Sigh...every time I see these videos or even read articles about so called "healthy" foods that are making people fat, it kinda upsets me. Why? Because as a consumer we are lied to so much! One thing I have learned, yet sometimes I forgot, is that food manufacturers and heck even the darn FDA is all about the mighty dollar. They will say anything to the consumer if they think it will help them make more money!
As a consumer we have to read labels, cause as this article & video points out, alot of these things have been introduced to us as "healther" options and subsitutions which in fact they are just as bad as they thing we are replacing it with. Man, it is very very important that we READ LABELS & DO OUR OWN RESEARCH about food!

Time to Face the Music
Howdy Partners,
I know I posted last week that I was getting back on track with dieting & excercise, but damn its been a rough road back to the start line. Today after I got off of work I went and bought a scale. Sigh.
As much as I dread getting on the scale I need to track my progress regardless of what direction the progress is moving. I got home and got on the scale..and Oh my Word. Not a pretty number starting back at me. Wowzers.
I will weigh myself first thing tomorrow morning and update my "Weigh In" log.
On another note. Pictures from the Arthritis Walk this past Saturday have been posted. These are candid shots taken at the event, so I really had no idea they were taken. All it takes is a few shots of yourself from an unflattering angle to light the fire under my tale! Pictures have been added to the phot journal, but here is one of them.

Recap of Wednesday June 1, 2011
Alrighty, as you can see I forgot to update things last night. So here is a quick run down of yesterday, hopefully I remembered everything.
Breakfast
Cup of Baked Apple Oatmeal
Cup of Yogi Berry DeTox Tea
Cup of veggies (brussel sprouts & broccoli)
Mid Morning Snack
Apple
Lunch
Homemade Salad (spinach, lettuce, chicken, balsamic vinagriette)
1 steak taco (that was very nasty by the way, and I did not eat the shell just the middle)
Afternoon Snack
Small bag of Sour Cream & Onion Chips (smh)
Dinner
Big Buford Burger from Rallys (smh...again)
I was very very excited yesterday, I started to add things to my online food journal @ Fitday.com, and as I was on the website I noticed they had an app for the Iphone! Imagine my excitement. So I downloaded it on my phone and its cool, its very user friendly, and all the foods I have entered online I have access to on my phone. I now have no excuse not to keep my food journal updated! This goes down as a product recommendation!
Toodles!
