Weight for Success

I was reasonably faithful to my diet over the weekend, but I didn’t post because I was so busy. I went to a “dinner” to honor the 99th birthday of Ronald Reagan and skipped all the carbs including a cheesecake. But I felt really good going home knowing I’d been able to control my eating.

So back to recording (I promise to post every day this week on the food journal).

Breakfast	1 hard boiled egg 3 pieces of sliced ham I was late leaving the house so NO COFFEE! How will I make it through the day?
Snack #1	1 cup strawberries (I love strawberries!)
Lunch	Roast pork loin on top of a salad 2 cups of lettuces 1 roma tomato cucumber dressing
Snack #2	1 Laughing Cow cheese package and 2 pieces of celery
Dinner	1 cup red pepper soup steamed broccoli 6 ounces of baked cod
Dessert	1/2 cup sugar free jello — lime — mixed with 1/2 cup part skim ricotta

Normally I love Saturdays and I use them to pick up around the house, catch up with friends and relax. But alas, it’s the onset of tax season and I’m spending today tearing apart old tax forms and shredding all the paperwork that I get during the year that I don’t need.

I honestly had no idea how much junk I receive and how much of that I save — until now. My “shredding” pile is two feet high and still I’m pulling out things like credit card statements (sent to me even when the balance is $0) and bank statements.

My New Year’s resolution was to lose weight, but I should have added paperwork as well as a goal. What do you do with all this paper? There should be some viable use for it once it is all shredded.
