It has been 4 days...down 2 pounds to 237 this morning.
I have cut my sugar consumption drastically and I have to admit I crave it more than you can believe.

Today my intake was not terrible but not prefect. I had plenty of water, no milk, no pop, no juice. Just water. Breakfast was bacon and eggs. YUM. I did not eat the pancakes because I did not want to have the syrup. The pancakes them self's had a bit of sugar, 5g a serving. I also finished the other half of (B)'s banana. For a snack I  had an orange and a nice salad for lunch. The salad was spinach, kale, grape tomatoes, carrots, celery, cucumber, and a small amount of shredded cheese. I added the cheese because I do not use any salad dressings so I thought a small amount would add some flavor. A piece of french bread with butter. I did not have a afternoon snack, since lunch was around 2pm. For dinner was coconut chicken with sweet potato fries, corn, and another piece of the french bread with butter. That way the bread was gone before it dried out. I just finished a ham and cheese sandwich and a clementine.

My activities today included 35 minutes at the pool with (E) and (B). He loves getting out of the apartment. (E) and I tried a workout routine that I saw from a Biggest Loser episode. This was a long time ago but it just seemed to stick in my brain. You take a deck of cards and decide what workout to do with a curtain suit. For example, Clubs = prisoner squats, Spades = sit up, diamonds = leg lifts, hearts = push up. Shuffle the deck and what ever number in on the card is how many reps you do. 2 of hearts was 2 push ups. I made it only ten cards before I had to call it. Pretty week but hey it is a start. A bit after that I went for a 30 minute walk. I was on my way back when a car wanted through the intersection I was crossing. So I decided to jog the rest of the way back. It was not far and maybe only lasted 3 minutes. But I was sure winded.

I watched a great video today. I have to give my sister a high five for sharing on fb.
Here is the link please take the ten minutes to watch it. Great information and I hope it gets everyone walking.
