Day #21 weigh-in: 119.0, down .8 pound from yesterday. My daughter, Mary, brought over my spring suit (short-sleeved, short-legged wet suit), so after I took a 1/2-hour jog on the beach, I boogie-boarded in the waves to my heart’s content. Reminder: Our goal is to consume as close to 1000 calories as possible each day […]

Day #15 weigh-in: 120.4, down .2 pound from yesterday. I attended my daughter, Kelly’s, baby shower yesterday and managed to eat only the healthiest treats at the shower. It’s a good thing I was on this 28-day diet, or I’m not sure I would have been able to resist a bite of the chocolate cheese […]

Day #12 of Dr. Siegal’s 28-Day Diet to Determine Metabolic Rate
Day #12 weigh-in: 121.4. Exercise yesterday consisted of a 1.1-mile jog. I just wonder: How is it possible to gain .4 pound on 1161 calories? I’m beginning to think my metabolic rate is lagging.
