Magic Mondays

To clarify, I always start a diet on a Monday.  Why this is I’m not sure.   Perhaps it’s as simple as Monday being the start of a new week, signifies a fresh start.  Isn’t that what we all want, a fresh start?  It could also be true that I prefer indulging a little more on the weekends, in moderation.  To totally deprive yourself of the foods you love will guarantee failure.  I weigh in on Friday mornings, have a couple of treats on the weekend (in moderation) and start fresh again on Monday.  You may not agree, however, feel free to stick around and see if it works.  At the risk of stating the obvious, today is Wednesday.

Breakfast:     4 oz low fat ham
            ½ slice whole grain English muffin (toasted)
            1 medium orange

Lunch:           2 cups lettuce
            ¼ cup celery
            ¼ cup cucumber
            2 hard boiled eggs, sliced
            1 ounce cheddar cheese
            ¼ cup crunchy oriental noodles
            1 tbsp fat-free salad dressing

Snack:            1 cup strawberries

Dinner:          5 oz fish filet, grilled
                        1 cup broccoli, steamed
                        Pepper to taste

Snack:            1 medium orange
