Walking for Wellness - Week 5

Hello there Adventurous Friends, this is where I'm keeping up with my eating & walking  activities in attempts to get my weight & cholesterol back down.  I got in 2 good walks this week & drank more coke than planned.  I noticed my wedding band & shoes are looser, not what I was thinking about, though it's something noticeable.

Here's my Plan:

• Eat smaller portions, take smaller bites, chew more 
  
• Eat varieties of all the foods I like & not deprive myself
• Eat a variety of fruits & vegetables, at least 1 fruit & 1 green vegetable a day
• Stop eating when full
• Walk more
• 1 small sweet a day, if any
• Drink more water
• No snacks after supper

* Sat

Breakfast - 1/2 of a single serving sausage & gravy pot pie & an egg, gave one egg to Rose

Lunch - bbq pulled pork sandwich & single serving pack of pringles chips, ate late & hungry, ate the whole sandwich instead of just 1/2 of it, was at the point of being overfull

Supper - none, still satisfied from eating a late lunch

Drink - one cup of coffee, water

Snack - popcorn, 2 dum dum suckers & 2 packs of fun size m&ms at bingo

Exercise - walk during break, dog walks

Didn't get in a veggie or fruit, that's how easy it is for me to not eat them

* Sun

Breakfast - sausage, egg & cheese sandwich, mine was no bread & no cheese, 1 piece of sausage, an egg & apple slices

Lunch - other 1/2  of leftover whopper burger & trail mix

Supper - meat, veggies, fruit, bread, pickled okra, carrot cake & chocolate ice cream provided by fellow Lions club member, good eats, ate too much though didn't overstuff

Drink - one cup of coffee, water, coke with supper

Exercise - not much except for dog walking just long enough for Rose to do her business

Coke for supper was comfort drink after long busy day at work, seems if I have a lot of coke one day then the next day I crave it.
