If you missed it, I announced a "fitness accountability" in the forum yesterday, as well as on myfitnesspal.  I am encouraged by everyone who is joining and taking it so seriously with me.  I wonder how many pounds we can all loose together.

So, for lunch, I opened the fridge and looked for something healthy to eat -- that would be fruits and vegetables.  Apparently, they have been in there a while as they are not looking so good.  I need to hurry up and eat them anyway.

So I used this old Black and Decker chopper we've had forever to chop up a peach and a pear to make a little fruit salad.  It turned them to mush, even worse than they looked when I started!  No wonder I never used this thing.  I think it's only good for nuts.  I seriously want a new electrical device that dices nicely.

Anyone have any suggestions?  I might eat more fruit and vegetables if I don't have to hand dice them like I always do on a cutting board.


So here's lunch.  I immediately began plugging it into the iPhone ap for myfitnesspal.




I even got out a tablespoon and measured my favorite dressing, Ott's poppy seed dressing.  See, I'm serious about this!  My calories came to 325 for the day so far, as I had no breakfast as usual, although I tried to, but keep walking out the door without the oranges I intended to eat at work.

I'm stuffed!  This is a LOT of food for me.  Will forcing myself to eat more really make my metabolism speed up?  I just feel miserable because it's like I've been to a smorgasbord.  Of course, 160 of the 325 calories was from the dressing!
