It's been a good week on the health front.
In the year+ since I dropped all of that weight I managed to put a good deal of it back on. It didn't happen all at once, but as I became less watchful of my diet it slowly crept back up. Even though I did occasionally indulge in less healthy foods, I think I was mostly guilty of just over indulging. Too much of a good thing isn't good when it comes to overeating.
This week I've been paying close attention to my food amounts and have done well. I'm also getting back on the walking daily. I've managed my 10,000 steps 4 out of the last five days and plan to keep it up. I am still a believer in eating for weight management and exercising for good health. The goal is to be back under 200 pounds by 2016.
I threw together a very tasty salad to go with dinner last night -- baby spinach leaves, 1/2 a chopped apple, chopped walnuts, craisins and Panera's Fuji apple vinaigrette dressing. You should give it a try. It was delicious.
I've got another recipe I'm working on for a healthy snack. I'll post it as soon as I get it worked out. I've tried a few variations and think the next one will be my final one.
I plan on making some granola soon. I have a couple of recipes in mind. If you have a favorite that you use, please share it with me.
Be well,

I can totally relate to your experience of weight loss and gain. Been there, done that. It's deceptively easy to fall back into old unhealthy habits gradually and not notice the change. I too am trying to be more healthy. Bought myself an eliptical machine this week and am planning on tackling the exercise portion of healthy living.
