Cereal?

OK I have never dieted before, and I was really confused this morning. The cereal I thought was a healthy choice ended up being higher in fat and calories (200 calories and 1 gram of fat) than the sugary cereal (110 calories and .5 grams of fat) however it is a lot higher in potein and dietary fiber (6g of protein and 6g of dietary fiber compared to 1g protein and 0g dietary fiber) and it also fills me up better than the sugary cereal and I can go longer without eating.

I am feelling really good today.  Thanks to the support of all of you, I have worked out each day for the last 3 days.  I know that doesn’t sound like much, but it’s the first time I have been able to work out 3 days in a row since I had the baby. I actually like to workout, but with kids, work, and housework there doesn’t seem to be time to workout until the kids go to bed and by then I am so tired that I just want to go to bed. But on Monday I woke up early so I could workout before getting my son ready for bed, Yesterday I took the dog for a walk while the kids were eating dinner, then todayI actually was able to workout during nap time (all 3 girls actually napped at the same time  :)  that is very rare). I know a lot of you work out a lot more than that, but I am happy that I was able to do that much.

    that sounds a little high for the cereal…..it might have nuts and dried fruits in it…….thats okay…….but you might want to try fiber oen…….high fiber……no added sugar……less calories………sugar cereals are processed carbs……make you hungry much quicker……….

    I know all about being the busy mom and pregnant. I find it hard to have “me time” I am starting to realize I gave that up. LOL
    Good job on sticking to a plan and making it work for you.
