Update for July 14, 2006  

Today was the first day of my 12 week challenge.  I started of the morning with 10 of each my exercises.  Push-ups, Sit-ups, 4 count Jumping Jacks, and Squats.  I also kept track of everything that I ate today.  I did not get a chance to walk today, so I guess I will be walking every day for the rest of this week.  I also had my Salad today.  I probably ate a bit more than I should have, but what I did eat was fairly good.

Breakfast:

10 oz glass of orange/carrot juice.

Oatmeal with apple cinnamon tea bag and Equal

Snack:

Peanuts

Lunch:

Shrimp fried rice with brown rice, shrimp, carrots, onion and garlic.

One head of Romaine lettuce with 2 Tbs dressing.

 

Afternoon snack:

One half of a wrap with chicken, lettuce, sun dried tomatoes and a bit of vinaigrette dressing.

Dinner:

Home made vegetable beef soup with fresh green beans, cauliflower, garbanzo beans, and so on.

One Kiss sized bite of chocolate.

Cooking Tip of the day.

At work instead of buying the pre-made packages of oatmeal, I add a bag of apple cinnamon tea (which I keep on my desk) to hot water or milk and seep the tea. Add quick oats to the “tea” and microwave about 30 seconds, and then stir. Then microwave 20 seconds at a time.
