Food Log (8 September 2011)

Goodness, I can't believe it's the end of Thursday already. Sort of scarey how time is just flying by, next thing I know it'll be Christmas. Hopefully by then I'll have lost a lot more weight.

I'm getting better at my walks, I can walk fast now even without the black rain clouds as a threat over my head. It doesn't feel like I'm walking fast anymore, which is a nice thing. I check the stopwatch two times during the walk to time myself.

Food wise I'm having a naughty streak, I'm having cravings of chocolates and sweets. But I've been trying to keep it in check. Though I do have to say darn those salt and vinegar crisps, oh well, I blame myself because they taste so good I'm really hungry today too, but I'm trying to keep it in check, all my meals today I felt like I could have ate a lot more, but didn't. I thought to myself don't let mother nature make you gain 3 lbs.

I decided to experiment with dinner tonight. I wanted battered fish, but I didn't want to use wheat flour, so I used wholegrain spelt flour instead. It turned out really yummy, and my OH enjoyed it alot. I also tried experimenting with my carbs by making 1/4 quinoa, 1/4 oats, 1/4 barley, and 1/4 basmati rice. It turned out really nice, it was very similar to rice, but low GI
