Eating good food
Friday, June 25th 2010
We are recommended to eat 5-6 vegetables and fruits a day and to eat less protein.I am eating vegetables and fruits! This week plenty of kale and asparagus and romaine and fresh peas and grapes and cherries and strawberries and peppers and I don't know what all else. My protein for at least two meals was beans. I eat low fat protein as often as I can, keep oil to a little olive oil only and stay away from butter and processed foods.
Yet it is difficult for me to meet my fiber and p...
Emotional eating
Monday, June 21st 2010
You know how you are asked, in a list of reasons why you eat, if you eat when you are upset or emotional or whatever? I try to think of how I behave in those situations and can't remember -- do I eat when I'm upset?I know there are certain upsets when eating is NOT my impulse.

But I won, E succumbed to pillow and comforter, and I woke to this ...
Weigh in day
Monday, June 14th 2010
The scale this morning said I lost 8/10 of a pound last week. I AM glad, but if you look at my diary you'll know it can be attributed just about ONLY to the movement I did (which wasn't much at that). Counting daily calories and planning meals ahead of time -- these are my goals for this week. And exercise 5 days if at all possible (just do it RIGHT, Yvonne!)still trying to climb back on the wagon

My wagon must be traveling down the road and I'm running to catch up with it, 'cause getting back on it is not proving easy!
I think I'm eating pretty healthily but when I diary my foods -- surprise! a million calories and I wasn't even trying! Yesterday I finally got to the pool and a good exercise session, and I was thinking, "Oh, yeah, green check for me today." However, my diary shows I'm once again waaaay over my calorie goal.Looks like I'm going to have to plan ahead ...
