Fitness Plan Journal:
- Went to bed at midnight last night. I woke up at 8:50 AM physically feeling pretty good, weighing in at 106.0 pounds.
- I ate breakfast at 9:40 AM: 24 Kellogg’s Frosted Mini Wheats, Bite Size, with 1/2 cup Kroger 2% milk, and felt satisfied afterward.
- I was thirsty at 10:30 AM, so I drank 8 oz. water and my thirst was quenched.
- I was hungry again by 11:00 AM and ate the last 1/2 cup Kroger small curd cottage cheese, and was just satisfied, so I drank 4 oz Kroger 2% milk and felt full.
- I was hungry again by 1:10 PM. After fixing lunch for my son and myself, I ate a sandwich at 1:25 PM consisting of: 2 slices Private Selection (Kroger’s “posh” brand) sliced Genoa salami, 1 1/2 slices Private Selection hand crafted Provolone cheese, 2 slices S. Rosen’s dark Jewish unseeded rye bread, 1 Tbsp Kroger Classic mayonnaise, and 1 tsp Plochman’s mild yellow mustard, after which I felt satisfied.
- At 2:30 PM I felt very thirsty, so I had 8 oz. water and felt better.
- At 7:55 PM, I was babysitting, and I had a glass of chocolate milk, 2 slices of pizza, a piece of gum, and some SweetTarts.

Thoughts and Observations:
- Bedtime certainly better than the night before, although I think most nights I’d like to aim for 11:00 PM.
- I forgot to bring the baby monitor upstairs with me when I went to bed last night, so I didn’t hear my son until about 8:45 this morning. I feel like such a bad mom! I haven’t been getting him out of his crib right when he wakes up for DAYS.
- I’m still not sure why I’m losing weight. I’ll have to look closer at this whole week’s worth of journal entries.
- I find it pretty difficult to avoid snacking when people around me are snacking (especially snacks that are less-than-healthy) — for instance, the kids I was babysitting.
- I thought it bore mentioning that I try to be as thorough as possible when describing what I’m eating. This is why I include the brand name, type, amount, etc. I am not receiving payment or reimbursement of any kind from any of these brands, manufacturers, distributors, etc. I feel it is my obligation to you, as my readers, to provide you with all the information that I have.
Edited to add: I didn’t realize this was still unpublished. This was for the day of Tuesday, January 13, 2010. Sorry!
