Thursday, April 6 2006 Wow- my smoothie had 14 points! 
I had a really tasty smoothie for breakfast and couldn't help but look up the nutritional content. I was surprised at how much this smoothie packed! It's got 9 grams of protein, 15 grams of fat, and 25 grams of fiber. It gave me 356% of my vitamin C, 15% of my calcium, and 21% of my iron. It was 14 points (almost half my day's allotment). Here's what nutritiondata.com said about it: The Good This food is very low in Cholesterol and Sodium. It is also a good source of Dietary Fiber, Vitamin K and Manganese, and a very good source of Vitamin C. The Bad A large portion of the calories in this food come from sugars. My smoothie had: 3 dates 1/2 honeydew 1.35 oz coconut meat 1 kiwi 1/2 banana 1 cup raspberries Besides the smoothie I had my favorite hummus sandwich on hemp bread -the photo shows my girlfriend's version, which uses guacamole instead of the avocado slices I usually put in it. For dinner I made sushi. I must admit that I weighed myself today- so much for trying to avoid the scale. I haven't lost a THING. But I've definitely been losing inches! Today I was able to zip up all of the pants I couldn't even pull up over my hips in January. I wouldn't wear any of those clothes out, though- too tight for comfort. But it's nice to know that I have a brand new pair of cargo pants, and two pairs of capris pants coming up. I also have a couple of sweat pants I should be able to wear in a month or so. I can fit into my button-down blouses more comfortably and don't have to wear them all as jackets due to their not truly fitting me. :-D It's always nice to have new clothes waiting for you.
