Found Some Awesome Bread
Monday, January 21st 2008
[updated 7:01pm]I found some amazing bread over the weekend. There is a chain of Arizona based healthfood stores called "Sprouts" (They have locations in AZ, CA and TX). I was hoping to find a new bread by Oroweat called Flax + 7 which has a lot of healthy fatty acids in it. Instead, I found a real gem!

Most of my blogs are all business - diet & exercise. Here is one for fun.(updated 9:00pm)
Dunna-Nunnas
As many of you know, families develop their own words for things... I just had a flash back to my 'weight gain' period where I packed on the fat I carry today. Those of you who have gained weight know how this goes: Your pants get tight, but you wear them until they are completely painful to wear - or simply impractical (For example, the threads holding the button give up - >...

It's always a shame when it happens on a weigh in day. The scale is up from last week.[Insert the Price is Right "blew it" music] Bomp bomp ba-Baaa... WHAAaaaaa" *laugh*
How to Analyze a Gain
I've actually wanted to blog about this for a while.

The Scale
I try to only weigh myself once per week, but in this case, I'm glad I did a mid-w...

After a 2500 calorie maintenance day I'm back to my old self. I've felt really lethargic this week... at first I thought that it was because I ate 3100 calories on Saturday, then burned 1100 on Sunday, but I think it has more to do with the missed high calorie day on Tuesday. When I didn't bring my calories all the way back up, I didn't want to get out of bed. After my maintenance day on Thursday, I felt FANTASTIC!Springing out of Bed?
When the clock hit 6am, I actually sprang out of b...

Yesterday was a near perfect food day (for my current goals). I ate exactly what I planed to eat. My intake was within 100 calories of maintenance and my macro ratios (17% fat 26% protein and 57% carbs) are pretty friggin good! I hit my 650 calorie exercise target yesterday morning, too!On Track for 2 Lbs
In my blog yesterday, I said I felt like I had gained a little weight even though I don't know how that would be possible given my intake. At the end of the blog I was trying to tell ...
