Good morning

Here's the food log from yesterday, a little weird because I need to go shopping and am low on produce.

Breakfast: Odwella Bar, 2 cups of coffee

Snack: All Bran, raisins, almond milk, 1/2 c organic grape juice

Today I am swimming and probably biking a little on the indoor spinning bike at our Y. Sunday is my day off. Thank God (literally I guess) that my training partner goes to church on Sundays- otherwise she'd run me into the ground. Usually I still go for a walk, ideally with my husband and our dogs if the weather allows. Tomorrow we might take a hike with my daughter and her husband- my activity request for mother's day- not for workout purposes but for fun.

You sharing your log has already helped me- thanks for reminding me about sweet potatoes- haven't had any for a while and now I will.

Ulla-

What is fullcorn? I am always so curious about new foods. I notice that you are very good the the fruits, which helps remind me that 2 1/2 cups daily are recommended. Time to go cut up the melon I bought at the farm stand. So great to have you with us! Warm wishes and keep up the good work toward your weight loss!

Today I will try and log as I go- yesterday it was hard to remember and keep track.

Snack- dark chocolate, orange juice

Dinner- Whole wheat pasta, homemade sauce with veggies, parmesan, salad of dark greens, carrot, celery, dried cranberries with Annie's Light Raspberry Vinagrette

Exercise: 30 minute run

Ulla

i am sorry i may wrote it wroung in english but its fulkorn in swedish which means bread from whole corn..not white bread..

if u understand me..its brown bread with so much fiber and it can be very light or fat free

i am trying to focus on fruits as they satsfy my very bad sweet tooth and healthey in the same time

i used to eat white bread and couldnt like the brown bread,,now i feel better with it as i am using it all the time it helped me not to crave sugars so much as i used to be,,i dont know if there is a link between them but its just how i feel.

i dont think am so creative ,,i stick with one type of food for 2-3 days then change it,,but i am seriousely focusing on fat free,sugar free,whole food..and i cut all the sugar and white breads and pasta.and never bought any processed food since about a year

i hope we can continue with that journal..

it really helps

Ulla-

Breads and sandwiches must be very popular in Sweden...yes? "Fulkorn" must mean something like "whole grain" means here- that the flour is made from unprocessed versus refined grain of whatever kind. I like to eat the same things over and over for a few days too- it's easy and avoids wasting food too. Enjoyed the food pics. I'll have to get back to putting photos in some of my posts. Lately I haven't had the time.

Kim- good time on the 4 mile walk- sometimes it takes me that long to "run" 4 miles.

Ulla

oh..yes,,exactly..thats it..am really sorry for confusing u with different names..

i couldnt excersize for about 5 weeks,,i only had my short daily walk to and from school(20min fast walk )=40 minutes daily,,but couldnt find energy to go to gym i feel guilty for that//

love u

paige-allyson

Kim- Good luck with that chocolate bar! On the walk around the neighborhood- that's a great way to get in extra exercise. Judith Beck ("Beck Diet Solution") really encourages adding "spontaneous exercise" such as extra walking here and there, as a way of getting more activity in. I think of it as being like a snack.

Ulla- Weren't you hungry yesterday?! I think I ate your share of food in addition to my own
