Hey hey hey....Sunday afternoon, and I made myself a nice salad with tuna. I had bought this salad spritzer awhile ago, and thought it would be good for my salad. It's "balsamic breeze". There is no flavor, I keep spraying thinking if I spray just a little more it might start to have some flavor. Nothing. Thankfully I have olive oil and balsamic vinegar to make my own salad dressing.... ahhh, now that is good! I mean I want to be healthy, but I don't want to torture myself.
I feel pretty good. I grabbed Dr. Oz's book "You On A Diet" off my bookshelf and started looking through it again. He's got so many great points in there. The one that stuck today was talking about not calling it a "diet". He says that by doing that you feel deprived. He also says if you feel you blew it, don't worry about it, just get back on track. I am going to write down some of his other points in my next blog that you may find helpful.
Mike gets back from vacation Wednesday. I hope he has been doing well and found a place to work out at. I am so proud of him for sticking with going to the gym. I actually went today too!
And after my workout went in the Sauna, it's good for you especially before you work out to loosen up your joints...I didn't think I would like it, but I did!
Back to my salad...
Love,
Jeannie

I think that it is great that you tried the salad spritzer, sometimes it takes a few try's before you find something that is good for you and you like it too! Something I have found to be a good snack is Fiber One bars. They come in Chocolate and Oats and Peanut butter and oats. They are great and have like 35% of the daily fiber that you need. Keep it up!
Something else that is really good on salads is sunflower seed kernels! They give your salad a little kick as well as being really good for you. I am still stuck to my O'Charley's honey mustard dressing though (Some things you just can't give up:-)!)
I have decided that I am going to start training for a marathon. A 5K or something small right now. I don't think I will be ready for a few months, but I am going to try.
I am now 3 pounds away from hitting my 25 pound goal.
Jeannie is right, it isn't a diet. It is a lifestyle change. It is hard to do at first, but as long as you keep trying you will succeed. Keep it up everyone!!
I LOVE the Balsamic Breeze Salad Spritzer!!! There IS taste to it! Did you shake it before you sprayed??? You need like 2 sprays per bite.
I'm very proud of you and I agree with not calling it a diet..it's a way of living. Fiber One bars are great and so are Zone Bars, the chocolate peanut butter is AMAZING! Love you and God Bless

Omigosh, my family has one of those. Haven't tried it yet though. Haha, now I know what to expect.
Balsamic Vinegar and olive oil does make good dressing, exspecially if you buy those Italian Dressing packets too. YUM!
