Lori’s Reaching Towards the Summit

This seems to be a good guide to the amount of pesticides used on various fruits and veggies - http://www.foodnews.org/fulllist.php

I started Weight Watchers on Sunday and have lost almost 2 lbs. so proud of myself!  I even started exercising to get more activity points cuz I love my food :P  Been doing really well until today.  Got into a tiff and well, I ate because I was upset.  Of course, now I feel guilty.  I suppose I can count the banana bread as points and I’ll probably go over a couple of points which is really no biggie because I have an abundance of weekly points in addition to activity points.  Just stressed, that’s all.  I was looking forward to the 3 day weekend then crap happens at home.  *sigh*

Just wanted to write it out to relieve a bit of stress, thanks for reading.

Stumbling again :)  I found this page very, very useful as I get tons of cravings and maybe eating these foods will curb those nasty cravings - http://www.2ndwindbodyscience.com/what%20your%20food.php

at least that’s what this article states.  Good to know, I luv bananas - http://www.vitalhealthnews.org/issue4/banana.html

I exercise like 5 times a week for at least half an hour, weekends are off.  Now that I got the exercise thing down, I gotta work on portion control and water intake.  I have to make a conscious effort to drink water.  I stay at home and sometimes I get too involved in stuff around the apt. that I forget to hydrate myself.  Any ideas?  Also, because I stay home the fridge is easy access, gotta stop grabbing snacks.  They’re all healthy, we don’t have sugar or fatty foods, but still, it’s all portion control.

Glad I stumbled across this blog, sometimes oatmeal can get boring and bland.  Some of these are more like desserts but there are so many variations - http://www.katheats.com/kaths-tribute-to-oatmeal/

I’ve been Stumbling today for “Weight Loss” pages and have found a few good ones.  Here’s another for reference:  http://seosfightfat.com/nathaniajohnson/2008/02/22/158-fast-food-meals-for-500-calories-or-less/

Lots of ideas here.  A lot of the stuff I already knew, but most of the stuff is new to me.  I’m planning on printing it out and reading it a few times a week as a reminder.  The sections called “I Eat Healthy, but I’m Overweight. What Mistakes Could I Be Making without Realizing It?” and “What Can I Eat for a Healthy Low-Cal Dinner if I Don’t Want to Cook?” are really gonna help.

I need clothes, very badly.  I have ragged tshirts and shorts and I keep telling myself, “why bother to shop if I’m gonna lose weight”?  But I’ve been saying that for like a year lol.  I went this weekend and didn’t find anything that fit so got depressed.  Really, it’s not that I need clothes anyway, I stay at home with my kids and besides grocery shopping, I don’t go anywhere so why bother?
