so many things, so little time.

I'm actually starting to enjoy this health-kick, no lies.  I'm finding out so many things about my body, and when I get my Jawbone Up Band [just so you know that I still really want it] I'll be able to track even more how certain foods make me feel.


I was working out today -- side note -- I have been increasing my distance weekly by 1/4 of a mile and am now comfortably 1 1/2 miles on the elliptical daily -- and I was reading an OK! Magazine.  Miranda Kerr [gorgeous super model fashionista] was talking about her diet, and what she does to look fabulous.  She follows the Blood Type Diet.  Now this isn't a diet per say -- it's refers to diet in a what kind of foods you should eat, not how to lose weight.  So, I was thinking, maybe I could take some of the things that are shown to be healthier for my blood type, and still do weight watchers.

yeah, she's gorgeous. 

So, I'm supposed to stay away from red meats, scallops -- grapefruits, plums, lemons, green teas are a go. High alkaline foods like -- raw sugars, soybeans and soymilk, sweet potatoes, broccoli, olive oil, almonds and green teas are supposed to be what my body needs.  

The good news is I am already doing a lot of this.  The one thing that I can not do is give up tangerines.  I love them.  I could eat them all the time.

I'm not weighing myself for a while.  I know that the scales haven't changed no matter how good I feel.  I am going to up my water intake and try to start eating more of the foods that are good for my body.  I'm still slightly discouraged.  The last time I weighted I had not lost anymore than that inital amount, and that's a bummer.  So, I am not doing it for a while.  I am just going to let it be.  Keep trucking, one step at a time.

yep.
