Okay...it's going to say September 11th on my journal, but it's actually still the 10th for me. Yes, it's 1:21 in the morning, but since I haven't been to sleep yet, it hasn't changed the date yet -- that's my thinking at least, no matter how derranged! LOL
Sooooo, since it's the 11th, I would first like to give my thoughts to the millions affected by the Twin Towers!! It definitely didn't only affect those in NY at the time or the family members of the victims. It affected so many more than can be thought of! Every soldier that's fighting right now - every family member or loved one of theirs, every innocent civilian in the countries that where we're fighting....I could go on and on. Today, 7 years ago, CHANGED THE WORLD!!!
And TODAY, will continue to change MY world forever!! As I continue on with my own fight...the fight over my self-control...and this is a fight I am DETERMINED to win!! This week, the food may have won the battle, but the war will be MINE!
I'm still needing to tweek my intake better. Since writing out the nutritional information on some of my meals this week (started that 'religiously' on Saturday), I've found that I was doing better on some instances than I thought, but really need to buckle down on others!! One good thing is that I'm definitely eating breakfast every day. That may seem like a small feat to some of you - but trust me, it's huge for me. LOL.
One other thing I found today....I do actually like fruit!! LOL. As I said yesterday, I'm a texture person, so there are VERY few fruits I can bring myself to eat - apples, strawberries and grapes. Anything past those and you can probalby forget it. But today I went to the store - I bought some apples to have in the fridge, I got some bagels (going to have half a bagel with peanut butter for breakfast for some protien), some cereal bars for quick breakfasts (though I won't buy them again I don't think - not impressed with the protien levels on this brand - will go back to my old brand).....and more importantly, I bought some dried fruit!! Decided it wasn't going to hurt me to give them a try, and if I liked them, WHAM, easy snack! So I bought the Welch's variety pack of dried fruit - they come in pre-portioned 90 calorie packs. There's Tropical Sensations, Berry Medley and Mixed Fruit. I had the mixed fruit one -- apples, cherries, pineapple, cranberries & raisins. Oh man - they were soooooo good! And it definitely killed my hunger for a few hours - great snack for me. :) ((Now, the sugar is a little scary in some of them, the Mixed Fruit was the best with a whopping 17g of sugar!!))
So...since I was enjoying my dried fruit, I was curious...How much dried fruit would you have to eat in order to equal a true serving of fruits for the day?? The pack didn't have any of that info designated on it, and since I was waiting outside my son's school for him to get out, I couldn't get on the Net to find out. Therefore, I did the next best thing...I called Welch's. LOL. And the poor lady, after searching through three different notebooks and telling me she couldn't find the answer, she got it! 1/4 cup of dried fruit = one daily serving of fruits!! :) YEA - newfound knowledge - LOVE IT!!
