I love oats!

Mmmmm.....I'm eating my oats YIPPEE!!

I am going to the in-laws this year for Thanksgiving and think i'll be making macaroni and cheese. I've never made it before so this will be interesting. The pigs I work with are having a pitch in next Friday so I may experiment on them. I try to educate them about nutrition but I think i'm wasting my breath. One of them grabbed a cinnamon roll yesterday and told the other these only have 4g of fat. So I butted in and said how many carbs and sugars do they have? She looked at me like ummm....I said fat is not the only thing you look at. I feel sorry for them because that is the exact way I use to be. Now I don't have to read labels because everything I eat is healthy obviosuly but you would feel sorry for me going down the grocery aisle. I think I have some sort of reading labels disease because I have to look at everything and try and memorize the cals/carb/ and fat content???? I never said I was a sane person.

I did my early cardio again this morning. I think i'll stick with it on Monday, Wednesday and Thursday and stay active on the weekends walking my dog and stuff. Sounds like a plan to me and Tony thought it was great too!!

Finishing my tea and then it's off to work BOO!!!

I hear you on the labels. I'm constantly studying them.

cinnamon rolls.

I remember those days. When I got married (15 years ago this month!) Russ and I were trying to lose weight and get healthy. I would tell him that we needed to cut out fat and really "carb load" and "carb it up!"

I would eat lots of pasta and bread, thinking it was gonna make us lose weight.

No wonder I gained 50 pounds the first year I was married.

sigh.

Glad we know better now. :)

I can recite most of them from memory...my friends call me obsessed, maybe they are right but it's better than the alternative.

I'm like that with the fast food places. I know the stats so I stay away from them, and I know the stuff that is okay to have. Nothing wrong with knowledge

Good to see you survived the no carb yet again!! Are you feeling less doughy :)! I love my oats too, I was so happy to see I can have 1/4 cup for mornings this week! Other than that it's protein for me!

Have a grand hump day!

:) Tina

Apirl,

Way to go on getting the cardio in!! I am done with my cardio too! Now I just have to lift tonight.

I know what you mean about the labels and all. After losing the weight I too know the stats of things by hard and my friends come to me like I am an encyclopedia, lol.

Have a great evening :)
