Again with the no walking!

That's right. Our day started with a trip to the grocery store to load up on healthy food. Then it was naptime. My naptime too - I slept until just after 4pm! Then it was up to make dinner. So I didn't get my walk to the park in like I wanted to. But I plan to do my Wii Fit tonight, and I must say I did a stellar job planning my meals today. I also discovered the joy of lemon yogurt. I bought one of those vat-sized containers of plain and lemon yogurts, and plan to cook with the first and eat the second. See, I have to get 2 milks in per day, but I don't like drinking milk. Lemon yogurt is just so refreshing, AND it kept me from being starving while making dinner. My worst cheat was eating a few asparagus before they went into the steamer!

Something I have decided, and what seems to work okay with this plan, is that I am refusing to eat "fake food". I.e. you will not catch me eating fat free dairy products like cheese and sour cream. If you actually eat a serving size (and don't dump half the bag on top of your meal), these things aren't bad for you. Case in point: today I had a huge spinach salad. I threw half a cup of mushrooms on two cups of spinach, added six (yup, that's the serving size) croutons and 2 Tbsp. of full fat bleu cheese. It was delish. Now, had I used a fat free dressing, the fat content and calories would be much lower, but I would have hated every bite. Instead, I got some great raw veggies in my body, and thoroughly enjoyed the meal. Which is better? I think it's obvious. Fortunately, I have this neat little spoon that measures exactly 2 Tbsp and has a kind of squeegy thing that helps dispense the dressing, because I've found that not all tablespoons are alike!

So that's my day. I'm pretty happy with it, walk or no walk.
