The Good News

Taken on my walk

Well, it's a little breezy today, I went back to get my windbreaker. It's gorgeous and sunny however. The good news is I've lost the 3 pounds I gained. I decided to make a simple checklist of what I'm supposed to eat each day, based on the Canada Food Guide. The other trick is to really monitor the portion sizes. All the little extras do add up, especially if you're a food lover.

I just heard David Suzuki, the Canadian environmentalist on TV recommending that we all eat less meat. It's easier on the environment of all things and also healthier. Well, according to the Canada Food Guide, I only need 2 palm-sized pieces of meat per day anyway.

Well done Christine on losing a few pounds.
I have been able to keep my weight in check by watching the portion size and not eating after 6pm at night. AND walking for an hour each day.

My brother is left handed so I will have to tell him about the new undies...LOL

I think I will heed the warning about not sleeping enough and go to bed earlier.

Take care mate
