fit day

Have you tried Fit Day?

It's a pretty useful, easy-to-use, and free
software program for tracking stuff.
Stuff like diet and work-outs.

Just in case you never knew.
I mean, I KNEW, but I didn't really KNOW!
Ya know?
Well, now I'm a real fan.
Especially helpful because it caters to my
OCD need for graphs and charts.
To Quantify data in the absence of real progress.
Or learning. Or maybe documents actual progress.

So, I've adjusted my diet and found that
nuts might be the culprit in my recent abdominal pain. 
Wimp Nurse that I am, I thought the worst!

Appears I can't overindulge in tons and tons
of nuts anymore. Either that, or I would have to actually
chew them, instead of swallowing as many as possible
all at once. Like a dying person craves air.

There's actually a list:
Less Cheese, Canadian Whiskey, less nuts and peanuts,
less fats, less this, less that, all kinds of things.

Recently, I wrote about ADF
Alternate Day Fasting.....


This is more like pseudo-fasting....
Or just Very Low Calorie Intake
One small meal a day  - the rest water,
broth, clear liquids with very few calories.

Even a few bites of something can quickly 
add up to a few hundred calories!

I was having problems with my diet, so I adjusted 
my diet, and the problems went away! Go figure!

Then after a full day of water fasting, 
I suddenly felt "goofy" - more goofier than usual!
So I took my blood sugar. It wasn't low...
It was high! 130! Fasting....

Interesting!

But that was just a one time event....
*~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~*
Hope you are having a great day!
Not too slow - not too "fast!"

my netrition order

Sometimes, it's just one of those days....

YouTube Video
"My Netrition Order"
Sung to the tune of
"The Wells Fargo Wagon"
From "The Music Man"
............................................
O-ho my Netrition Order is a-comin' down the street,
Oh please let it be for me!
O-ho my Netrition Order is a-comin' down the street,
I wish, I wish I knew what it could be!


I got a box of LoCarb sugar on my birthday.
In March I got a great MacIntosh.
And once I got some grapefruit from Tampa.
Montgom'ry Ward sent me a bathtub and a box of straws.


O-ho my Netrition Order is a-comin' now
Is it a prepaid surprise or C.O.D.
It could be cashews!
Or protein!
Or a double oiler!


It could be thumpin' for thumone who ithhhz
No relationzz .... or it could be.... thump'n thpethyul
Just for me!
............................................
Click the picture to watch in YouTube -
I added annotations there.

Sorry  - and about the video...

No, I can't give you the two minutes of your life back!
But maybe you'll enjoy seeing my hair burn
under the Santa Cap!
Seemed like such a good idea at the time....
These things always do!


Goes to show you,
There'll be days like this!
::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::
Hope yours is a good one!

snack time - pb n j style

'
Take some Powdered Peanut Butter.
PB2


Now, I know what you are thinking.

WTH is Powdered Peanut Butter?
Confused smile

Just what it says - but it has 85% less fat
than regular peanut butter. It's all natural!
Here's a link to the web site.
Also available at Netrition.

Only 1.5 grams of total fat per 2 tbsp serving.
Compared to 16 grams of total fat 
per 2 tbsp of regular peanut butter.

Since it's dry, you can mix it in with other products,
and not have a big gooey mess.
Open-mouth smile
Mix with some Cream Cheese


And the Praline and Pumpkin Pie 
DaVinci Sugar Free Syrup!
You can use any flavor!
Even maple/pancake...

It can be a dip,
or a cheese cake, 
or just a treat!

And a word about sweeteners.
I don't "like" them per se.
I don't dislike them.

But I do know this -
I did not LIKE myself at my previous, heavier weight.
So for now, artificial sweeteners are a happy compromise!
People can be "gluten intolerant"
Associated with celiac disease. (link)
Or "lactose intolerant." (link)
Why can't there be a general "sugar intolerance?"
Associated with Morbid Obesity?

Have a Splenda day!
