work out

I worked out on the wii fit for 75 minutes today. I need to figure out what my goal minutes by 3/30. Doing longer work outs will give me a little wiggle room later if I have to miss a day or something.

Short Term Goal #1

When I think of how far I have to go, it is overwhelming. Instead I am going to set shorter termed goals. I have been on my part-time vegetarian diet since Sunday. I took an apple and some string cheese to work with me yesterday and that worked perfectly. Today I ate frittata and an avocado for breakfast. I was not hungry for the rest of the day. Wow. Tonight I am having salmon, carrots and zucchini stir fried, and a salad. If I get hungry later on tonight, I will finish the little bit of zucchini lasagna.

Anyway, the goal. To eat on my part-time vegetarian diet and work out on the Wii Fit everyday humanly possible from now until March 30. The reason I picked March 30 is because I hope to be meeting some other north Texas garden bloggers in Edom at the North Texas Garden Bloggers Hoe Down, which was my suggestion. Anyway, I would like to lose 2 pounds or a little more a week. If I can lose one pound every three days that would be 12 pounds by 3/30 bringing me down to 162. The goal really is the diet and exercise. The weight is just a wish.

Oh have worked out on the wii two days in a row and will do it again after dinner. 40 minutes.

I am Renaming this blog Diary of a Part Time Vegetarian

Yesterday I started a new plan. I am having horrible gastric problems and I have not been eating right. Part of my problem is that my loving husband likes to feed me. My mistake is feeding myself poorly. Since going back to work I have been eating more fast food and my stress level is up. I weight 174 this morning. So on the days Larry works I am going to eat a modified vegetarian diet. Fresh veggies, fish (not fish sticks), eggs, and low fat and small servings of regular cheese.

Yesterday I had a fresh salad, salmon with chimmicurri sauce, zucchini lasagna.

When Larry is home I will eat the beef, chicken, pork, and pasta he makes. That will self limit my indulgences to three or maybe four meals a week. With each of those meals I will eat a salad. Lets see how this works.

Today I had string cheese, yellow squash with onion, curry, and sharp cheese. Tonight I will have salmon and a salad again.
