The Diet Continues

It has been nearly two weeks since Doug started his Diet. Oatmeal made with low fat milk and fruit for breakfast. A few crackers for brunch. Salads with Turkey or a little chicken and sunflower seeds for lunch. A small piece of Chocolate or plain cookie for afternoon snack. 8oz's of beef, fish or chicken with brown rice or apple sauce and veggies for dinner. Sugar free jello and just a little pop corn for desert. I drink water all day and an occasional Iced Tea with my lunch. Results of this diet is a total loss of 7lbs in just under 2 weeks. 

I started  to swim 1 Hr a day. Due to my shoulder injury I can not swim with both my arms so I float on my back and kick my legs best I can and do small strokes with my arms and hands by my side to gently glide me around the pool. As I can not run or jog on land I attempt to do it standing in 4 to 5 feet of water. It feels so good to be so light in the water and to jog in place. I don't get much cardio workout from this but I do get a good amount of stretching and its a good low impact work out for all the muscles in my arms, hands, legs and feet.
