Having some difficulty staying within my food guidelines so am quite disappointed in myself. I need to get to where I’m commited again. The only thing I’m doing that’s good is walking, and I’m walking a lot… minimum 1 hr sometimes more, each day. More than half on sand and much of the sand walking [...]

I am getting a grip at last! Stopping the willful disregard for what I eat. Taking charge, planning meals, shopping for health, watching portions, stopping when I’m full… what else? I’ve been getting a healthy amt of outside exercise all along, so I haven’t added that. But I was eating to keep up with what [...]

Don’t know what it is about me but structure works best. So I’m very excited about my new strategy of using a bento box to make my lunch every day. I love to look at food, I love to prepare it, esp combinations of things I like.
So I was at the www.myfooddiary.com site checking out the forums–one [...]

OK, this is a happening thing again. Awareness of what I’m eating is seeping back.
When I’m in an “I need comfort so I can eat what I want” mode, I just ignore what I know is best and part of me just goes numb. I take the comfort I need from eating and don’t think [...]

I went to the myfooddiary site to check it out and it really is nice - I have to pay 9 bucks a month but I know it’s going to be worth it, so I signed up and started using it.
It makes it very easy to track my food choices and the calories burned from the [...]

I’m giving up on the Daily Plate… my tool of choice for so long, but since it was taken over by Livestrong it’s gotten slower and slower… and I loved the look of the Plate and the moderators voices… and Livestrong is ugly and sucky. Does anyone know another free tracking site like it?
So for [...]

Saw a picture last wk in a food magazine of a quiche with sliced almonds on top, chunks of lobster and broccoli peeking out of the filling - it looked delicious, so I made two using my usual quiche recipe, gave them to friends–to share — they were scrumptious. Also made a huge amount of [...]

The walking is great. I’m loving going out in the midday for a nice brisk walkie, even if it’s been in the nineties and humid as can be, it’s cooler now.
However - though I can easily walk 3-4 miles or more a day, I’ve been eating in proportion. My problem, rob Peter to pay Paul…
Having too many things [...]

Ok - the nine days of tracking my walking were awesome, 39.2 aerobic miles, not counting the steps in between the ”real” walks. This week is shaping up even better. Now that I’ve added some speed and a vigourous walk at noon every day for 30 minutes or more, I’m standing straighter, my midsection feels stronger. My hip [...]
