Hi graciezoe,


that's looks like a great choice of food! Lot's of interesting combinations and different veggies
Do I get you right that you are saying that you have done 110 minutes of exercise and so this adds up to 250 minutes for the whole week?
That's quite a lot, you're being really active which is great! I'm sorry if I missed it somewhere: Do you try to loose weight (looks all MWL compliant to me) or are you just maintaining and enjoying a healthy and active lifestyle?
Whatever it is, keep it up!

Anja,
I've lost over 130 lbs eating this way, I still want to lose 15 pounds more but mostly for vanity reasons. Since I think of this as a way of eating not a diet, there is no end, so where my body decides to stop is what I'll be happy with. The important thing, is that I feel great
Yes, I exercise most days 1 to 1 1/2 hours. I love being physical active and can't wait until warmer weather so I can go on my weekend hikes again. Too much snow here and in Vermont, where I usually hike.
Menu for 2/18/15
B: oatmeal, blueberries, chia seeds, bananas
S: apple
L: bean burrito, mixed green salad
D: salad with romaine lettuce, steamed kale, cubed cooked sweet potatoes, black bean soup
110 minutes on treadclimber this morning.
Green tea, rooibos tea, and water throughout day.
