4.6.2008

Spring is finally here. We have taken 2 walks in 2 days. We walked around our neighborhood for 20 minutes yesterday, and at Fairbanks Park for about 15 minutes after breakfast today.

We went to Cracker Barrel this morning, and our meal sharing has continued. I got an omelet, and Sean got pancakes, and we split them, so we both got some carbs and some protein. We did this a couple of nights ago at La Familia de Jeshua, too. We both got spinach salads, and split a calzone. Sharing meals seems to be a way for us to indulge a bit and control portions.

Had my last session for the study at ISU yesterday. We were to take 2 foods for a meal; 1 healthy and 1 not so healthy. I took cottage cheese as my not so healthy, and explained my experiment to them. I took my homemade salsa and baked scoops for the healthy. You get about 15 scoops for 120 calories, and my salsa is just tomatoes, onion, garlic, cilantro, jalapeno pepper and salt and pepper; very low in calories and chock full of good nutrients. And if you have your own bowl of salsa, you can double dip those 15 scoops as often as you want!
