This is Karen, posting for Bethany again. She did come by this evening but didn't have time to post herself and she wanted to get in her exercise before she had me post for her. She stayed completely on her plan today and she got in all her strength training and her walking. When she came by, I had her to undress to weigh in and you can see that even though her missing clothes explain part of the loss, she is already down at least 3 pounds of fluid just after being on the plan for two days. The total loss so far, including the clothes, is 6 pounds. I'm VERY proud of her and her seeing the scale moving has motivated her even more to stick to the plan. She and I spent some time this evening working on her meals plans and her shopping list. I think she will be set for a while when she grocery shops tomorrow. She is struggling a bit with the water goal but she is working hard at increasing it every day. Her goal is 140 ounces per day. She almost made it yesterday but was a little behind this evening. Of course, she just got in her exercise tonight and that will help her get in the rest of the water. Her food for today looked like this.
Breakfast:
2 eggs, scrambled
1 slice whole wheat toast
1 tsp margarine
1 tsp grape jelly
Lunch:
1/2 can tuna
1/2 boiled egg
1 tbsp light mayo
1 tbsp relish
2 slices whole wheat bread
Dinner:
4 ounces baked chicken breast
1 cup whole wheat spaghetti
1/2 cup marinara sauce
1 slice whole wheat toast
1 tsp margarine

She will be coming back by here tomorrow and I will help her with more food plans. I will also teach her more about using blogger herself. She will have internet at her house soon so she can do her own blogging. Thanks to those who are following her. I know she appreciates it.
Karen, standing in for Bethany for now.
I have arrived and am hungry for some of that chicken w/ whole wheat pasta; have any leftover?
ReplyDeletePatrick, you would love it. It is their own version of Chicken Parmesan. They grill the chicken instead of breading it and frying it and then bake it all together in a casserole dish. It is good but I don't do much pasta myself. Bethany will be here soon to see your comment. :)
ReplyDeleteBethany.. welcome!!
ReplyDeleteBethany, so glad you could join us in the blogging world; come on in, the water is just fine :)
ReplyDeleteYou are a very lucky lady to have such a wonderful person behind you and that is your mom and my friend, Karen. You may not know this but she has inspired so many people with her overall and continued success. Not only that but she is one of my fav. blogs to read. She is an amazing woman and a true inspiration to those around her. I am sure she was kind enough to pass on some of those traits to you ;) so I'm sure you'll do just fine. The best of luck to you and I see you have already had some success. Congrats!
Thanks everyone for the welcome. I hope to get to know everyone better. Yes Joy I agree I love my mom very much.
