First off I would like to acknowledge that Haroon Siddiqui, of Toronto Star, has written a belated but first rate article on the horrific, endemic rape of women issue in India. I urge all to read the column. He had to write it to maintain credibility when writing a positive story on his native India.
Back to the challenge. I have lost nearly 14 pounds. For the first time today I had to let in my belt buckle in to keep my pants up, while walking home. I am past the 1/3 mark, closing in on half way for the initial challenge. The eating well and exercise will continue, after I allow moderate alcohol intake. I want to end the binge drinking.
I can feel the difference. I would grade myself as an A overall.
(A+) in the no alcohol area.
(A) in exercise. I have exercised each day, occasionally ran on the treadmill and lifted weights. I might be able to increase the pace a bit.
(A) on the food intake. No fries, no pizza, not takeout. At the recommendation of M, I have made my own salad dressing. I have had 3-4 lunches that may have cheated a bit. Just ate too much bread, or pasta once or twice.
I may be a little hard on myself, overall I have been pretty good. Not easy to walk outside in the brutal cold this week and next week will be even worse.
