WOW!

Wow - time sure does fly! I can't believe it's been over 4 months since I've blogged! :)

I'm going to start blogging what I eat again (will help me stay on track) and I will also be posting some recipes!

Here was yesterday:

Oatmeal with hot water, cinnamon, sliced almonds, Craisins and wheat germ

Leftover rigatoni & garlic bread for lunch

Pear for afternoon snack & a half cup of coffee

Breakfast for dinner! I do this once a week. I had leftover bread to use up from pasta night - so I made cinnamon toast with this instead of regular bread. So good!

Garlic and olive oil couscous stuffed tomatoes and zucchini

Rule # 45 - Eat Less

This is probably the most unwelcome advice of all, but in fact the scientific case for eating a lot less than we currently do - regardless of whether you are overweight - is compelling. "Calorie restriction" has repeatedly been shown to slow aging in animals, and many researchers believe it offers the single strongest link between diet and cancer prevention. We eat much more than our bodies need to be healthy, and the excess wreaks havoc - and not just on our weight. But we are not the first people in history to grapple with the special challenges posed by food abundance, and previous cultures have devised various ways to promote the idea of moderation. The rules that follow offer a few proven strategies.

My thoughts - this is so true, and I need to start working on my portion control again.
