I never knew just how incredible it was to cycle on a bicycle! My fiance and I rode to work this morning and even though I had to make a few stops to regain my balance, I think I did pretty well! Looking forward to mastering the bicycle because I would really like to go on a long cycle trip since we have been having good summer weather.
Just a note on something I watched on youtube. There is a girl (fastinggurl31) that put an interesting post about the raw food die. I watched all her episodes, they were interesting seeing her determination and her progress. I don’t think I could do that kind of a diet but you know it does make me think more. I mean, even if I don’t go 100% vegan, I want to try to eat more veg and fruit. If i can make it a habit now, it will really benefit me in the long run.
B - 1 kiwi, 1 small banana, 2 tblsp berry yoghurt, 1tsp crushed flax, 1/2 glass milk, 1/2 glass orange juice
L - 1 carrot, 1 celery, 1 tsp crushed flax, 4 raisins
D - noodles with mixed veg stir fry mix 1tsp soy sauce 1tbls sweet chilli sauce. (Ok i dont think i needed to have added the sweet chilli but i will remember for next time, it is hard for me to give up cos it is so yummy!)

i’ve noticed that the last two days, you’ve only eaten a very small amount of veggies for lunch and nothing else. How do you make it through until dinner? I would be starving! Anyway, I have one other question, is there protein in flaxseed? I know it is supposed to be very healthy for you, but what is it exactly?

Biking is awesome, glad you had such a good time! My husband and I bike together all the time and it is a blast!

I am trying very hard to work on my portions this week which explains the small amounts of veggies and fruit. I knew that I would start feeling hungry toward dinner time so I tried drinking huge glasses of water. This is working very well for me. Also, I got some sugar free gum so I chew on that if I feel really hungry.
Watched Dr.Oz on Oprah and he was talking about the importance of flaxseed in a diet as it contains allot of Omega-3. But, he said that you only get the real benefits from it if you grind it or chew on it. So i just grind a little and sprinkle it on salads, cereal etc.
