Lose the fat

I heard on the radio this morning that Ima Pigg was suing her parents for naming her. So was Gonda Lier and Chanda Lier.

Got a haircut today, then stopped by the T&T Chinese supermarket afterwards. I was looking for some seaweed packets that Kyle discovered at school. They were collecting money for the earthquake relief effort going on in China. I saw whole chickens for sale including the head. That was unsettling, the frog's legs don't bother me, as it's only the legs. I did get some nice, fresh fruit and vegetables.

We're going to an art show tonight at L's school. She has some of her work on display. We've been seeing a nutritionist as she'd like to lose a bit of weight in a healthy manner. We discovered our diet is about 30% fat and it should be around 10%. So the burgers, pizza, cookies, and candy sort to have to take a back seat. Really, anything that we enjoy eating. I think we have to change our 'fat' mindset and re-learn what we think of as delicious. Another 'no no' is granola bars. They are a handy snack that is full of fat. So, I'm looking for more whole grain, low fat crackers instead. Sometimes fruit and vegetables aren't enough to satisfy, especially when you have an early dinner. I should probably make a lot more chicken and fish. M and K could use a few nutrition lessons, I've been preaching for years. K's favourite restaurant is still McDonald's. Although McDonald's does have a lot of healthy options that we never try. I like that they give nutrition breakdowns on all their products, usually right on the wrapper.
