Food is Great, Carbs are Great. I love to eat.

I have been pretty quiet on this blog. I have been making up for it writing elsewhere. But mostly because I was in an eating slump. Not terribly balanced meals, quickies. But I noticed my snaking between meals had gone up. I am pretty sure I was replacing nutrition with something else. Granted my snacks were still mostly healthy and low cal/fat/sodium. But I think if I have better meals, I will be better off in the long run. My breakfast shrank from cereal, juice, yogurt and toast to just cereal and coffee. 4th of July weekend, I rollerbladed for 3 hours, and when finished was famished. I concluded that since my fat count is low, I was running out of "quick" energy. CARBS!

Fridays I work out in the afternoon. I got home around 4, after picking up some spinach and a few other things. I save $4 with my plus card.

I immediately started a French Onion Soup. I followed that prep with water for pasta. Once I got that going, I washed the spinach for a salad. Then I made croutons for the soup. Checking on the water and the soup, perdiodically, I was able to take some breathers. Once the pasta was done, though, I decided to have it and the salad. I was just too hungry by 5:30. The soup did not start boiling until 5, and I wanted it to boil a full hour. I'll have the soup last. I forget which culture has soup last. Well definitely my laid back hungry culture.
