Calorie Intake and Outtake

Spinach Challenge!

I mentioned earlier that my stomach seems to be able to fit almost endless amounts of food. Also I can get incredibly hungry. As for this soup; I found that even after a really big portion of it, I still felt like my stomach was just a great big hole in my body. Not a very comfortable feeling. So when I cooked my latest batch of my negative calorie vegetable soup I was looking for ways to make it more filling. What I came up with was spinach! Everybody seem to agree that spinach is a very healthy food choice and it has so few calories in it that it's virtually impossible to get fat from eating it. So I bought a package of frozen spinach and used lots of it in my soup, enough almost to make the soup look a little bit like a vegetable porridge. Perfect!

After trying it out for a couple of days now I can confirm that it did help some. I still maintain a weird, hollow sort of feeling in my stomach even after eating a pretty big portion. BUT, the feeling is not as strong as it was before and not as bad. So, I've decided that including spinach in as many types of dishes as possible when I start cooking more "normal" food is going to be one of my challenges! What are yours?

Now that's encouraging ;) I'm sure I will get down to normal weight in time but I don't think I would ever get down to a "size 0" - and nor would I want to. That's just simply TOO skinny!

Oatmeal Recipes

This is really just for myself. My current favourite starting website has collected a number of recipes with oatmeal that I decided I would try out soon. But to make life a little easier for myself I thought I would make more own, more compact collection.

Virtual weight loss!

Don't you wish it would be as easy to lose weight and tone up in reality as it is with Photoshop!

Stress Blues

Today wasn't really the best day. I woke up quite late (thanks to last night's late surfing so it was my own doing) and felt very dehydrated and hungry. For breakfast I had some fruit salad in accordance with my diet plan for this week but since I was so hungry I increased the amount. I figured that I would probably just eat something worse if I couldn't fight off that hunger. My next problem was that I had finished all of the vegetable that I'm suppose to eat for the next two weeks so I had to make a new batch.

A little gloating is allowed, right?

Just wanted to share this article that I stumbled over tonight about "How men caught the weight watching bug". I know this probably makes me a horrible person but I couldn't help gloating a bit when I read it.
