@Super: You're telling me? Yeah it is. Normally I eat 6 bananas, 5-6 mangos or 5 lbs. of watermelon in a day, divided over breakfast & lunch. I figure that eating a pound of Brussel sprouts for lunch instead will save me about 200 kcal, plus adding back in a 45-60 minute daily workout will burn another 300-500 kcal, depending on the intensity of the cardio. I should drop a pound a week with the adjustments.

@Karen: Yup. No sense in wringing my hands and boo-hooing about it, or worse, making jokes to cover up my failure. Lunch today was a bowl of blanched asparagus with fresh mint instead of grapes. Will do a Pilates workout after work.

When is your follow up lab work?

@Honeebuns: Follow-up Lipid panel is scheduled for next week. It was supposed to have been a month ago, but everyone in my office has been on summer vacations, so I haven't been able to request any time off. Everyone is back after Labor Day. I'm not worried about the labs, as it's been all healthy food -- just too much of it when factoring the decrease in my cardio. CICO.

@Otb and PinayRN: Was taught decades ago that we should never complain unless we can bring at least 1 solution to the table. I have 2, and have already implemented the diet change for lunch. Exercising after work, will weigh in next week at the doctor's office.

I haven’t been walking either lately and I can really tell a difference the heat is just too much for me though it’ll have to wait till it cools off

Can't imagine gaining 10 pounds eating fruit - but then I couldn't eat as much as you do. Veggies are lower in calories though. A favorite stir fry for me is asparagus, brussels sprouts and mushrooms - at least 10 grams of protein. I have a spritzer with olive oil in it and I just spritz the bottom of the wok because the calories in olive oil add up. I bet the weight will come off when you are able to walk once it cools down outside. That's what I keep telling myself.

@Storms: I don’t like getting sweaty at work, and it’s in the 90’s by the office. So plan B is in motion. @Fritzy: I don’t think it was the fruit so much as the lack of walks for the past 2 months (which is about 300 calories burned each lunch break).

@Sugarplum: I was never a fan of "small changes" or going slow. Love an attack plan.
Boot camp for fast results!
