Simple, Sound Nutrition

This blog is intended to help women and men come to grips with nutrition. We all have a ton of questions about nutrition and don't know where to look for help. You can't depend on tv, magazines or your local gym for advice. They all give all sorts of confusing information and you never know what's completely bogus. Well, I plan to give you my advice, per Heidi and my background, which is a BS in Dietetics. I also have 4 kids and a husband to feed on a daily basis so I would love to share some great meal ideas and shopping tips. Please feel free to comment, ask questions, share recipes, etc.

Day 13 - My Nutrition Challenge Report

Ok, so it's been 2 weeks now and it's getting a little more difficult to stay focused. It's so easy to find excuses to eat poorly and not work out. This week I made it to the gym 3 times but I could have done better. I did increase my water intake which I was proud of. You just have to remember to fill up the bottle and put it in the fridge a couple times and you reach the 8 cup minimum pretty easily. Stay away from juice and drink a lot of water and you reduce your calories while subduing your appetite in between meals. It's great. This week I tried to add a new veggie into our diet. I bought and made collard greens which ended up being really good! My husband really liked them. I just cooked them with chicken broth and garlic and they turned out really well.


wt: 122 Lb (maintaining)
Mile: 9 min 52 sec
waistline: 29 in (no change) (Here is where diet really shows itself. I'm working out but still splurging on sweets, especially on the weekend. I really need to watch those extra calories.)
Energy Levels: It's getting much easier to run on the treadmill and I feel like I have more energy to work out. I still need to get more sleep and cut back on the sugar intake.

Week 3 around the corner! Yeah! Gotta keep with it!
