Hey, it's Tuesday! Which is better than Monday. Although since we have a 4 day weekend coming up what with Easter being so early, it is really Wednesday, sort of.
It was beautiful up here yesterday so i walked downtown to the main library, logged in 6 miles on the pedometer. It felt terrific, but I am really tired today, not used to that. And the walk/runs are down the road a few weeks, as we are getting a lot of rain.
Eating is going well. I have my favorite 5-grain oatmeal/etc. mix in, it has barley and rye flakes and some other things, 1/2 cup dry is 130 calories and 5 grams of fiber. Lovely and filling. I am experimenting with a bit more lean protein, a bit less rice/bread. But nothing so extreme that I get all annoyed and defiant and into the granola bars.
Kashi bars are not bad, they are not very sweet (130 calories, 4 grams fiber). Apples, grapefruit, lentils and brown rice. I genuinely like all that stuff. Of course, that is not all I like, which is where things get a little tricky!
Anyway, I do want to look good this summer and as the weather gets better this seems closer in time, so I think I will be more motivated the better the weather gets.
I am going to go see how you all are doing now - hope everyone is having a good week!

That cereal sounds yummy! I love all those whole grains. I've been thinking of trying hot cooked barley for breakfast.
Yay for you, walking six miles yesterday! It's amazing what a little sunshine can do for one's exercise motivation, eh?
Wow, six miles?! Amazing!
What a great walk yesterday! Good for you.
I don't have a short week this week. *sigh* I'm so jealous!
Keep up the good work!
Yay! Well done you for clocking-up 6 miles. That's excellent :-)
I don't always relish the thought of exercise, though I always feel great once I have done it. Not to mention a tad virtuous! Haha.
I hope you have a great week, Lidian.

I wish it was a 4 day week! unfortunately its a normal work week for me.

Six miles is FABULOUS!! Great job!
Your cereal sounds yummy but I can't seem to get past the Kashi Go Lean Crunch addiction right now.
Hi Lidian,
Just a quickie to wish you and your family, a lovely, lovely Easter weekend!
All the best...

6 miles? WOWSA! You're amazing! Good for you. I too am looking forward to the warmer weather. It just seems easier to lose weight when all I have to do is eat cherries and nectarines and drink water. Bring it on!
It was freezing in my part of Ontario yesterday...send the spring weather down! Today...we are suppose to get snow then rain...
I think Mother Nature forgot it was Spring.
Nice walk btw.
Hi Lidan,
It sounds like your healthy eating is going well. I am trying again and having some success but I really need to avoid those scales!
Good luck for the week ahead!
