Game On Diet: Update #3

I just completed my third week on the Game On plan and things are beginning to fall into place now. The five mini meals seem more like regular meals to me and the exercise is becoming a habit. I stalled this week as far as weight loss even though I did everything else that I was supposed to do. I had such large losses during the first two weeks that I think my body is adjusting now.

On a happier note, I am down two sizes! Now that’s something to celebrate. As we head into our last week, the Ding Dongs are hoping to reign supreme over those Twinkies and Ho Hos. Can we do it? I think so!

I was thinking the other day that I could eat this way normally. It has finally clicked for me and it doesn’t really seem like work. It’s just common sense really and the team part makes it fun and keeps you honest. Some of you have said that you are starting your own teams. If so, I would love to know how you are doing!

I am posting this early so I have yet to find out how our team did as far as scores for the week but I am hoping that we came out on top. I will post a comment to this post if that is the case.

The Sunday Salon: Update and a Surprise!

What I’m Doing

I just got back from taking my walk and let me tell you, it is hot out there! Whew! For lunch we are heading over to a friend’s house for Carne Asada (grilled beef) and swimming. That will be nice.

Right now I am reading Fear The Worst and Ugly Man. I am liking both but they are completely different reads and Ugly Man is very, very different. I should be reviewing Ugly Man later this week.

What I Did

I reviewed three books this week, Netherland, The Art of Racing in the Rain and The Blue Notebook. I also guest posted over at She is Too Fond of Books for her Spotlight on Bookstores series. It’s been a busy week.

I survived another week of the Game On Diet. I will post an update tomorrow. Will the Ding Dong reign supreme? I’m certain they will. Go Ding Dongs!
