Week 4 Food Journal

*This week I really struggled with some gastric re-flux issues and spent a lot of "food-time" trying to find the right balance between losing weight, exercising and eating enough. Andy insists that I will lose weight just with food choice and not "counting calories," but it's so ingrained with weight loss it's hard to let go... My focus has been on finding new snack choices and eating more for breakfast.


*I also found and bought some hydroponic lettuce this week - there are a lot of "tacos" and wraps in the menu. It's a great lettuce for this because it has nice big leaves and a lot of tensile strength, so it takes a lot to rip it. And, there is a lot in a head of lettuce so it goes a long way.
