Day 79—Just Like Starting Over

So today was good. Went for a brisk walk with the Domania walking gang. Have changed my nut eating habits. I happened to see an ad (I am very responsive to those) touting the "South Beach Diet" on a can of Planters unsalted nuts. I quickly went out to my local market and picked some up. Apparently, you are allowed to have 1/4 cup of the unsalted nut mix per day, so I measured out multiple bags and brought them to work. So bye bye almonds, bye bye pistachios, bye bye cashews. I'm sticking to my nut mix.

Breakfast
Two Slices of Low Carb, Whole Wheat Bread
2 Tsp Peanut Butter
Tea

Snack
1/4 Cup Mixed Unsalted Nuts
6 oz Lite Peach Yogurt
6 Dried Apricots

Dinner
Trout a la Emily
Zucchini slices
Avocado & onion

Dessert
2 Strawberries

We were on our way to Kindergarten orientation and I felt hungry—looking in the fridge I found the strawberries, and I had two. So that was like my first 'dessert course' in quite some time. This was also my first day without a cheese stick, in like, I don't know how long. If I am going to keep losing, I must keep my exercise up and my eating down. Also, I have to get back to drinking water when I am hungry—or having some decaf coffee. But all that water really keeps you from sitting in one place for too long (see have to leave my desk 7 times a day).

Anyone who can resist the brownies at Kindergarten orientation gets a tip o the hat from me.

I am impressed too. The "change of nuts" is an excellent one. Can you imagine being concerned about two strawberries in your former life? Love, MOM
