Rachel--Day 87

First of all, I can't believe we don't have any followers! I was thinking we could make some serious cash if we put some ads on the sidebar. Just think how many hits we're getting on this site!

anywho . . .

I felt like I was laying on the floor for at least 15 minutes of it, but I will get stronger

Food: F-

I got some really good ideas for food to buy at Costco though:
*dry roasted soynuts (high in protein)
*Miss May's trio bar
*kashi go lean cereal
*Agave nectar (looks like syrup but its a natural sweetener--good for oatmeal, etc)
*quinoa ( yummy grain that looks kind of like round rice--way better for you than rice and has a lot of protein in it. Joel and I have been using this for a while and its really good. I usually cook it with boullion cubes)

some other tips: (we had a nutritionist come to enrichment tonight--my friend Rachele)
*the "Skinny B*#%@ Cookbook" has good recipes
*When you get home from the store, chop up ALL your veggies right away-- you'll eat them if their already prepared. Also buy different kinds of veggies--not just carrots
*cook a bunch of quinoa at the beginning of the week and use it with your lunches for the reat of the week. add beans, chicken etc. for lunch
*use beans in everything--you need 25-30 gms of fiber per day
*have fruit available and IN SIGHT (you will eat what you see--even cookies if you see them)
*sleep 7-9 hours
*64-100 oz water/day
*make sure to eat a protein snack in the afternoon munchie time--and drink lots of water. you'll feel more full and blood sugar won't spike and fall


Looking forward to waking up early tomorrow to exercise! I can't keep doing my workouts at 10:00 am--it ruins the whole day, plus, as you mentioned earlier, the zen isn't quite there with Jay sitting on my tummy during yoga.

Hope your night went better tonight!
