Things to Ponder

This challenge has made me realize a few things. Things like -

I am nowhere near in shape! Well, I am in a shape, but it is mostly pear-like and fleshy. I ran/walked on Monday, did pilates on Tuesday, and walked today. I think my legs are going to go on strike. They are not happy with me right now.

It has become far too easy for me to snack. And I had no idea just how much I did snack during the day. And that I don't always (or ever) pick the most healthy option.

I am reading labels more. Desperate for my morning coffee, I found a chocolate syrup that had no fat and less sugar than some other, traditionally more "healthy" foods. So excited to still have my cup of joe & do it in a healthier way!

But, Jerome brought up an interesting question last night. Does eating celery (not that I would, mind you. Celery is nasty. Just plain nasty. But I digress.) after 8:30 really count as eating, since you burn more calories eating the celery than the celery actually has in it? Just a thought to ponder for the day...

  1. You do not have to count eating celery after 8:30 as really eating if I can count housecleaning as exercise:) deal?

  2. Jo - depends on how hard you're scrubbing. My cleaning style - not so much... Yours - probably.
