Making Adjustments


Like I said in my previous post, I don't count calories. If I don't like how I'm feeling or don't think I'm losing right, then I make minor adjustments. I look at what I've been eating and change it. I think I've been allowing too many little carb snacks in. Having a handful of pita chips here and there adds up and it has no nutritional value whatsoever! So, today I am going to focus on eating all nutrient dense foods. We'll see how it goes!

I Am What I Eat:

  • 1/2 banana, Amy's smoothie
  • An o. apple w/o. peanut butter (probably about 1.5 tbsp if you really want to know)
  • Decaf Green Tea
  • Lunch was yummy tofu and couscous. I used coconut oil, soy sauce, minced garlic, turmeric, curry and orange peel. It was scruptioully umptious (as my sister would say)
  • A couple handfuls of o. air popped popcorn w/olive oil and sea salt today
  • Synergy Kombucha
  • Bora Wellness Bar
  • Dinner was o. short grain brown rice w/o. black beans, o. Emerald Valley hot salsa and 1/3 avocado on top! It was quite good I have to say. I would never have eaten rice and beans, but with the salsa, avocado and spices added to the beans (minced garlic, turmeric and sea salt), it was more than doable.
Did I Exercise Today

Ahhh! No! That's OK though, I have a play date at the park tomorrow, so 2, 1 mile walks are in my near future.

Overall and Tomorrow's Goals

I felt amazing today. My only "carbs" other than fruit, etc. was couscous and brown rice (and a little popcorn). I felt light and on my toes. I'm going to continue to watch which kind of carbs I am eating and make sure they are coming from great, nutritious sources.

Walk, Walk, Walk!

I ate 6 homemade chocolate chip cookies today. Now THAT'S too many carb snacks!
Just reading your menu makes me feel good! Damn girl, you're doing so well!
Now get out and pound the pavement!!! If we could combine my pavement pounding with your diet we'd be a superhuman. too bad we don't live in a comic book.

MMMM..that sounds so yummy. Thanks for the compliments. I know I need to step up the workouts. I walked 2 miles today and damn I am sore. It's amazing what pushing a baby out will do to your pelvis! I need a good adjustment. Which, HEY! Your husband can "legally" do in like a week, huh? How exciting!

Are you still running 10 miles a day? ;-)

By the way...that would be the funniest comic book ever! "as January pulls forward onto the oncoming traffic off ramp, amy snorts out her milk and january pees her pants from laughing so hard!" LOL
