I had my first doctor's appointment with the new doctor after my old doctor vanished in a puff of smoke last fall. On the plus side, I liked him. On the minus side, my blood pressure is officially just into the High range. Time to start doing a better job at nutrition and fitness. I walked to Porter and got some good raw veggies for snacking, and also ingredients to make Feisty Green Beans. It was... actually really good. I used to regard tofu with deep suspicion, but I think paneer has been slowly convicing me that squishy cubes are okay. Maybe turning it into an Adventure of Finding Interesting Things to Cook will keep me motivated. Plus, if I just make resolutions to myself in my head, it's easier to backslide, so here I am, resolving out loud: More Vegetables. More Walking. Less Bread. Tracking calories and Exercise on the Tracky Thing. And, I suppose, mentioning good recipes.

Current Mood: blah

Ooh, I will put that on the list to try next. (I don't think I can go entirely without carbs without an immediate morale crash, but I can survive having fewer of them. Especially if I can convince myself that veggies are a good snack for "I had a small lunch, I'm hungry again now!" :)

Heh. :-) I know the feeling. I try to keep lots of apples stocked and allow myself an unlimited number of them for snacks. Ditto w/ carrot sticks & zucchini sticks (with Newmann's Own Lite Honey Mustard OR "Premium Soy Sauce"). The zucchini is better for not annoying office mates w/ loud crunching sounds. ;-)

Btw, I had a thought that if you could knit while walking, I bet you'd get in a LOT of walking! ;-)
