Day 3 (mom)

Lunch (okay, several snacks all eaten within two hours of lunchtime):

Handful whole wheat pretzel sticks dipped in herbed goat cheese.

Handful raspberries

2 oz, give or take, roast mixed nuts

tall glass water (R., I noticed we aren't writing down water. We should.)

1 sugar cookie

Dinner, which I'm starting now, is going to be chicken enchilada with yellow zucchini and white rice.

Exercise:

Farm chores, regular plus watering the garden and trees (I have to lug jugs of water all over the property, so it counts as exercise) but that's it so far. I'd jump on the trampoline, but I'm afraid my little toenail will come off (it's hanging by a thread). So I guess I'll make a pledge to do 12 minutes on the elliptical! How about I add 2 minutes every night until I get up to 30?

Day 3 (mom)

Scale this morning showed 217. Weird. Maybe we need a better scale. 

Breakfast: 1 cup whole wheat cheerios, quad shot of espresso with cream. Probably I should eat some fruit. 

Note to daughter: About the pic you posted: pictures should show progress. Let's not let this degenerate into a flab-fest (by which I mean, let's not post any pictures for the purpose of showing how icky our fat is. That's not the point here.). Let me take some pics of you on the elliptical, or jumping on the trampoline, or doing weights, or something like that, okay?
