Food for Thought - Thoughts of Food
Posted by Liza under Personal
I have been doing absolutely craptastically at reporting my fruit & veggie eating, and my treat eating.
Partly, it is because I haven’t been doing well on the fruit & veggie eating. But I haven’t been eating that much junk either. Or exercising.
Apparently the lack of eating junk has made a difference, because I am down to 10 lbs above pre-pregnancy weight!
So I’m going to resume recording what I eat, so I’m motivated to eat good things as well as avoid eating treats.
AND, assuming I get some kind of raise when all that stuff trickles down over the next 6 weeks, I am going to spend some of mine on exercise in some form or another. (A class? A gym that opens really really early in the morning?)
Fruit & Veg Count, 1/23: I had the most amazing sweet potatos ever yesterday. I read somewhere that you can cook them in the crock pot on low all day, and I tried it. Yes, it left carmelized goo all over the bottom of the pot. But WORTH IT. I will never plan to bake a sweet potato again. The skins peeled off, the potato was so soft and sweet. Mmmmm. Mmm! If you have a crock pot, you must try this.
None today. Maybe I will have an apple on my way to the grocery store, where I’m going now.

I am addicted to my crock pot AND to sweet potatoes, so this is great news. What did you put into the pot with them? Water? Juice? Or just straight up dry tubers? Inquiring minds want to know!

Just straight up dry tubers, pierced.
