Here it is 60 days in and while I did share the supplements plan, I did not yet share the meal plan the personal trainer gave me at the Fitness Club in Auburn, WA.

The goal is to burn more calories than I consume by eating.  Before the meal plan was created, I wrote down everything I ate for a week and reported back to the personal trainer with the list.  I also answered a questionnaire to give her my food preferences.  She then used my history to create the future meals.  Thus I continued eating the way I did before, but with more specific quantities (and five meals!)

Here you go:

There are many more numbers on my menu.  Protein, Carbs, Fats, Calories.  Did not include all the details.  That would be too much exercise for my fingers.

As the weeks progressed, I replaced blueberries with strawberries and cashews with other nuts.  I did increase my cucumber and spinach intake on many days.  I love spinach and it was easy to give up split pea soup. 

As long the plan was met for five meals, there were very few times I have been hungry.  Alas, life is such that some days got out of control, skipped a meal and became famished.  You know what happened then.  Yep, it was make up time for food.  The trick is don't get hungry.  Eat before that.

The meal time has forced me to organize my schedule more tightly and improve on my brevity.  Too much talking would increase the chance of missing that meal!  

The calendar says 26 days left.  April 29th is the big bash. Want to come see the final weigh in?  You can throw food at me when I do my final weigh in!
