Curent Weight 244.6

I have to admit that is not too shabby.  I didn't do anything over Christmas break.  I am slightly worried that  I may have lost muscle.  I have lost stamina for sure!  After 2 consecutive surgeries I have been unable to work out.  And after a year of working out 45 minutes per day, 5 times a week, I feel rather sluggish.  It's been 3 months since I last hit the gym.  Looking forward to beginning my workouts again soon.

Breakfast: 3 homemade banana oatmeal muffins (sugar free! made with applesauce)
Lunch: 1L bottle of Coke Zero, 2c. assorted greens, 2tbs Newman's own garlic dressing, 2 slices rosemary onion bread (homemade by Lisa - thx hun!), banana oat muffin
Supper: 3c. romaine lettuce, 2 small tomatoes, 3tbs. raspberry vinaigrette, 1/2c. roasted soy nuts
Snack: 2 macaroons, 30 green grapes, 1/2c. yogourt

Sunday January 8th...

We got a super cool popcorn popper for Christmas.  The Waring professional.  I've been enjoying lots of popcorn the last couple of weeks.  I must admit that although it is very yummy, I'm finding myself craving junk food far more than I was when eating corn-free.  It may be all in my head, but I doubt it.

Most of the Christmas goodies are now gone.  Sadly into (or more specifically ONTO) my belly.  However I know I can get back on track.  The Corn Effect was really working for me.  And I want to start fresh.  I still have to prepare.  I need to shop.

In case you forgot; here is a list of things to look for on grocery store labels:
-Dextrose
-Glucose
-Dextrin
-Maltodextrin
-Lecithin (unless it states Soy specifically)
-Fructose
-High Fructose Corn Syrup (or HFCS)
-Vegetable Starch
-"thickeners"
-"sweeteners"
-Corn Syrup
-Vegetable Oil
-Vegetable Oil Shortening
-Maize
-Sorbitol

I'll post my meals and any cool recipes I find.  And my weight tomorrow.  Cheers!
