Weight Loss: 01-10-2010

 “Don’t you know that you yourselves are God’s temple and that God’s Spirit lives in you?  If anyone destroys God’s temple, God will destroy him; for God’s temple is sacred, and you are that temple.” (1 Corinthians 3:16-17 NIV).  

Generic Meal Plan for Week Beginning 01-10-2010 

Vital signs:  Height 6 ft, Weight 194lbs,  Blood Pressure: 128/62,  Pulse: 73, Waist: 43 inches (slacks 38 x 32).

 

How do I feel: “I feel good”

 

Physical activity: I plan a thirty to forty-five minute exercise program every morning which will include weights, treadmill and elliptical. Plus, I will try to maintain a 10,000 step walking routine per day.

 

Nutrition schedule:  I plan to eat every two (2) to three (3) hours as follows:

 

(1) Breakfast:

Oatmeal – ½ cup oats, ½ cup water, ½ cup fat free milk, plus a fruit (banana, blueberries, strawberries, raisins or peaches).

 

(2) Snack (select one):

 

Boiled egg, tuna fish, sardines, carrot sticks, celery sticks, apple, clementine or cheese stick.

 

(3) Lunch:

 

Sandwich or lettuce roll-up: whole wheat bread, spicy mustard, chicken or turkey, lettuce, tomatoes, olives, onions, peppers (jalapeño, bell and banana), cucumber, olive oil and vinegar (less than 1 teaspoon).

 

(4) Snack (select one):

 

Boiled egg, tuna fish, sardines, carrot sticks, celery sticks, apple, clementine or cheese stick.

 

(5) Dinner with dessert:

 

Chicken or fish with three selections from the following: broccoli, asparagus, sweet potato, whole-wheat pasta or brown rice, beans (pinto, black, green,), greens (turnip, collards), brussel sprouts, okra and tomatoes, or salad with low fat dressing served on the side. For dessert: any low fat dessert not to exceed “cigarette package size.”

 

(6) Snack (select one):

 

Boiled egg, tuna fish, sardines, carrot sticks, celery sticks, apple, clementine or cheese stick.

 

My weight reduction plan is to follow the above nutrition schedule and meal food planning selections.  I do not plan to starve myself, and I will incorporate other food items as I think of them.

 

I have breakfast with several friends one day a week, brunch with friends after church most every Sunday, and dine with friends one evening during the week. These meals will conform to food items listed in my nutrition schedule.
