welcome back

I have started back on CR and have found some new ways that make not weighing everything. It's a welcome back to my loved style of feeling good again about myself. After my long absence and taking notes of what was not working and what is starting to work for me. I was in the mitts of changing my career over the last year. I have returned to Banking and now an officer at my local bank. As a financial service rep I am finally returning to my loved career. In my career I had 10 years in banking from teller to branch manager. Now after a long absence I am returning. I am happy to say, yes it is working for me. Now I would like to get started and work on my diet and exercise. I will start with breakfast and work my day into the diet routine.

Today's food diary

Morning exercise
1 Yoplait yogurt light (100 cal)
1 Vitatops vita muffin Banana Nut (100 cal)

Lunch/Dinner/evening
are not here due to work in progress.
I am working on breakfast first then
working on a system for lunch and dinner
while starting a new job.

Let's look at the breakfast breakdown:

Yoplait is my milk substitute and has the following:
0 fat, 85mg sodium 4%, 250mg potassium 7% , 19g carbs and 14g sugars 8%, 5g protein 10%
vitamin A 15%, calcium 20%, vitamin D 20%, phosphorus 15%

Vitatops in Banana Nut 100 calories
2g fat 3%, 0 cholesterol, 120mg sodium 5%, 50mg potassium 1%, 19g carbs 6%, 5g fiber 20%, 3g sugar, 4g sugar alcohol, 5g protein
vitamin A 50%, C 50%, calcium 2%, iron 50%, D 50%, E 50%, thiamin 4%, riboflavin 10%, niacin 4%, folic acid 50%, B12 50%, B6 50%, pantothenic acid 12.5% botin 50%, zinc 50%

After looking over the numbers, we made progress in getting some percentages close to 100% for the day in just breakfast. I was not a breakfast person in my younger days but I am trying to because it is true that breakfast makes a difference.

Now breakfast is quick but I do try to relax during breakfast at the table. We talk during breakfast and enjoy a conversation then we're both off to work. BK mentioned that he didn't want me to rush off quickly and instead enjoy a conversation at breakfast. I agreed and it is working out well.
