DAY 6 - February 5, 2011

Aaaaaand we're back!

Okay, I've been away from the blog for a bit because the whole weekend of February 5th was quite worrisome and choppy.  Mom's diagnosis had me a bit preoccupied.  But, I did remain faithful to my diet, as you will see.

If you're like me, you crave sweet things from time to time.  Whenever this happens, go get some red grapes, wash them, take them all off the vine, put them in a Tupperware bowl, and pop it in the fridge.  Now you have a quick, delicious, healthy way to satisfy (for a time) a craving for something sweet. They're cool, crisp bursts of sweet juiciness.  They are YUMMY.

Of course, every once in a great while, if you're craving something sweet, go get some ice cream or something.  Don't drive yourself crazy.

I'm really starting to get in a rhythm with figuring this stuff out.  It's fun and easy, really.  All I had to do to alleviate the frustration I was feeling was find foods that were high-C, low-P and -F, or high-P, low-C and -F.  And the good news is, it's all delicious and I feel great.

I'm starting to notice a difference in the way my clothes are fitting.  I can't wait for weigh-in day!  (Day 15; I'm gonna try to weigh myself once every 2 weeks.)

Physical Activity for the Day

Not enough!

Did you drink all three Stumpies?

 . . . no.  I've been having water motivation problems.  I think one reason I'm having a hard time with this is because I'm tired of having to pee all the time.  Also, drinking water has a cooling effect, and considering the weather, I'd rather not feel any colder than I have to.  But, I need to keep drinking my Stumpies!  Someone motivate me to keep chugging!
