Adventures Continue with Whole Grains

Today the scale said 166.5. That's still beter than 170. I really like the food selections they provide in the book. It's easy to just grab things on hand, portion them out, and throw in my lunch box in the morning. Today was 3oz Turkey, 1 laughing cow wedge (and really anything that uses laughing cow just feels like cheating) and walnuts and craisins on a whole wheat english muffin. I had pecans with breakfast. I really find I'm eating a lot of nuts as my choice of MUFA, I need to mix in more more oils and dark chocolate. Eating whole foods is expensive.

Last night I had a Kashi meal when I got home from tennis. I was a little nervous 'cause the southwest chicken smelled like cigarettes when I got it out of the microwave. It ended up tasting better than it looked. It was a quick replacement for dinner.

I haven't ventured into any recipes yet (other than the jump start smoothies). I may try to start making them and saving them for leftovers ahead of time, it has to be cheaper than buying flaxseed waffles all the time (which are delicious). I'll wait until I get back from 3 days at the beach (which I know is going to be a challenge). Tonight I might make the pita pizza for dinner.

Since this is a woman related week for me, I'll be interested to see any fluctuation in my weight. I'm not drinking as much water as I did on the Jump Start. I may need to make the sassy water just to keep drinking water. No change yet in my waist measurement
