Need To Lose 20 Pounds

I’ve decided to get serious and start a diet this week. My normal weight is about 160… but I’m pushing 185 right now and it’s not a pretty sight.

I didn’t think much about it until I was exercising in front of the mirror the other day without my shirt on and well… I’ll spare you the gruesome details.

Here’s my diet plan:

I’ve decided to cut out all deserts.
I’m cutting concentrated calories such as fruit juices to a minimum. (I almost never drink pop or other “junk food” beverages or alcohol.)

Typical Breakfast:
Bowl of Oatmeal
1 or 2 Softboiled eggs
Fruit (usually an orange)

Typical Lunch:
Apple
Sandwich (peanut butter on whole wheat bread. No Jelly or Honey.)
Fruit Salad: (Crushed pineapple with banana and grapes. Takes the place of Jelly on sandwich… thus fewer concentrated calories.)

Typical Dinner:
Meat (Broiled chicken or Roast beef)
Potato or brown rice
Steamed veggies

Typical Snack: (If I just need something late at night.)
Raisen bran (I like to make my own from Wheat flakes and Raisens. You get more raisens and they are juicier and more tendor than what you get in a box of “Raisen Bran” type cereal.

My goal is to lose approximately 20 pounds, however I seldom step on a scale. Weight is meaningless and I prefer to gauge my progress by how I look in the mirror.

In other words, I just need to get rid of this layer of blubber I’m carrying around. If I looked good at 185, I wouldn’t care.
