Another Windy Wednesday, March 31

Hi All!

Lots to do today, so I'll make this quick!

Melissa...I'll try to explain that a little better. For me, one carb allowance equals 15 grams of carb. So, if (on a label) a serving of a food is 30 grams of carbs (or even 26 or 28), I have to count it as 2 carb allowances (from my 13 total allowances/day). I know what you mean about serving sizes...especially with the starchy foods. I was eating about double what I should have. Anyway...once I get used to this system, I will be able to just add up, in my head, how many carb "allowances" , protein allowances and fat allowances I've had each day. She assured me it was easier than counting calories. I've been adding calories just to be sure it's all lining up the way it should be and sure enough, it is. Whew!

Breakfast, lunch, and snacks the same today
Dinner...finally having those chicken breasts, 1/2 baked potato, broccoli and carrots for dinner.

Exercise...the 20 minute mile and TONS of grocery shopping.

Have a GREAT day all,
PJ
