No posts for awhile

Hello to all who check this site -

Just wanted to let you know that because of my busy life, I will not be posting on this site for awhile. I will let you know when I come back.

The movers came yesterday and took just about everything! We still have our computer, but no computer desk so our puter is not hooked up. I am actually posting from the library today.

Hope you are all having a healthy, happy, summer! I am trying my best to continue to stay active and eat healthy!

Aloha! See you on the mainland!

Love, Leah

Not so bad after all, just a few adjustments

So after reading over my food logs from the weekend, I realized that I did make some poor food choices. But, all in all I think it comes down to bad snacking. It also comes down to being so busy, forgetting to eat, starving and eating anything I can get my hands on when I do finally have the time to eat.



So until I can get more time in my day to fully plan out meals during the weekend, I just have to eliminate those poor choices from the house. For Example: tortilla chips and guac, brownies, snicker bar at grocery store, baked lays...and so on.

Sunday

Today was fast Sunday - for those of you who don't know what this is - it's when I fast for 2 meals and focus on my sprituality a little more. Well, the problem with this is when getting back home from church(our church schedule right now is 3-6 because we share the church building with multiple congregations) I am starving. So this is what happened -

In the car ride home from church -ate a granola bar(chewy kashi)

Ate these while the turkey dogs were grilling -baked lays; schezuan chips; diet root beer; 1 brownie(leftover from movie time last night)

Finally ate our meal - but was basically too full. I could not imagine not eating a real meal so i overate even when full......2 turkey hotdogs with chili and sprinkled cheddar cheese;1 diet natural hansons black cherry soda

Ate this while talking to Dan and just enjoying our evening -1 caramel cone by skinny cow
