I have a confession

I have a confession.  Emma Francis is fat.  Just two years ago, I was a normal weight and very active.  I had a very stressful year, and the result was a weight gain of about sixty pounds.  Yes, that is well over a couple of pounds a month.  I also had an injury so I couldn't workout which just compounded the problem.

It is time to do something about it.  So instead of just a household blog, I am going to add diet posts to this blog as well.  I am going to start the Dash Diet for a Younger You tomorrow.  I prefer this diet to their weight loss diet because the gold book has you eliminate all fruits the first week, and to me that sounds unhealthy.  I want to plan my meals today and start the diet tomorrow.

I also intend to add some exercise.  I recently had surgery so I will have to start slow with walking, but my goal is to walk every day.


Tomorrows meal plan:

Breakfast:
2 egg whites
1 slice whole wheat low calorie toast (I use pepperidge farm)
4 ounces of orange juice mixed with carbonated water

Lunch:
Hummus on pita with chopped cucumber and chopped tomato
chopped cucumber and tomato as a salad
strawberries

Dinner:
super quick chicken stirfry
1/2 cup white rice

snacks:
grape/pineapple
almonds
1 ounce cheese

I am going to a girls club so I plan to make kabobs with cheese, grape and pineapple on them.  This will count as my cheese and fruit as my snacks.
