Declaring the "Mostly No sugar" week

Well- the "No sugar" week did not go quite as planned.
The warm brownie with a dollop of fresh cream beckoned and was obliged-sigh!
But on the positive side, burned 360 calories on the Wii fit plus.
All time favorites are Hula hoops and advanced step both fun and motivating.
Target for today:
350 calories atleast.
Dinner menu :
Since the fried okra did not make it to the dinner table, its back on the menu for tonight.
Alongwith chicken curry!
And salad.

Break the addiction:

Atleast the rest of the week-4 days precisely
-No brownies-not even the crumbs
-No icecream
-No raisin bread,however healthful still packed with sugar
-And none of that extra sweet fresh pineapple

Instead,
-toasted bread and poached eggs for bf
-left over grilled turkey patties and asparagus for lunch
-okra and lentils for dinner

And 300 calories on the Wii-thats the goal.

Battle of the bulge-enter Wii fit +

Opened and set up my profile-wii fit age= 52 -Yikes!!
.
Wii fit trainer tried to dissuade me-but I persevere.
Tried the running for 10 mins- 3 mins into it and I had my 2 little boys beside me  pumping their arms and legs in a flurry of motion kicking up a storm of carpet fibers!

Battle of the bulge.

Countdown begins : 114 days to go

Day 1
Got the Wii Fit plus into my arsenal. Lets see how it goes.
The goal is to cut down on the junk and to get moving and to think "positive"
I should probably add "South Beach Diet" to the arsenal-worked great 3 years ago but all the wt lost came back with a vengeance and more.....


Looks like this battle goes way back.....
