This week I'm trying a new app. It is called "My fitness pal". I think I like it. Ok I know I like it, and I have been using it for the past few days. I don't know for how long I will use it. It is a somewhat attention demanding app because I have to post all the food I eat, drink, and the exercises I do. Of course I don't really have to do any of those things, but for now, I want to. Since I have been very aware of all of those aforementioned things I may be loosing a few pounds in the next few weeks, the app asked for goal-weight so I set a goal to loose 7lb, and at this rate I will loose them by the end of March. My plan is to continue to do my best, not because loosing 7 lbs is that important but because I have actually put a lot of thought into what I'm eating and drinking, and for quite a while I have noticed that I eat mindlessly, even when I'm not really hungry and then I don't feel my best (physically, I can't go to bed with a full stomach, I sleep poorly when I do). Also, when I think of something great that I want to have, usually dessert, all I have to do is exercise enough to "gain" extra calories. Like today I knew that I was going to indulge with a root-beet float after dinner and so I spent 20 + minutes doing aerobics, and I joined the kids at the trampoline even though I didn't really felt like jumping, and now I don't feel guilty, I may even have a few more calories to spare, which I will not use just in case I'm not being accurate in my food diary.

Fruit salad, very delicious! |
If you have been reading my blog you may know that I'm trying to cut most of the dairy, and meat food from our diet. I must say that I'm doing ok, not great, but good enough that I feel good about my food choices. My dinners and specially my lunches look very colorful. We usually only eat meat or animal products and dairy on the weekends with a few slip-ups. The slip ups are mainly because I don't want to feel to restricted and get tired of my healthy foods.

Here we are enjoying our fruit salad and french bread and tortilla chips with humus |

yesterday we tried my homemade spring-rolls, again, Aiden didn't enjoy them as much as Bella and I did |
|
Today we went to the Sandhill Horticultural gardens with their friend John and my friend Andrea (his mom) |
|
we had great time at the garden, it was nice, quiet, the temperature was perfect, even though unbeknownst to us there was a tornado warning for our area |
|
and now it is time for bed |
so Good night!!!
