Boy do i ever hate coming up with names for diaries. I look at everyone else's and think how neat they are. Well, health nest. There.

I'm not one to spend a lot of time writing exactly what I eat and what portions, just whatever sticks out, like the fact that on Monday I snuck all the desserts my parents loaded us down with on Easter in the teacher's lounge so I didn't have to worry with it. Yes!

Or that yesterday I misjudged how much I should eat for breakfast and broke down and got some Cheezits from the machine.
Which are tasty,
but have trans fat.

Dean Ornish wrote in The Spectrum about a study of monkeys divided into three groups. All monkeys were fed only enough calories to offset what they spent in a day, so they shouldn't have gained or lost any weight. The first group, who ate low fat, didn't. The second group, who had 8% of their calories replaced with mono unsaturated fats, gained a little. The last group, which had 8% of their calories replaced with trans fats, gained a huge amount of weight, and all in their tummies! I only write this because whenever I eat trans fats I think of the monkeys and freak out a little, like this,
THE MONKEYS!!!

Which I did when I ate those Cheezits, the end.

What I'm doing well now is eating right. What I'm doing poorly now is exercising, so that's my focus right now. :-)

Exercising can be a BIG word, especially when you never really did like me
I was the one who faked sickness during gymclass all my life

You can do it
Last weekend with my man, we went outside for a walk, about 40 minutes. I was out of breath (very windy) but felt very good after that.

Have a nice day my dear

Thanks for the reply!
I'm working on it. I'm trying to get over having quit my gym. I miss it so much! But we just don't have money for that right now. I have lots of DVDs but it's hard as anything getting in there to work out. Once I'm there, I'm fine, besides being a little angry at how out of shape I've grown.

yesterday i could NOT stop eating. It sucked. And it sucks, because it's time for me to be off to my job but my body just won't let me go!

ewwwww.... lol

Dont worry about not being able to go to the gym. I dont go to a gym. I have found that walking is amazingly effective for helping lose weight and it is basically free (if you ignore all the shoes that I keep having to replace because I have worn them out).

I didnt think that it could possibly be that effective - but I was certainly wrong. I wear a pedometer - which you can do but you dont have to.

That is SOOO FUNNY that YOU say that I USED TO BE THE SAME WAY...ALL MY LIFE>>>>TEARS AND ALL! ;....HAHAH....THAT CHANGED!
