Week One/ Day Two

7:26 AM
Wow.  Even after the ice cream and eating close to 2000 calories yesterday, I was down TWO and A HALF pounds when I weighed this morning.

I wonder sometimes about certain diet claim... like how just taking a couple tablespoons of vinegar before a meal, will help you lose weight.  I was thinking of that when I ate that huge salad last night and used nothing but vinegar (pickle juice) and sprays of canola oil (with a packet of sweetener) for my dressing.

Coffee time.  (40)

Breakfast:  Oatmeal (160) with half a cup of milk (65)
Before going to work:  10 oz sirloin steak   (575)
Snack: Banana (105)
Supper: Marie Callender's Beef Tips in Mushroom Sauce (310)
Snack:  Apple (75) and Snack of a few bites of Sesame Seed almonds (about 40)
and a lemon drop (12)

Can of tomatoes, okra and corn, with some cheese on top   veggies(150) cheese (50)
Powdered drink mix added to my water (15)

About 1600 calories so far.... but I still want something to eat.  

I went by Food-4-Less and bought me some celery, carrots, radishes, lettuce, green pepper.   I guess I'll go get me a stick of celery.   I always like celery more than I think I will when I think about eating it.

I rode my exercise bike about 7 minutes this morning.  I'm trying to be careful.  It's a good thing I am.  I was afraid even that might have been too much later on in the day at work because one of my knees acted like it was going to go out on me.  But I made it.
