Oh, My.
Gary, Natalie, and I have been going to the gym erratically for a while. Gary decided that we should get the most from our efforts, so we signed up for some personal training sessions. Tonight we all went out and got weighed and measured. Wow, that was fun.
The personal trainer, a very nice young woman, talked with us about nutrition. She talked about eating 6 small meals a day to keep the body fueled. Eating 5 servings of fruits and veggies. Drinking lots of water. Limiting carbonated drinks to just one a week. Exercising at least three times a week, 1/2 hour of weights and 1/2 hour of interval aerobic exercise.
What I was most excited about is that she didn't mention anything about cupcakes or cookies. I take that to mean that they are not off limits. Makes sense to me.

You know, Annette, anything you eat standing up, doesn't count. That goes for those cupcakes, too.
One thing that we've been doing lately that is tasty is we start our day with this "green shake". what you need:
Frozen bananas
frozen peaches (from Costco)
Kale or Collard greens
water
Just blend it up and drink it first thing in the morning, it really is delicious.
The fact that you are living after being weighed and measured is a testiment to your skinniness. I would be in a coma!
You rock girl, just work that cupcake in there somewhere. You will be the next bestseller: THE CUPCAKE DIET.
I've always thought cupcakes were a vegetable!
