Good Mornin!
Just got done doing my cardio for the morning, and now I am debating about breakfast. I figure this is going to turn into a daily journal of what I am doing/eating/excercise/etc. I am debating between eggs and oatmeal for brekkie. Maybe a small bit of oatmeal and an egg. Now that sounds good! LOL
On the crafting front, I am working on squares for baby blankets, and knitted teddy bears to go into little tote bags for kiddos in socail services to take when they go to thier foster parents. I am trying to focus more on just a few projects this year, rather then trying to get a bunch done for each month. I am also considering the 'power of one'. One hat, one pair of booties, one blanket, means that one more baby or child has something to keep them warm.
Ok--off for breakfast! I may be back later for an update :)

Welcome!!
Welcome to my blog!!
I ordered my Turbo Jam on Sunday (4/16) and I am now waiting some-what patiently for it to arrive! I live-chatted with customer service this morning and they told me that it is ready to ship and should be here in 5-7 biz days. Yippee!!
I have been doing other cardio waiting for it to arrive--things like cardio strip tease and other just cardio tapes. Diet wise, I have been following Nurishing Traditions and Eat Fat, Lose Fat. They focus on eating as our ancestors did--not cavemen, but how our grandparents did 'down on the farm'. Whole foods, soaked grains, sourdough bread, lacto-fermented foods, like pickles, kimchi and sourkraut. Big emphasis on using raw, or at least organic, milk, cheeses, butter and free range eggs. Organic veggies and fruit, home made salad dressings, and the use of coconut oils. Ok, so some of those things, my ancestors didn't have in scandinavia, but a lot they did. oh and I have cut out all white flour/pasta/rice and sugars--except for a drizzle of organic maple syrup!
Breakfast for me is usually a bowl of steel cut oats (soaked overnight in water) with a pat of butter and a drizzle of organic maple syrup. I have a glass of milk and my vitamins and cod liver oil and I am good go until just about lunch time (I eat breakfast about 3:30 am with dh). One thing I have found, is using a bit of fat in my meals helps keep my blood sugar level, I am satisfied for much longer and I don't snack nearly as much. Ok, so I will have a small snack at my 'down time' at 3:00--usually a piece of fruit and a couple nuts or a slice of cheese. Lunches usually are soup, bread and a salad, or soup and a sandwich. Dinner tends to be (at least the last 3 weeks) soup and bread, and I have been adding a side salad. I feel really good on this plan. I am going to try and stick with the no food 3 hours before bed. Dh and I ate very lightly today as we were out looking at manufactured homes today. He had his sandwiches that were left from work and I had a curried chicken sandwich and we ate about 4:30 or so... so a tad hungry now, but trying to be strong! So today, all I have had is the oatmeal at 3:30, and then the sandwich. And lots of water!!!
