am not dieting

I am no longer trying to loose weight. My new goal is to try to eat healthier so I don't have to worry about it later when its crunch time. :)

Week 9 Day 1

Breakfast: Bowl of Cinnamon toast crunch (although I like it I prefer non sweet cereal, am weird like that).

Lunch: a bowl of grapes (sweet and delish) a bowl of pasta with spinach again. I am an animal of habit specially right now that I can't hold much down. Whatever works I keep eating more of it.

Dinner: bowl of spinach (okra & ground beef), raspberry tea with milk and cookies. Homemade Rice treat. lots of water.

Week 8

Breakfast.
Bowl of cereal with milk and some water.

Lunch: pasta with spinach as the sauce with some ground beef and okra. yum.

snack: ate some more of the above pasta

dinner: milkshake made from vanilla/caramel ice cream and sugar. Wanted banana milkshake but no bananas :( More pasta with spinach. some fruit called carambola.

Food journal FINALLY!

in between my nausea I am not getting that much food in my system. Alhamdulillah so far I have been able to keep what I eat but it is a HARD battle.

So today I spent most of the morning sleeping.

woke up
ate a couple of bites of melon, a bowl of pasta with ground beef, a bowl of cereal.

Lunch.
Ate a bowl of melon with whip cream, more pasta with ground beef, glass of banana milkshake and water.

dinner
1 and a half pancakes and a glass of milk. Still hungry though.

Peace be with you السلام عليكم

I have been baking away my vegetables and I love it! So my newest test was to take brocolli and baked them, I added garlic salt, a little butter and onions. OMG. Knocked my socks right off.

Also after eating like POUNDS worth of the little trees I looked it up to see its nutritios content and was amazed. Check it out at World's Healthiest Food

so i have been loosing weight and although I noticed that I weigh less on the scale my belly isn't getting any smaller. It's not a huge belly or anything but I just noticed that there was more of it so I turned to the hubs to ask his opinion. He looked suspicios and thought it was a set up. After giving him the "you are darned if you do and darned if you don't" look he complied and agreed.

SO what I think I have been loosing has been BAD weight. Meaning that I had lost MUSCLE weight instead of fat. crapiola! I need to start exercising. I know I have been saying it for quite some time but I want to get healthy not just loose weight.

ps someone emailed me the following pic and wanted to share with you.

The CORRECT way to weigh ourselves
