So, my life has been turned a little upside down by Elly's Christmas gift to me: a personal trainer. Part of the package is meal-planning, which is something I've never even thought about trying until now. The whole process has been tremendously educational (and horrifying) for me.
I'm now eating six meals a day, which sounds good, but when those meals all range from 300 to 500 calories and contain virtually no condiments, sauces, processed sugars, etc, it is not all good. I must admit, I feel a whole lot better after eating like this for the past two days. I will keep it up for at least another month and see how it changes things ("things" being my dad gut). But the worst part of it for me right now is the fact that my favorite Vic's beverage, a 16 oz. mocha latte has almost as many calories as one of my six meals. Dang.

December 10th, 2005 at 08:58 AM If you can only eat one and they are the size of a robin's egg then Christmas cookies are okay. However, if they look like the ones I have made in anticipation of your visit, they are not okay. I can hide them or give them away if they will be a temptation.
December 10th, 2005 at 08:59 AM Good job Doug and great idea Elly. Keep up the good work.
December 28th, 2005 at 08:08 AM dude, i did the same thing for a while when I was training.. and man oh man.. it sucked for a bit, but it made me feel awesome... and it kickstarted my body to start eating itself.. in a good way. i wish mr. miyagi wasnt dead.. because here in okinawa, he could come kick my butt into shape.
