Sept 22

I've definitely gained some weight since I went off Nutrisytstem. Yesterday I watched it pretty much.

Food eaten today--so far: breakfast, oatmeal with dried fruit; after the gym, 1 pm--a few grapes, hard-boiled egg; mid-afternoon, granola bar; dinner: salad, 1 serving potatoes, small fruit salad, corn bread. Still hungry.

Plan of attack

Fact: It's not a question of losing weight. Or maintaining my (not ideal) weight. I am gaining weight, which makes me unhappy. This will not stop of itself, so I need a plan I can live with to lose weight.

Definite plans:

1. Weigh myself and put the numbers on this site.
2. Plan meals I can live with, including making the best choices when eating out. Favor fish, salad, an omelet (no carbs), small serving of meat.
3. Avoid dessert.
4. Avoid late-night eating. This is my biggest problem.
5. Snacks should consist of protein.

Possible ideas to consider:

1. Going to the gym twice a day--1 hour after lunch.
2. Going to gym for a late night swim.
3. Get personal trainer.
4. Take yoga or Pilates lessons.
