I am very pleased with my food intake yesterday. I was up on fresh foods and felt good all day. For breakfast I had my usual granola, almond, blueberries and vanilla yogurt. I drank an actual diet coke. It tasted quite strong. I'm getting used to not drinking soda except for the one in the morning. I don't drink coffee so the diet coke is my caffeine for the day but since we got an ice machine I may cut out that morning pop.
For lunch I made a Hugh Jass salad from the salad bar. It had leafy greens, summer squash, cucumbers, carrots, broccoli and sunflower seeds. I popped open a light Italian dressing package and used it all (25 cal worth). Then I read the label. The third ingredient down was high fructose corn syrup. It really is ubiquitous isn't it? I also had a large cup of fresh summer fruits.
When I got home I fixed a green monster as an after work snack. I wasn't hungry til almost 8PM. Green monsters are quite filling. After Bones (the TV show) I fixed a plate with raw baby carrots (I'm addicted), a Lean Cuisine panini which was absolutely delicious and a bunch of green grapes. Then I read Julie and Julia til I fell asleep.
More later...
How I Got Here

- On May 30, 2010 I got the surprise of my life. I had a heart attack. This was after a year spent changing the way I lived my life. By that date I had lost 70 lbs, I was walking an hour to an hour and a half a day, I was walking 7 flights of stairs every day, and I was doing a 30 min stretching routine several times a week. I thought I was doing all the right things to protect my heart and then… I went through a period of thinking “Why bother?” but then I broke my ankle and had to have surgery and rehab. In rehab I learned why bother. I saw what happened to those who hadn’t taken care of themselves and I picked myself up and got back on track. This blog is my continuing story of how I am getting stronger every day – one step at a time.
