The leftovers things is both a plus and a minus.  Plus - I eat less and HAVE leftovers and it makes me feel dainty to eat less.  Plus - the food dollar goes a lot longer.  What I used to consume in one meal, now takes 2, 3 or 4 times.  Minus - boring eating the same stuff several days in a row - and if I put anything else in small containers in my freezer, I will either be shunned from  my home or the freezer will fall through the floor :)

Freezing leftovers in small servings = smart! 

Quick post today, am Skyping my folks so gotta dash.

Looking good!!  

Hello,

30 mins  on treadmill.  Today I ran for a mile non-stop for the first time.  Then walked the rest of the time on an incline. 

Talk to me about what your goals and targets are for carbs or whatever you're trying to watch out for. 

Hi Major Mom,

My goal is to get to 25% body fat...not so concerned about weight anymore. I don't know what my goal or target should be for carbs.  I do think I need to cut them because I'm always over 100 grams a day.  Sometimes I'm at 120 or even 130 a day. 

Fat is about 40-45grams/day.  Protein is about 100-140/day.  I recently incorporated protein shakes into my diet before that I was getting about 80-90 with food alone.  Am I on the right track?

I would cut back on the fruit until you're at your body fat or weight goal, which you certainly set for yourself. As a DSr, you want your fat higher than your carbs and your carbs below 100 grams a day.

Thank you so much!!!
