Successful change in morning diet -

[Ed]

It has taken me some time but I have changed my morning diet of two doughnuts and two mountain dews - to water (with propel mix) and a granola bar.  That is a drop in nearly 1500 empty calories.

Now time to fight the junk lunch -

Not just a drop in calories, also an increase in quality nutrition. Good job.

I'm also working on cleaning up the diet a bit. Yesterday after work, I went out and picked 18 cherry tomatoes from the back yard. Had 11 as an evening snack and the other 7 as a morning snack at work today.

oatmeal is always a good stanby as well.

good job Ed, when you get to dropping the afternoon soda (assuming you have one of those) let me know how you do that... at least I drink diet cola (no calories)...

I'm not much of a breakfast eater... I usually have a protein bar and a pot of decaf tea at work at about 9:30... oh, I usually get up at 5:30... even in the summer when I got up at 4:45 and ran I still wasn't hungry till about 9 AM...

I slipped but am back on a better morning diet.  I almost kicked the soda habit entirely then it got me back with a vengence.  I guess I need to titrate myself off of the evil caffiene.

A medication change has me a little off kilter - bad energy, very grogy in the AM etc . . but things are improving there - I guess my body chemistry is adjusting now.

Rita- by the way I was drinking about 4-5 20 Oz Dews a day.  I had it down to one 12 Oz can but went back up to 4 bottles.  Now I am down to 2 20 Oz bottles and going to cut that (slowly) to one bopttle and one can.  Then one bottle then one can.  If I do this more slowly than last time I should be successful.
