No Sweets Recap – LHAS
Time slips away :) From having friends over to two days at the Fancy Food Show, where did this weekend go? To recap on my no artificial sweets week: I ended up losing about 4 pounds, and I was not hungry. I noticed that after I added in the artificial sweeteners, I was more hungry. [...]
No Sweets Edition: LHAS
I did three days of city walking, and assorted smaller walks. 260 minutes of exercise. I need to start the Cardio Boxing thing again, but it is 90+ degrees in the apartment. At least outside I have a breeze. I slightly cheated on the No Sugar day today (oops!) I went to the farmers market, [...]
Drinks: Aqua Fresca
So far today, I have eaten a quesadilla (on plain flour tortillas, after I found the whole wheat ones had sucralose), sauteed garlic green beans, grilled chicken, coffee, and tea. I will probably have popcorn in a few. I do not like plain water. If I can find a way to change it up a [...]
30 Minutes In
After just 30 minutes of “no artificial sweeteners,” I realize that I eat a whole lot of “healthy” things that I have a very long ingredient list. Things to keep in mind.
Weekly Updates
Didnt do so well this week. Though, I had about two hours of walking one day (to find cupcakes, and I had to ask them to get the cupcakes out of the freezer!) So, about 240 minutes of walking. (Low intensity). Next week, Monday to Friday, is my “no artificial sweetener” week. If my grandmother [...]
Fat is not a bad word
I wrote this as a comment to a post on FitBottomedGirls.com. (She) said “When I see the word “fat,” I think “hate” or “ugly” or, even, “not good enough.” In my mind, if you call yourself fat, you’re hating on yourself and not honoring the person you are inside and out.” I am fat. Fat [...]
Sleep
I seriously need to get back on a more normal sleep schedule. I have been going to bed around 5-7am. Waking up (if I dont set the alarm) between 2 and 5pm. The days that I do have to set my alarm and get up early, it takes me about an hour to wake up, [...]
LHAS Wednesday Walking Weigh In
I walked. Quite a bit. Sunday I set out walking. I knew that I had to get from my place to another, and that public transportation would be involved. I also figured out that the start point for the bus portion would be 2.5 miles away. I figured that I didnt want to walk that [...]
Morning Coffee and Headaches
Well, not really. In scholarly news, check out this study: “With frequent consumption, substantial tolerance develops to the anxiogenic (ed: anxiety causing) effect of caffeine, even in genetically susceptible individuals, but no net benefit for alertness is gained, as caffeine abstinence reduces alertness and consumption merely returns it to baseline.” http://news.bbc.co.uk/2/hi/health/10202553.stm I am still dealing [...]
Steel Cut Oats
One of my current breakfasts is Steel Cut Oats. One cup of Steel Cut Oats Three cups of Silk Light Vanilla Soy Milk (I have heard weird things about regular milk in the crock pot, so I use soy milk. Works so far!) I am sure you can use other kinds of soy milk, but [...]
