Daily Food Diary – Day 124 of 365

It is Day 124 of my Daily Food Diary and it is  Day 4 of tracking the saturated fats that I consume on a daily basis. 

Consuming saturated fats is never a good thing, but being active and working out on a regular basis does mitigate the damage that they do to our body.

I do aerobics six mornings a week and I have been walking with husband Dan and our dog Molly, as much as is possible and practical.

Walking may not happen today.   It is cool and raining.  That would not necessarily stop me.  I could probably convince Dan to join me.  Molly would be more of an issue.  She loves walking.  She loves cold, snow, and ice. She draws the line at rain.

So… Today I am going to focus on baking some heart healthy muffins, making a pot of beef barley soup for supper tonight, and preparing a pot of brown beans for supper tomorrow night.

It is going to take some work to reduce the saturated fats in our diet – but it can and will be done.  My biggest hurdle is breakfast – without yeast in my diet, breakfast is difficult.  Cutting down on sugar and salt, moreso.  Cutting  saturated fats, doesn’t leave me a lot to work with.  🙄
