I am going to try and give up MOST processed foods. There will be a few exceptions, like Mineral Water, Wine, Beer, and Alcohol in moderation, Organic Dark Chocolate, and processed foods that provide a health benefit to compensate for it not being in it's original state. I can have some condiments like Mayo and Mustard and Salsa, but if I can make it from scratch, that is what I will try and do. Canned and frozen meats and vegetables are also ok, though if I can get organic and fresh, that is preferred. ABSOLUTELY NO white flour, HFCS, white rice, white pasta. ABSOLUTELY no artificial ingredients or chemical names in the product! I also plan to limit my carbs a bit - not go Atkins crazy, but still try and find something besides a starch to round out my meals until Easter.<br />
<br />
Wish me luck ... and send me hopeful wishes that the scale really shows the changes!Annie-go-lightlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13447830201531930756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32061865.post-3790069865438243512010-02-11T08:15:00.000-08:002010-02-11T08:15:11.267-08:00Sleep Education: Let’s Sleep: Preventing Obesity in Children<a href="http://sleepeducation.blogspot.com/2010/02/lets-sleep-preventing-obesity-in.html">Sleep Education: Let’s Sleep: Preventing Obesity in Children</a>Annie-go-lightlyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13447830201531930756noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32061865.post-82256132989776617182010-02-09T10:55:00.000-08:002010-02-09T10:57:51.885-08:00Laugh at the Irony - #1I could choose to have this piss me off or choose to laugh it off:<br />
