I just had a great workout + steam at the gym! It was “leg” day so I started with 15 minutes on the elliptical machine while reading my new, can’t-put-down book:
Then, I did some lunges with a medicine ball, various machines and calves. It felt great. When I got home I made a post-workout snack including a fruit bowl (1 navel orange and a kiwi), a handful of whole wheat crackers and a small handful (not pictured, sorry!) of raw almonds…maybe around 10-12? I finished what was left at the bottom of my almond can. Need to buy more!
Now I’m energized and ready to start preparing for my practical later…

March 7, 2008 at 8:16 pmI love the elliptical machine. I had an obsession with it last year. I couldn’t get myself off of it, especially when I was reading a book.
I noticed you keep the peels on the sliced kiwi. This may be a stupid question… but do you eat it? Or do you take it off before eating it?

March 7, 2008 at 8:18 pmI always eat the skin! More fiber! Plus, who has the time to carefully scoop the little kiwi out of it?! I actually really like the skins…
Both of yall would actually really like this book. I def. recommend checking it out! Let me know what you think…

March 7, 2008 at 8:25 pmEating the skin on a kiwi?? Wow! It’s not furry? (they always seem like they would be prickly!!)

March 7, 2008 at 8:38 pmI was just fixing to ask about the skin on the kiwi. I’ve never seen anyone eat it. The furriness would throw me!

March 7, 2008 at 10:03 pmMMM I love Kiwi with skin too 🙂 I did it once out of laziness but I didn’t know others did it too… I like the chewiness of it…

I like popcorn but I would prefer to pop my own. I need to get a popcorn popper or something. Popcorn can def. be a very healthy snack if you limit the oil used and butter topping!

March 8, 2008 at 3:14 amI will definitely have to give the skin on a kiwi a try! The furriness of it always turned me off.
And about popcorn… I figured out the best method. I use a brown paper bag (lunch bag) and stick a few tablespoons of popcorn and microwave it until it’s all done. It’s so fast, and I never add oil. Maybe some nutritional yeast.

March 8, 2008 at 3:14 amI just bought a big bag of black popcorn to make on the stove. I was going to make it for the movie, but the kids fell asleep!
Anyway, I just wanted to share the book I found, I posted on Kath’s site as well. Its “Diet for a Posioned Planet’ by David Steinman. It was written in 1990 which really surprised me. It sounds along the same lines as your book. I just got it and haven’t started yet, but I can’t wait!
And Jenna, since you seem to love books as much as I do, I don’t know if you have “Half Price Books” down there, but they are fantastic. Last weekend, I spent $35 and got 5 books, 2 of which are text books. But it is a dangerous place, I can spend hours there and find many books I never knew I loved!
