Man, food is starting to consume my life! It’s not that I crave food, or even that I’m hungry; it is just that I am now aware of everything I eat. The hardest thing for me is getting enough protein.
Tim told me about this website: http://www.livestrong.com/myplate/ It is an excellent way to track all the nutrients in everything you eat. I'm learning that if I get enough protein, I’m getting too much cholesterol. I’m extremely healthy for my age, but I do have borderline-high cholesterol, so I have to watch it.
It really helps to have two protein shakes a day, and my friend Jerry told me to eat one egg mixed with ¼ c egg whites. That way you get a complete protein with less fat and cholesterol. I scrambled them up this morning and they tasted pretty good! Great tip Jerry!
I was really busy today but at 8:00 PM I finally had time to get in a brisk 50 minute walk. I downloaded trainer Kathy Smith on my keychain trainer and away we went. I’m so glad I did, it made me feel proud of myself for not messing up my perfect exercise attendance!
