Day One Hundred and Eight
Dispite a long week at work, I feel like I am doing really well on the diet today. I finally started a little exercise back today. I know this sounds crazy, but I still don’t feel 100% over the bronchitis. All I did today was some pushups, and I only did 25. I am probably going to do 40 tomorrow.
My South Beach Diet meal journal for the day is as follows:
- Breakfast – One serving of Uncle Sam cereal with a cup of ff milk, one small turkey sausage, and one tomato. The fresh tomatoes are almost gone; I sure dread it.
- Mid-morning snack – Two boiled eggs.
- Lunch – Three small chicken breasts, one cup of green peas, and 1/2 a cup of white beans.
- Mid-afternoon snack – One apple with two tablespoons of natural peanut butter.
- Supper – One bowl of soup. I really, really wanted a second bowl, but I resisted.
- Mid-evening snack – I haven’t had this yet, and I may not. If I do, it will be a cup of ff, plain yogurt with lemon Jello powder and flax seed. I may even add some blueberries.
- Miscellaneous – I had plenty of water today and only one cup of white tea.
Tomorrow is the crux of the last two weeks of work. I have a second important meeting Friday, but tomorrow is the big one. I am really ready to get this week behind me. Unfortunately (or perhaps fortunately since I have a job), I get one week of rest and then it all starts back again. The next busy spell is only for one week though. After that, I don’t have to deal with these issues again for a year.



Hey Steve, it doesn’t sound crazy at all that you are not feeling 100% yet. Bronchitis is NO fun! And it does some damage to your lungs and bronchial (sp?) tubes. Take your time, get back in the swing of things very slowly. You will get there!
I am glad that your work is slowing down for a little bit. I am ready for a break, but mine won’t come till we get the new dispatcher trained up. I might take a few days off then.

You can say that again. I think it will help once work slows down a bit. I think we are both ready for a break.
