The plan for January

OK, now here is the plan for January - each day

1 glass regular v8
1 glass v8 lite blueberry
2 kiwi
a potato
a piece of slice cheese
1 can of spinach
a bag of broccoli
a piece of slice cheese
1 can of salmon
a potato
1 can of tuna
yogurt - which is kind of the desert of the day
lots of water

This diet ends up being 1225 calories, 17g of fat, 155g of cholesterol, 2900mg of Sodium, 160g of Carbs, 20g of Fiber, 62g of sugar, 82g of protein, 1023mg of Calcium, 6124mg of Potassium.

This is about 1/2 the protein I need in a day so I am going to do a protein supplement. This is about 1/2 of the RDA fat, about half the RDA of cholesterol, about 15% over what I need in Sodium, about 1/2 the carbs, pretty close to the fiber needed but I'm going to supplement that some, at 62g of sugar I'm above what I want of 40 but I'm not positive where to cut out just yet, Calcium is right on the money and I am high on potassium but that is ok as I'm fighting high blood pressure and more potassium helps offset sodium from what I understand.

Very basic which is what I am wanting.

Today's diet so far has consisted of

- water
- glass of V8 Lite Blueberry
- yogurt
- 1 can salmon w mustard


There is a NYE party I am going to tonight so trying to be very restrictive.

Back

Ok, I have to be back, unfortunately ...

I have, unfortuntely let myself go here in New Orleans, so back on the train I must get. When I say I fell off the train I know when I moved down to New Orleans in September I had gotten down to 228. I got up around 232 and pretty much stayed there until say Thanksgiving. I stopped caring and then today I got back on the scale and saw this.

So this, plus the realization that I don't want to be sick because of obesity like my family (who I have spent the last 7 days with), is it, the last day I hope to ever see 244 on the scale. My plan is this. Exercise 6 days a week, in some form. PLUS I am going to start eating better. I am a food cheater, I can have a plan but fall off the wagon pretty easily SO my plan is to do a very simple, restricted diet of the same thing, over and over. Basically taking the enjoyment out of food for 1 month. After January is over I plan on going back on weight watchers but I know at this point if I just tried to do WW it wouldn't work, I just don't have the discipline right now. I will in a diff blog post specify what this diet will consist of.
