Mental Plan:
Took photos of myself - my goal: lose 15 pounds go from 195-180
lose fat around belly (the tire) and have a more lean chest/stomach area, when I lost 15 pounds 2 years ago
I loved the way I look. Along the way if I make any mistakes or miss a day, I'll just pick up where I left off.
Things I have to remind myself: Try for 30 chews per bite, drink water all day long (keep a bottom of water next to me at all times (I like to have lemon or lemon juice in it), try to keep it low on the carbs (bread is my weakness)
portions, portions portions, the way I know I'll see a big difference is all in the eating part of this plan = small portions (fist size)

May 7th - Let's try this again...

I'm going to try the body for life program again - it's the only program I've ever tried I can see actually using for the rest of my life, so here we go...

Day 31

Exercise all week -- NONE!
eating has been not terrible but not great. I was demotivated because I wasn't losing any weight and not looking very good either.

My portions are too big - and I'm sure those few days here and there were I went to eat and had a few drinks didn't help either.

so far today I had a shake, then egg-white omelete with chicken and a tortilla (maybe no more tortillas)
for lunch I'm going to go get korean food - probably a rice dish with vegetables.
