Bob Greene's Back to Business Plan Weeks 3 and 4

Weeks 3 & 4

Food Switch: Trade in your white bread for 100 percent whole grain, in addition, try incorporating whole grain pasta and brown rice into your diet.

Cardio: Add five more minutes to each workout session, for a total of 20 minutes, five days a week.

Strength: None at this time.

Traps to Avoid: Exercise is tough. You can shed pounds by just cutting calories, but among successful long-term weight losers, 90 percent exercise regularly. Physical activity also improves mood, sleep, even sex.



***I didn't do so hot on the exercise for week three. I think that it must have been the cold and my mood swings with my hormones all out of whack. I think that I will repeat week three again.

I have traded in my white bread for wheat bread, but I didn't eat enough of it before it went bad. I tried the Sara Lee 45 calorie a slice bread that was delish!

*** What I have been noticing is that I do really well on breakfast and lunch, then at dinner things get all out of whack! Any ideas?!
