Ordinary Day

I'm glad she advocates free weights. In my little fitness 'journey' I've become a HUGE fan of free weights. They really are the most beneficial, I believe, in stengthening the body through every range of motion.

I eat a ton of fruit, but I'm a little lax on the vegetables myself. They're just so bland. I don't know if you like 'buttered' veggies, but I always did and since that was just about the only way I'd eat them, I just didn't eat them much after I started my diet program, because I didn't want the butter. That was until I discovered "Smart Squeeze", which is a very butter/margarine-like squeeze spread that has NO oils or butter at all, and is very, very good. So, now I find I can stick with a few staple favorites - broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, corn, etc. - by steaming them and putting some of that Smart Squeeze on them. It definitely tastes enough like butter to make it good, and now I'm a lot closer to getting the amount of vegetables that I need (although I'm not there yet).

Food logs may seem boring but I think they're a great idea, especially if you have a particular goal in mind, like losing weight or changing portions, eating healthier, etc. It's amazing how much it helps to track it.
