening for a swimming class, but lost motivation after I got home. I think my current strategy for doing exercise early each day is going to work best for me. That way, I can just relax in the evenings.
