My whole house is down with a wicked little cold virus. It started with Coby on Friday. On Sunday it got me and I slept from noon til 9pm, woke up for one hour, then went back to bed and slept another 8 hours. Poor Eddy has it now.
Now about the goals, last week's protein goal went super duper. It's surprising how little protein a body needs to feel full.
This week's goal: Pay special attention to grain products.
The Canada Food Guide tells me that chickees my age need 6-7 servings of grains per day. Some examples of one serving: 1 slice of bread, 1/2 whole grain muffin, 1/2 c. cooked rice or pasta, 3/4 c. cooked cereal, 2 c. plain popcorn, 1/2 tortilla, 1 small pancake, 1 small roll, 2 medium rice cakes.
I am very good at sneaking an extra little bit of rice or pasta. It might not show up on the scale right now, but eventually my sneakiness will stop working. So, this week I am going to pay attention to grains by measuring my rice, pasta and cereal to make sure I am getting the right amount: no more, no less.
