I had a lovely breakfast this morning...a whole medium Haas avocado (yum!) and 5 oz. of sirloin steak tips. Today I'm feeding my muscles. Yesterday I fed my need to clean out the pipes. I ate 70 gm of fiber! Avocado, spinach and a few vegetarian beans. Plus lots of water. It worked.
Yesterday on Food Network, I watched Giada De Laurentis make a beautiful dish of cheese ravioli with a sauce of sauteed pancetta and arugula. So, first she cooks the pancetta to render the fat, then she scoops that out of the pan, throws in some olive oil and a knob of butter and the arugula. Once the arugula cooks down, she adds another knob of butter to finish the sauce and make it all shiny. How is this woman so thin!!!!!!?????? This is a prime example of taking beautiful, healthy vegetables and ruining their effect on a healthy life. It's how I got fat and developed type 2 diabetes, on perfectly healthy, organic choices, with extra whole-grain carbs, cheese and butter on the side. Over-indulgences, even on healthy choices, produce poor effects.
Today I decided to reduce my cable TV to basic service...no more food porn! It's like hanging out with the wrong crowd. I do loves me some TV, so cutting that back and replacing it with something that supports my efforts is going to be like finding new friends that don't drag me back to where I used to be, a lethargic couch potato. I think it's time to crack open some books for recreational purposes.
I have been on the computer a lot the last few days, for work (I'm a web designer and content writer). So absorbed in what I was doing that I forgot to do the laundry all weekend and I didn't have anything to wear to Pilates this morning! What a lame excuse! So, the laundry is getting done now, and I will be doing some Pilates and walking on the treadmill at home today. Plus, I feel the need to pump some iron, but no lateral raises. Those are bothering my shoulders.
