Super Foods

I'm currently reading an article about super foods here are some of the important pieces:

1. Strawberries, raspberries, blueberries and blackberries.
High vitamin and fiber content
Antioxidants
Boosts your memory
Naturally low in calories, high in water

2. Citrus
Vitamin C
Lots of fiber

3. Veggies
Good for hair and skin
Lycopene in tomatos and watermelon for heart health

4. MY FAVORITE: whole grains
Protein, B vitamins, fiber and minerals
Contain same antioxidants as nuts and veggies
May prevent heart disease, cancer, obesity and diabetes


well those were my favorites and now a list of some of the foods with the highest carb counts and GI counts:

Sugar
Potatoes
Pasta
White flour
candy
chips
ketchup
White rice

Try to use these foods sparingly. They could be the reason why you are plateauing on a diet or just not making a dent at all in your love handles.

First Day Off

Today is my first day off.
Yesterday was my first day back at school and I must say that it wasn't a full success.
I made it there for my first class but neglected to take some pain meds when I needed them and let the pain get out of control.
I wrote to the teacher that teaches the class that I missed last night and tried to explain why I was gone.
It is so hard to try and explain the tonsil thing because people equate it to being a child and having the operation.
They are two very different things.
Today I have to deposit two checks and pick up some newspapers that decided to float themselves around the yard. Yay
Peace.
