A renewed Strength


Today I am feeling a little more excited again. I went for an hour walk last night with my little grandson and while it was a little hard on my legs, I really enjoyed it. I hope to incorporate a little more walking on the days when i dont go to the gym. Today will be a gym day though as I am not working today.


I think also a big factor in my mindset is that I am using this site to assist me in making better food choices. I keep track of my foods and water consumption and throughout the day, I can see where my choices are doing me good or harm.

You get to earn spark points for the different things you do there, which also helps with the "reward" part of "dieting"... which is another thing I want to comment on. There is a great discussion forum there and if you have the time to read, there is a wealth of info including things that you might be thinking about but never "thought" about. Does that make sense? hahaha

anyways... The word "Dieting" we use it in a bad connotation. But in reality, it is the essense of life. Every living being on this earth is on a diet. Your "diet" is what keeps you alive. What a revelation! Now, time to analize what each individual diet consists of. My diet has obviously been wrong or I wouldn't look the way I do. That is why I am on this journey.


More tomorrow... and please leave a comment if you have anything to say about dieting!


ps... i added a photo of my son and I dancing at his wedding last week. I don't see a difference yet, but others have commented.

diet Mini Quiche Recipe to share...

doesn't this sound yummy?
Maybe it is because I am craving some chewable food right now, I dunno... Can't wait to try this. My first day for regular foods is to be March 31. This is the day after our anniversary so I really want to go out and celebrate. I will also be able to test my band. I intend to take home a doggy bag. ;)

egg quiche:
3/4 cup egg white
2 eggs
3/4 reduced or non fat shredded cheese- i use NF mozzerella
3/4 cup red pepper (you can use any color)- chopped small
3/4 onion chopped small
1 10oz package of frozen spinach
salt and pepper

Place spinach in microwave for about 3 minutes- then SQUEEZE ALL the water out! Mix all ingredients together and pour into a 12 m
muffin pan. Bake on 350 for about 30 minutes. I also serve with 1 or 2 pieces of turkey bacon and 1/2 a banana.
