Wow...

that's all I have to say for the last few weeks. First I get a nasty bug that won't go away and turns into a sinus infection, this infects not just my brand new eating habits but also my exercise routine. Then I went out for my friends birthday and got violently sick on top of losing my phone!!! It has been such a very upsetting two weeks, but I am working on getting back on schedule. I just finished a Pilates video and it nearly kicked my butt!!!! I am also working on reading Georgette Heyer's Faro's Daughter; it's very good so far, from the same period as Jane Austen which is the big draw for me. I'll let you know how it does....

The end of two weeks of dieting

Congratulate me, I have just completed two weeks of dieting!!! I have celebrated by modifying my Slim-Fast intake; for the next two weeks I will be having TWO sensible meals instead of just one and replacing one meal with a Slim-Fast shake or bar. I began with breakfast this morning. The picture below shows a stuffed french toast recipe from Hungry Girl 1-2-3, called "overstuffed peanut butter 'n banana french toast". Yes, it is as delicious as it looks.
I'm feeling slightly discouraged on the exercise front, though. I read somewhere that it takes four weeks for you to noticed any change in your body and I'm trying  to keep that in mind but at the halfway point it's really frustrating.
  It didn't help that today my boss ordered Chinese food. I think I got something pretty healthy, chicken with Chinese veggies and steamed rice, but still I probably should have just not gotten anything and eaten the salad that I had packed.
  Oh well, tomorrow is another day. Maybe I'll try making a homemade taco salad....
