Yesterday I downloaded nutrition software and did an analysis of what I ate:
I was not surprised to find that my carb % is slightly higher than ideal and protein and fat slightly less.
I also was pleased that if my body is absorbing the vitamins I take that I am getting what I need including calcium and vitamin D. I was worried about the recommended overload of vitamin D recommended by my GP and Ob/Gyn this past week but did research on internet and am OK with it. Also I can see why my weight is remaining stable. Although it would be "nice" to be 5 pounds thinner and super "tight" muscularly, both doctors think my current weight of 127-130 is smarter for my age. I think its ok mostly because I don't have to be concerned with dieting! Thus, moderate and balanced physical conditioning is a goal and being aware of eating and vitamin intake.
Caveat: days indoors with cold weather--not enough exercise!
January 27: The goal now is to find recipes and healthy food that I can really enjoy eating. With cold weather Tue-Thur that would be good time for the search.
January 30: planned meals for February--meals that will work for DH and sometimes for me. Have collected a few recipes to try.
January 31: much healthier eating today--I find it strange that the tension of the weather prompted some yucky mindless eating i.e. pretzels and pimento cheese.
