We’re enjoying a lazy Sunday AM here – I think we’re all moving a little slow after last night’s party. Everyone voted for oatmeal + coffee over an early workout. I think between the 3 of us we’ve consumed about 26 cups of coffee in 4 days! Anna’s a coffee aficionado and her enthusiasm has rubbed off on me.
Today’s oatmeal involved the homemade Maple Pecan Granola we made yesterday afternoon!
- 1/3 cup oats, milk, water
- 1/3 a small banana (we’re all out!!)
- Pinch salt
- About a tbsp wheatberries (we’re all out of those too!)
- 3 tbsp homemade granola
- Spoonful Butter Toffee PB
We are going power walking for our exercise in a little bit. This afternoon we’re going to get MASSAGES (Anna’s birthday present to me!) Then tonight we’re hosting Karen and the husband’s brother Andrew for dinner.
Hasta la vista 8)

Your granola looks and sounds delicious. I love all kinds of granola, unfortunately, I like to eat a lot more than the recommended serving!
Nellie says
Your Maple Pecan Granola looks like perfection! Enjoy your massage, you deserve it after all of the hard work you’ve been putting into your classes!

What a coincidence, I went to a Vins, Pains et Fromages party last night. It’s was the 10th edition in the Chalet de la Plage, on Ile St. Helene, just next to the formula 1 tracks, in Montreal, of course. Almost 200 people attended the event, great food and wine. And, of course, this morning we had a bowl of oatmeal and a lot of coffee. Have a great afternoon.

I’m wondering if anyone has a fitness journal that they use and like. I’m looking at BodyMinder Workout and Exercise Journal. Does anyone use it or anything like it and have a recommendation?
Thanks!

Hey Kath! I know with Thanksgiving and the holiday season aproaching myself and many other healthy eaters / dieters are trying to keep them self in check. It seems like it is one long temptation from the begining of October (when the Halloween candy comes) to after New Years. I was wondering if you could give any advice for staying ontrack, being healthy and enjoying the season. Thanks!

Cassidy ,
I put an emphasis on “worth it” events around the holidays. Skip the store-bought cookie at the work party or the egg nog latte on some random Wednesday afternoon and enjoy the homemade pumpkin pie on Thanksgiving Day or the cup of REAL egg nog on Xmas Eve, which you only get once a year. In fact, skip anything you can have “anytime” and only splurge if it’s worth it and the atmosphere is festive. You could also use my Squiggly Line Effect where you “lose weight” on average days (eating around NET calories – see the FAQ page for more info) and then eating what you want on the weekends or during special events. This should help minimize the gain. That’s how I’ve handled maintenance for the past 1.5 years.
