update

So now, the experiment with not eating meat is going well. The challenge is after using all my recipes to find something new to cook and eat.
The 200 abs are very difficult. So i am starting over, doing only 100 a day. To see if i hate it less.

Weight

I was 134.2 pounds this morning.

Challenge

I am so frustrated with my tummy... most of my overweight is there.
I decided for a week to do 200 abs a day on my balance ball. I think it will help. It is not drastic but helps starting a good habit.

Day 9

Today..2 small candy bars...7 layer dip and chips...Cauliflower gratin and home made Italian bread.
1 cup ice cream.

Little experiment

I like experiments teaching me good habits.
Here is one. Try a week without pop. See how you feel.
I am always surprise how fast a bad habit can be overpowered.

Grocery shopping

I find it very hard to go grocery shopping. The donuts isle, candy bars and chocolate. The chips isle...very tempting. It takes a lot of will power to pass them and not grab something.
I always try to go to the store with a full stomach. If i am hungry, there is no way i will not grab something and start munching. Also, it is OK to get something reasonable and small to reward yourself, as long as you are not going to the store too often.

Day 8

I slept in, so i had lunch...egg sandwich with grated pickle, tomato also in it...carrots and grapes...4 very small candy bars...Hawaii haystack for diner:

Green pepper
Green onions
Olives
Pineapple tidbits
Shrimp
Rice
Mushrooms
Tomato
Top ramen noodles
Gravy of choice

First goes the rice on your plate, then everything else with chopped veggies and small pieces of noodles.
The gravy is last. I made my own with the water from the warmed up shrimp, butter and the top ramen chicken stock envelope then flour to thicken.

How i feel...

I thought it would be harder to not eat meat. I don't have the desire to eat meat and actually notice that my appetite is not as strong. My stomach feels lighter all the time.
My problem area is my tummy and it looks like it is shrinking.
My little experiment is so far very interesting.

Yesterday

Yesterday i had ... 1 cup pudding...fish sticks and veggies....Diner at Red lobster....Sea food broccoli and rice...mango slush.

Today Day 7...2 Oatmeal cookies...grilled cheese sandwich ... carrots and apple.... Fish sandwich.
