 Day 2

6 Week Diet and Fitness Program

Day 2 started off the same as day 1, with 2 cups of coffee and a mid-morning bowl of oatmeal with 2% milk.  I also had a bowl of watermelon.  After yesterday's non-exercise day, I tried

to figure out a way to add in some exercise to my day without the dreaded , "I have to go work out now" part. 

So, I decided that every time I went into the kitchen, I would do 10 pushups.  Typically I prepare my oatmeal and then bring it into the office to eat.  This required two trips to the kitchen (and 20 push ups).  So, I think I will be eating my meals in the kitchen from now on!

Also, I changed my rules so that I only do push-ups if I am getting something to eat.  I.e. if I am refilling my water glass---no push-ups.

Total calorie intake was 1392, including a small piece of apple pie.  Below is a summary of the food calories:

2 cups coffee w/creamer 50

Oatmeal w/2% milk 260

Cereal w/2% milk 250

Broiled chicken breast: 350

1/2 cucumber 15

Salad 0

Dressing  60

Tomatoes  20

Apple pie/ice cream  350

Watermelon 37

Total 1392

Since it was July 4'th, I did not do any exercise, except for the push-ups every time I went into the kitchen.  Maybe tomorrow the exercise part will happen!!

Fruit and vegetables are great things to eat when you are dieting!  Lots of vitamins, nutrients and NOT a lot of calories.
