So, I fell of the blogging planet for awhile there. I kept going and completed The Plan. Turns out I'm reactive to very few foods, but knowing what I am reactive to will be very helpful in the future. For example, I know now that I cannot consume more than one slice of bread in a day without it showing up on the scale the next morning.
I've decided to go back to simply tracking my nutrition and exercise on sparkpeople.com. I will take some big ideas from TP to use for the rest of my life. I've greatly benefited from limiting my sodium, increasing my veggies and monounsaturated fatty acids (MUFAs), and basing my water intake on my body weight (body weight in pounds divided by 2 equals daily water in oz).
I've lost 18lbs since I decided to take control and I am going to continue my new, healthier life. I've enter the Max Muscle MaxForm Challenge and hope to be at my goal weight by July 1st, 2013 (my 26th bday).

DAILY RECAP
My friend Sara stopped by to visit today! I had missed her baby shower and wanted to give her her gift and a few things I thought she'd appreciate from Ollie's baby days. It was really good to see her. Normally I would have make cookies to share, but we had a cup of tea and visited for a few hours. I am a hostess at heart and I'm not sure how to handle having guest over whilst dieting. I'm sure it will become easier once I have more foods in my repertoire and can test my recipes to see how the food combos affect me. There are some Hungry Girl recipes that I am itching to try, THINK Jalapeno Poppers.
I am a huge Hungry Girl fan, I record her show and own her book of recipes. If you haven't heard of Lisa Lillien, you need to check her out (she has a blog and a web page one of the cooking channel websites). She does things like revamping recipes for fast food favorites, heavy holiday dishes, and tasty beverages and dessrts so they can be eaten without guilt. I made her onion rings and fell in love, it was a huge serving with plenty of fiber and very little of the yucky stuff. I encourage everyone I know to pick up the book and try her recipes! She may even inspire recipes of your own (like my banana 'icecream' whoopie pies, made with frozen blended banana 'icecream' and a 100 calorie Muffin Top)
Thinking back on today, I was a little disappointed that I showed a gain this morning. I'm fairly certain it was the Kix but it could have been a digestive issue. I will retest them at a later date...Until then? I'm sticking to toasted rice and flax granola. :)
Good tidings all!
