March 28, 2007 — Just 4 Today
Just 4 Today, I’ll drink my fiber twice, test my blood sugar at least once after every meal, drink 2 liters of water, walk 3 miles, NOT eat between meals & NOT take seconds.
What are you going to do today?
Oh, and spend some time just chatting at the E4T Lounge…
My Daily Affirmation
Just today, I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds. And I’ll weigh myself and use the tools of The Hacker’s Diet to help me reach (and keep) my goals.
Cruising the Diet Blogs
It’s been a long time — too long. Some old friends are having a hard time, some seem well — gone. But there’s still a lot going on:
- Born Squishy has had a rough time & he’s posting irregularly. If you remember his visits here last fall, stop by to give him some encouragement.

- The Diet Detective – Some of America’s Worst Calories Rip-Offs, Life “Changes” that Can Impact Your Diet, Life “Stages” that Bust Diets
- CalorieLab has McDonald’s Nutrution Information
- Diet Blog wonders why portion sizes are so big?

March 27, 2007 — Just 4 Today
Just 4 Today, take my fiber supplement twice, drink 2 liters of water and weigh myself (done). And walk 3 times today for 15 minutes each time (3415!).
What are you going to do today?

I’ve revived The Eat4Today Lounge with a post about Politics and Drama.
