Day 80 and Little Embarrased

I recently received a letter from Lucy of DailyBread365.com asking if I would be interested in writing an update of my progress since starting with DB365.  As you can see from the title of this article I have been receiving the DB pages for nearly three months I must admit that I have very little progress to report in the weight loss arena, in fact this morning I got on the scale and discovered a ten pound gain since my last weigh-in at the doctors a few weeks ago.  However, let me qualify that statement a bit.  First I don’t normally weigh myself anymore.  As noted the earlier weigh-in had been mandatory at my annual exam.  The second had been also mandatory, following surgery yesterday for the removal of my gall bladder.  I’m chalking up the drastic jump to the three or four bags of saline they had pumped into me in the last 24 hours.

By Allan Jeffrey Allen jeffreyIf you frequently find yourself away from home at mealtimes, then you most likely find yourself in situations where you have limited options for food choices. It is possible to achieve a goal of eating healthy on the run as long as you know what to choose if you are in airports or other places where fast food is your only option. Even when you think there is no possible way that you can make a healthy food choice, with a little thought, it is possible. Many restaurants are notorious for their high calorie, high fat fare. You can either choose to carry your own food with you, or you can take your chances with available restaurants and fast food eateries. The main thing to remember is to keep to your resolve of eating healthy on the run: 1. Pack your own light or fat free snacks to go. You can carry fruit, crackers, whole wheat bagels and even some cut up veggies with you to munch on when you need to eat. 2. Order a salad. Opt for grilled meat or no meat. Order a light or fat free dressing if available. If not, skip the dressing. Avoid extra condiments unless you know them to be low fat, low calorie options. 3. Choose lean meat subs with low fat cheese and mustard instead of mayo. To make it particularly satisfying, add extra veggies. 4. Order a grilled chicken sandwich sans the mayonnaise and cheese. Both mayo and cheese add tons of fat as well as more calories than you want to intake. Skip the fries also. 5. Look for choices such as fruit cups, side salads or plain veggies to supplement a low fat meal, or as substitute for high fat, high calorie options.
