Chia Pods
I found these today at Whole Foods. Blueberry ingredients: chia seed, blueberry puree, blueberries, coconut milk. 130 cal, 9 g fat, 8 g carb, 7 g fiber, 3 g protein. Good, but needs sugar! I got banana and mango as well, but haven't tried them. A fairly tasty and convenient way to get your fiber. Not cheap ($3 in the…

What do you all do with canned salmon?
Hey, I've been thinking about trying canned salmon. Living in the midwest, frozen salmon is expensive as is the "fresh" salmon of which I'm pretty dubious. So here are my two questions: 1.

Coconut Cupcakes
I got this idea from the cake mix + pumpkin puree recipes floating around. Coconut cake is an Easter tradition in my family and I wanted to try and lighten it up! This recipe makes 18-24 cupcakes; my nutrition calculations are for 18 cupcakes using 1/2 C shredded coconut. Nutrition for one cupcake: 165 kcal 8.0 g fat 21.4…

I was discouraged
When I weighed myself this morning, I had lost less than half a pound this week. Then out of the blue, I decided to measure my waist. I hadn't done that in about 3 weeks, since doing the initial calculations for IPOARM. So I took out my handy tape and wrapped it around my waist. Then I looked at what it said. Then I made…

I think my husband wants to beat me
At losing weight. Haha gotcha. It's actually bugging me. He doesn't finish the healthy meals I cook and he works out harder. And of course he has less to lose than I do. So I started smacking him around (only on his bum though).
