Counting Calories is for Sissies!

I am sure you have noticed that I don't count calories in numbers, points, or any other form. I don't measure 1/2 cups of everything or balance things on a little scale to make sure I don't eat too many ounces. You know what I do? I use my head! Use your head people! Are you hungry? Eat! Are you full? Stop Eating! I guess exercising "portion control" is the closest thing I can relate to. What does that mean though? Who decides on the portions? Well, you do! So, once again you have to decide how large or small of a portion to eat. Today I was starving at lunch. I had 2 bowls of home made fried rice. I didn't just eat 1 cup b/c someone told me that's all I should eat. Could I do that? Sure, I could eat 1 cup or 8 oz of everything, then later that night binge on a HUGE portion of ice cream b/c I'm ravenously hungry and have no control! Eat when you are hungry and eat something yummy and healthy and how much you need to. Your body, mind and not-guilty conscious will thank you!


I Am What I Eat:

• An o. clementine and o. banana, H20

• A Bora Wellness bar and an o. red apple (got hungry at church, hey a 3 hour block is long!)

• Applesauce, a handful of pita chips, a few bites of kids o. pb&j rollups

• A lot of vegetable fried rice (made w/leftover rice from last night...so easy and yummy)

• One of my friend Amy's (by the way she is one of the coolest, funniest people I know...check her out for yourself here!) smoothies! It was 1 cup rice/soymilk, 1 cup vanilla soy milk, 2 bananas, cinnamon, nutmeg and real vanilla syrup (no alcohol in it). It fed myself, my hubby and 2 kids. It was delicious! Thanks Amy!

• Synergy Kombucha, H20
  

• Small plate of noodles and o. marinara sauce

• 2 slices of an apple with peanut butter, handful of o. air popped popcorn, another Bora Bar
  

Did I Exercise Today?

Nope, it's the Sabbath. I might go on a leisure walk w/Brandon and the kids on Sundays, but nothing serious.

Overall and Tomorrow's Goals:

Other than being exhausted this morning form the kiddos waking up a lot, I feel great today!
I am going to go on a 1-2 mile walk 3 times this week!
