Day 254
Goal 1: ACHIEVED! Goal 2: ACHIEVED! Goal 3: ACHIEVED! Goal 4: ACHIEVED! Goal 5: ACHIEVED! Goal 6: In progress...
Weight: 208.4
Breakfast: 3 Yogurts, 2 packs of oatmeal, 1 banana,1 cup of orange juice, 2 cups of coffee, 1/2 12 oz. Starbucks caramel Frappucino (w/o whipped cream)
Lunch: 1/2 Strawberry poppy seed and chicken salad, 1/2 BBQ chicken flat bread,1 apple from Panera bread.
Snack: 1 Peach.
Dinner: 1 Healthy Choice TV dinner (Meatloaf), 1 cup of orange juice.
Miscellaneous: 3 bottled waters, 2 diet iced teas.
Estimated Calories: 1750
Exercise: 3.6 hours of walking.
I screwed up again and had a Starbucks Frappucino. Screwing up two days in a row is not good! Though in my defense, someone had an extra and offered it to me. I should have turned it down but I guess having half is better than the whole thing! I also would have liked to drink more water, but we ran out of bottled water.
Goal 1: ACHIEVED! Goal 2: ACHIEVED! Goal 3: ACHIEVED! Goal 4: ACHIEVED! Goal 5: ACHIEVED! Goal 6: In progress...

Thanks for all your words of encouragement. I'm loving the broccoli and the fruit also
. Of course I tend to eat more fresh fruit/veggies in the Spring/Summer months. It's a good thing we're not on one of those weight-loss shows given some of the stuff they do,lol .

Sadly, nope. The closest one is 2 and a half hours away. I've eaten there many times when visiting my brother though. Delicious!
