Day 12

Here starts another brand new day. Yesterday I did pretty well with watching what i am eating, but I am sad to say i did not have time to work out, I am packing up my house I have promised myself for sure today will be a workout day, and I am not going to do the dog walking kind, its gonna be the shake my butt off kind. I thought of another great way to lose weight on the cheap. make yourself a mix of 45 minutes of songs, play it and dance, run, shake move for the whole time, great calorie burning and it would be fun. Especially if you have kids,they would love to dance with you.

FOOD DIARY APRIL 12 2010

Breakfast: Cheerios and coffee

Lunch: a left over portion of the tortilla casserole and a banana

Snack: Carrots with some honey mustard to dip it in

Dinner: Spaghetti (measured out 1 cup of noodles) salad and bread

I love have spaghetti because it cheap. If you measure out the noodles and fill the sauce with yummy veggies, it is very filling. I always love to have salad with it that way if I am still really hungry I can have more of that. The other thing is I do play mind tricks on myself especially with spaghetti. One cup just looks so small on a big plate, I always put my spaghetti on a smaller plate, and it just seems so much more full.

Here is a great Sweet and Sour recipe,
