A friend of mine was just talking about fitday. I will ask her more about it. Tracking food is really a good thing. Even if you don't count calories or watch fat intake. Wright everything down...all the way down to the mayo and butter. It gives you a good idea on what you are putting into your body.
I hear ya on the sugar...it is tough. Maybe try to save it for a treat at the end of the day after dinner?
Hummus and cracker and raw almonds...I swear that stuff has been saving me lately. Filling and good long lasting calories.
My boyfriend is leaving again in a couple of days. He brought me a bottle of merlo and I really wanted some. I had an icecream sandwich planned for a treat after dinner, but switched it for wine. The wine helped with my sugar fix and doesn't have the fat that my icecream bar has. So, I feel I had a fair trade!
We had Sockeye salmon, celery salad and homemade risotto for dinner. I threw the fish on the grill. The risotto isn't low calorie , but I was good and had lots of salad. It was all tasty and there are leftovers for lunch tomorrow.The celery salad is yummmmy. I think the recipe is on www.recipe.com. Celery, peas, dried fruit, lemon juice, nonfat yogurt, light mayo, white pepper,parsley and toasted pecans. It calls for dried cherries. I was out so used dried cranberries. I have used mixed dry fruit too. This is one of those things that you can pig out on and not get fat! Try it..
I found myself having a bit of a cig crave when I hopped in my rig after work. I started down the highway and had a panic attack when I couldn't find my water bottle. I needed my ba ba! Just like a baby! I turned around and went back and got it off my desk! I need to start having full water bottles everywhere! Cool clear water..not icky stinky smoke!
Cheers to all!
