257.0

Not the best week. I was up to 258.6 at one point. I did throw away some sweets and prepared good lunches. Too much snacking after school.

I'm re-reading the Anderson Method. It looks like I need to stay at 800 calories for 5 days and 1150 calories for 2 days each week. I didn't remember it being quite that strict. I need to get into the mode of "undereating" and "fasting."

My normal breakfast of 2 slices of bread + peanut butter and milk is 500 calories! I should go back to oatmeal, or 1 slice of toast. Lots of veggies. Fruit, lean meat. No snacks. No eating between meals. I did it before (summer and fall of 2015) and it worked.

Today:
toast, p.b., milk
chicken, baked potato
broccoli soup?

258.0

Happy New Year! Fresh start. Positive attitude. Time to do something positive about my health. Time to be an active, positive 60-year-old instead of a lazy, unhealthy slug. Time to plan and prepare and follow through. Time to follow the Anderson Method again. Time to be proud of myself and my actions. Time to turn things around.

Motivation--

• Look at the Christmas photos of me. 
• Think of others' success: Wendy Pusey, Kathryn, Lindy, Veta, Beth McBride
• Less pain in my ankles, knees, hips.
• To wear nicer clothes and not just ones that fit, even if they are ugly. 

Plan for this week--

• Write down food to plan and after eating.
• Stop eating early in the evening.
• Give away/throw away Christmas food. Ignore the rest.
• Prepare soup, chicken for lunches and upper.
• Eat oranges.
• Count calories.
