Day 6 - A New Scale

Chicken and asparagus for dinner tonight.
The mess in the background is all the stuff we
should be cleaning but don't have time to because
we're busy not eating.

New adjusted weight, taken on our new digital, backlit, ergonomic, eco-friendly, gastronomic, low sodium, high fiber, reduced calorie, California emissions safe scale: 218.8 lbs
Goal: 190 lbs

While obviously I did not drop 7 lbs overnight, we're on a solid track with the new scale.  It has all sorts of fancy features, not the least of which being the ability to accurately report the same weight when I step back on it a second time.

Breakfast today:
Plain fried egg
Green tea
Grapes

These breakfasts are getting a wee bit monotonous, but at least they're filling.  We skipped breakfast a lot in the past, so monotony is an improvement for us.

Lunch:
Leftover healthy chicken soup
Orange

Dinner:
Chicken thighs, generously covered in spices
Asparagus w/ oil & lemon

Meals weren't too rough today, though we're a bit peckish now.  My wife is currently whipping up a tasty bowl of Indian yogurt dip and cutting some veggies to go with it.  Yes, we're really at the point where yogurt + spices + vegetables is a tasty snack.

This weekend we're planning to try to get more active.  The 17 day plan is to get two 15 minute sessions of light exercise a day.  Unfortunately, for the tiny minority of us that have to work during the day, have no treadmill in the house and are surrounded by snow piles the size of the national debt, this isn't terribly practical.  So I'm planning to go snowshoeing on Sunday, and we will possibly get a decent walk or two in tomorrow.
