Day 18

Finally have internet set up in my place again, hooray!

I have had to find new things to eat for breakfast, since I haven't been eating cereal anymore. Usually, I have low-fat or fat-free organic vanilla yogurt with berries added, usually blueberries or raspberries.

Also found this really delicious organic instant oatmeal, it has several different types of grain - oats, barley, quinoa, rye, and wheat, and it has flax. The brand is Better Oats and it's called Raw, check it out. I usually add a little honey and some berries to add some flavor. The oatmeal is very rib sticking, I usually don't feel hungry again until later in the afternoon. Been eating a lot of blueberries lately, good antioxidants. I bought organic ones, they were very good, but this week I bought conventional ones as I got twice as many blueberries for the same price. But I think the organic ones tasted better - which I admit, could completely be in my head - but they seemed to have more of a blueberry flavor. But this week I couldn't justify spending the extra money.


Also have been eating organic eggs on weekend mornings, with lots of fresh veggies added. I have switched to natural peanut butter again for toast and sandwiches, no sugar in that. I used to eat it all the time while I was in college, I'm not sure why I stopped. Usually I will add just a tiny bit of honey to the toast or sandwich I make it with it to sweeten it a little, delicious.


Continuing to have positive results from making these changes. I'm not as hungry all the time, I don't crave sweets or junk, I swear my sense of taste has improved (maybe because I've eating less salt?), and I've lost another pound this week.
