Something Good With Something Bad
Have you ever tried to eat healthy and then the healthy
thing you’re integrating into your daily diet gets completely ruined because
you pair it with an unhealthy item? I
had a craving for rice cakes recently.
The boring, plain, un-flavorful disks in a stack. Yeah, those.
They’re low in calories, don’t have added sodium, and are nice and
crunchy.
Last night, the only thing I could think about before I went
to bed was rice cakes with cream cheese.
Not the better-for-you cream cheese bleh stuff, but the real,
unadulterated plain cream cheese in the block that’s used for things like
cheese cakes and on bagels for non-dieters.
The weight of the layer of cream cheese was probably more than twice the
total weight of the rice cakes. But boy
was it good.
I’m doing okay on weight loss. Not dropping the pounds like I want to, but I’m
not going up. I’m stabilizing my diet,
which means getting a good balance of cravings, caloric intake, healthy food
and exercise needs. It’s a work in progress. It had better be a work in successful
weight-loss progress.
The Big Boy Update: Friends came over for
dinner. The wife is someone I trust to
give me good, honest baby advice. She
laughed a lot at my son and said he was funny.
I sure hope she means normal, silly baby funny. She assured me he was doing all sorts of
things babies at his age do. She also
gave me good advice on eating habits and how to teach him to feed himself.
The Tiny Girl Chronicles: Tired and hungry day. She ate three meals today in one
setting. None of the eating a little and
then deciding twenty minutes later she’s still hungry. Five ounces in one go three meals in a
row. But we couldn’t get her to stay
awake between meals. Hopefully she’s not
going to be up all night. Last night she
went from 10:00PM to 5:30AM which is a new nighttime sleep record.
