Normally, my goal is to write a scriptural truth. BUT....I am sharing my truth for today....

*I am fat (have gained TWENTY pounds since hurting my knee in June)
*I NEED to stop eating so much.
*I DID go to spin this morning.
*Jeremy's car is in the shop so he had to take mine to work.
*I can't get to work (not sad about this.
*I have a doctor's appointment at 2pm (might make it, might not).
*Our washing machine broken.
*I am going to try to fix the broken washing machine.
*Most of the clothes in the house are dirty (no car to go to the laundromat)
*The house is a wreck (good thing I can't go to work).......

Also, I happened to watch Dr. Oz last week and saw a show on a challenge he has put out there.. lose 10 pounds by the end of the year...So I am taking it....

It is a program to help ME and you, if you want. It is pretty basic. But weight loss is basic. Eat fewer calories than you burn. Simple right? Ha hahahahahah!
So I signed up for it. I copied and pasted the eating portion of the program below. He also says to take vitamin b6 and some kind of mango supplement. I will be checking that out too.

Anyhoooo......that is it for today!

Dr. Ro developed a diet plan that breaks down the foods you love into the serving sizes that will help you lose 10 pounds.
TASK #1
Know Your Serving Sizes

Each day, you get a total of 10 servings of the food you love, but the key is portion size. Here's your guide:
Proteins and Fats 4 Servings
1 serving of chicken = 1 breast (skinless)
1 serving of meat and fish = no larger than the palm of your hand
1 serving of beans = 1 cup
1 serving of cheese = the size of 2 dice
1 serving of olive oil = the size of a poker chip

Complex Carbohydrates 3 Servings
1 serving of spaghetti = the diameter of a quarter (measure dry)
1 serving of grains (like cous cous, rice and quinoa) = 1/2 cup uncooked; 1 cup cooked

Fruit 3 Servings
Whole fruits = the size of 1 scoop of ice cream
Berries = 1 cup

Vegetables Unlimited Servings
You should never be hungry during the Just 10 Challenge. Fill up on the fiber and nutrients found in your favorite vegetables.

Additionally, you can have dessert every other day. However, that dessert can be no bigger than the size of your hand.

Some Adjustments

So, the book says that day 2 is one of the hardest days. That was NO lie! I fought with myself all day. Going back and forth about allowing myself to eat. I was sooooo hungry. The popcorn in the children's dept at church was tantalizing! Sooooooooooooo....I finally decided to allow myself fruits and veggies for the rest of this craziness. Others were telling me how crazy I was to not be eating and still expect to be able to work out as usual. That made sense to me. I haven't found anything in the book about working out. As I am typing I am trying to get down my 32 oz. of salt water. I cannot describe how disgusting it is!!!!!!! What is causes is pretty disgusting too!!!!! For real!
I go to work today. I am going to take fruit and veggies with me and my oh so yummy lemonade concoction.
I have spin class today at 4:15. Woooooo Hoooooo!!!!!!!
Have a great day!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
