I'm cutting way down on grain-based carbs...so only the equivalent of 2 slices of bread and a single normal sized potato a day....but ironically I'm eating more fresh fruit and legumes (which are also a bunch of carbs of a different sort.)

I think Kelt is right, and this way of eating is higher in the low glycemic carbs....slower to digest, easier on my system, and keep my metabolism higher. For whatever reason...it seems to be the right thing for me.

And Scoote's right...dinner last night was awesome if i do say so myself...just one of those meals when it all turned out perfectly. Love that!

Best news of the day, week and month......I get to go pick up Rooster at the airport today!

Hope you all have a great day, and Happy Friday!

Yikes....I almost forgot....coffee's on!

Thanks for the coffee.......I'm waiting on the rain, we need it, and I have things to do inside, but would rather go kayaking. ZENNNNN!

You are correct Jo, different things work for different people. Other than oatmeal, I also avoid the grains. I had brown rice once this week and I'll have something else in the bread family this week end. I avoid BLONDES at all costs. I pretty much eat all fruits and vegtables and almost everything is uncooked. But sometimes I do cook, as I like to cook. But, back to ...different things work for different people.

Your link to the sleep/eating/over eating hit home for me. I know when I am tired, I don't always recognize that I am tired, and i'll be in the kitchen looking for food. Thats really a test of my will power, to get out of the kitchen, empty handed, and to go to bed.

Glad to read your son his returning home. He will have grown two inches.

I keep meaning to say congrats to Zimmy, having secured another position at her fairly new job!

Hope everyone has a great Friday!
