Day #5...a nice day at work and a great win by the tennis team. I am beginning to notice that I feel better during the day and have less and less of the rundown, sluggish feeling that I was experiencing on days when I was not watching the amounts of food I was eating. I am also noticing that the snacks during the day are really helping ti curb my cravings and I am appreciating the approach to eating much more these days...a healthy alternative to my recent past!

Exercise: Once again I sacrificed going to the gym for other issues. This continues to be the one hurdle I have yet to get over on a consistent basis. I know it is not because I do not want to workout, I just do not prioritize it the way I need to on a daily basis.
Wrap Up: One thing that my wife did tonight to make dinner a little more accessible for my eating plan was to make the pancakes we had with our Dinner/Breakfast in a more heart healthy way. Using the HeartSmart Bisquick Pancake Mix, she used 1 1/3 cups of skim milk, 2 egg whites, and 2 cups of the mix. This helped reduce a serving of the pancakes cholesterol from 40 mg to 0 mg. It also reduced the overall calorie, fat and sat. fat count as well. They were very delicious and it was nice to enjoy a comfort food without the guilt or concern...Thanks Honey!
