Welcome to eFAT-Blog. This is a site where you can find the journey of an American suburban working mother of 5 children's journey to a healthy lifestyle.
Daily I will detail my emotions, food, activity and the like in the neverending battle of the bulge.
Come take the journey along with me.
So it's the kids first day back to school. Spent the weekend getting them ready. Making sure the supplies were all in order, everyone had the proper gear and clothes, blah blah blah. Unpacking, etc. I wish I could be there while they get on the bus okay. I know Nan will do a terrific job. But I can't help but have those pangs of guilt for not being there. But today's lives require that mum is at work. /sigh. Saturday friends from our first Seattle neighborhood came over to visit. It was really nice. Their son and our brood got to play in the woods and by the Snoqualmie River. We went for a short walk. Picked ripe blackberries off the bushes. Met some more of our neighbors and ordered-in. We chatted about everything under the sun from the wars in the world, energy consumption, successful parenting, housing market. You know all the perils that face an American suburban family. LOL. I began to read to Tiger last night an article about a new type of 'diet' or 'eating plan' as they call it. We still have more to read on it; but, it sounds like something worth trying. We'll finish reading it tonight and I'll let you know what else I find out. But the premise is to keep your body's metabolism on an even footing -- basically keep yourself from caloric deficits. So six small meals throughout the day -- which is the way I need to eat to be productive any how. The research on the science of this diet says that people who let themselves get into a caloric deficit -- you know that 'starving' feeling before you binge on everything in the icebox -- are the ones that carry belly fat and have other unhealthy traits. :: raises hand::
Back to school -- back to a better routine. I guess summer's over. But tell that to the weather. It's sunny and today's high is supposed to reach 77 degrees.
