Pounds Lost: 3
Pounds to go: 14.5
Confessions
STILL NO FREAKIN' EXERCISE!!! I cheated by counting shoveling the driveway and building Vanessa's snow slide as exercise this week. I don't know what it is, but something is just keeping me from doing it. Also, last night I ate 1/4 of a Marie Calendar's chocolate satin pie. It doesn't sound like much, but it definitely is.
What Worked
Sticking to my food plan. Here is what I have been eating every day:
Breakfast (between 8:00 and 9:00)
1 bowl of bran flakes with very vanilla soy milk
Lunch (12:00)
Peanut butter and honey sandwich
Snack (3:00)
apple or an orange
Dinner (between 5:30 and 6:00)
Some sort of fish (salmon or pollock, which is really cheap)
Rice or potatoes
Some kind of vegetable
Snack (8:00)
1 square of Seattle's Best milk chocolate & cappuccino crunch bar (it's decaf)
Throughout the day, I drink about 60-80 oz of water with the Crystal Light stuff.
Another thing that worked was getting an elbow jammed in my butt and then having my butt shocked for 15 minutes. I'm going to physical therapy for my sciatica and it is working wonders.
Goals
The place I'm going to for physical therapy has a gym that I have full access to, so this week I plan on going in and working out before my sessions. Hopefully that will give me the boost I need on my exercise problem.
Good luck everyone!

I think it takes a few weeks to get into a "groove" of healthy living, and it sounds like you are hitting your "groove"! You have developed an eating plan, and are working on healing your back. I don't think you should be too hard on yourself about the exercise until your back has improved. The gym sounds like a great benefit to the physical therapy! Keep up the good work!
i'm so excited you are getting physical therapy! and that it's working! hooray!
okay, so, maybe i should get on the "MATT" diet! you're still dropping three pounds a week! but i can see why - those are some great eating choices and you are doing awesome at sticking by them. keep it up!!
p.s. lisa! i got your message and have been trying to find a decent little chunk o' time to call you back (when i can talk w/o being interrupted!) hopefully that happens today! thanks for the call!
Sweet dude! Not about the elbow in the butt though, unless it helps, then I guess that is sweet too! I can't believe how disciplined you are in your eating!!! I need to follow your lead!
