No exercising today, I just couldn't make myself do it. Guess I needed a little break. It is getting harder to exercise every morning. The motivation just isn't there. Maybe a good evening bike ride or fast walk with my hubby would be a nice change.
Pre breakfast:
Fresh squeezed pink grapefruit juice
Breakfast:
Green smoothie
Oatbran muffin
Alisha and Randy spend the weekend camping at Burriston Ponds in Mona and invited us to come. We couldn't spend the night because of other obligations, but we spent the day with them and had lots of fun fishing and visiting around the camp fire.
Lunch:
Veggie sandwich: orange bell peppers, onion, cucumbers, sprouts
Watermelon
Veggie chips (Alisha bought these delicious chips from Smiths - they were similar to potato chips, but made from other root veggies such as sweet potatoes, turnips, beets, etc.) DELICIOUS!!!
We fished all afternoon and I was the only one to catch a fish - a good 12" trout.
Dinner:
Trout (so very tasty) everyone else had hotdogs
Wheat crackers & swiss cheese
Tortilla chips and 5 layer dip
Carrots and celery sticks
Veggie chips - they are so addicting I can only eat them on special occasions as they are deep fried and so not totally healthy
Snack:
Cherries
What a fun day we had with Alisha and her family. I love fishing. Definitely gotta go again SOON!

Helpful Hints that I found work for me
1- I try to make 50% of the food I eat each day raw fruits and vegetables. Most of this comes in the green smoothies and lettuce salads.
2- Eat only foods made with whole grains. Stay away from processed foods like white flour and white sugar.
3- Do not drink anything with your meals. Try not to drink at least 15 minutes before either. The body seems to absorb and use the food better without being diluted with liquid. I even take my pills with food now instead of liquid.
4- Exercise, exercise, exercise. Do something that gets your heart rate up. Doing it with someone else makes it more enjoyable and encourages you to keep at it.
5- Get out in the sunshine. Take a walk, rake some leaves, read a book, just do something. It is amazing how much better you feel after 30 minutes in the sun and fresh air.
6- Drink plenty of water. A good general rule is 1/2 your body weight in ounces. If you weigh 120 pounds, you should drink 60 oz of water.
