MMmmmmmm, Hot Whole Wheat Bread

Mostly, this picture is for Jamie -- to prove that my bread is turning out -- and that I'm not scared of my wheat grinder anymore -- yum yum!

wednesday

(1)half grapefruit
(2)toast w/ cottage cheese
(2)milk
(7)McDonalds cheeseburger (sorry Adrie)
(3)half small fry
(4)Grilled chicken salad (including oil)
(2)french bread
(4)ice cream
(4)9 caramel filled kisses
(?)bites of ryan's microwave molten chocolate cake

and this concludes my week of turning in my tracker -- hopefully I will be more aware still and stick to my exercising as well. I lost 2 pounds this week so the effort must be worth it. (of course it will probably be back next week when i return to my regularly evening-weigh- in as opposed to this mornings un-normal time -- but we'll cross our fingers and hope for the opposite -- okay? okay.)

(1)bite of Ryan's evil donut he brought home from mutual that was stale - hence the one bite and not the whole THING

broke even today (accounting for my activity points of course) but didn't really have a great night as far as snacking goes. why does Biggest Loser always get me into trouble -- shouldn't it be just the opposite?

every day that passes, i'm less and less willing to post -- maybe no one is really checking this -- and i am only disappointing myself (likely the case anyway).

So I had a pretty good day -- yes, I know it looks like it's going downhill after lunch but after everything I was only 2 points in the hole!

In it to loose it!

I have rededicated. again. I love Tracy at WW. She's Miss motivation for me. Yesterday she said she did something that was just the something she needed -- it was to hand in her quick-track to one of her members. it's one thing to have to write down everything you eat and be honest with yourself -- but sometimes even that looses it's edge for me because no one ever looks at it. So this week- I am going to turn it in -- post it here for the world to see! (or at least the 3 people that look at this.) whether or not you give a rip what i'm eating for a week straight isn't negotiable -- i'm posting it anyway. i'm not promising it will all be super healthy foods -- (Adrienne will be here half of the time and she tends to get me into trouble, but TRY I WILL!) so off i go -- to make a healthy breakfast. I'll check back tonight.

Spelt Bread

This is my very first batch of spelt bread -- flour straight from Jamie -- with my brand new Bosch mixer!!! It turned out sooooo yummy -- go here to get the recipe. The thing I like best about it is the knowledge that it's actually a healthy bread for us -- the kids eat it like candy -- and I love, LOVE the texture. I think it's due to the amount of flax in it -- makes it nice and chewy soft.
