So I realized today that I also need a decent amount of fiber in my diet. I found this website http://commonsensehealth.com/Diet-and-Nutrition/List_of_High_Fiber_Foods.shtml and it shows a list of high fiber foods. Unfortunately for me, I do not like a lot of these foods. However, there are some of these foods that I really do like. One of these is oatmeal. I also really like bran cereals, so I figure it may be in my best interest to pick some up. I already have some oatmeal in my cupboard.
A lot of the highest fiber vegetables are just things I don't like. But that is fine because I can make up for it in other ways. One way is by drinking V8 juice, which contains 5 grams of fiber in an 8 oz. glass. Since I really enjoy V8 juice this shouldn't be much of a problem. Not only that but neither my fiance or the kids like it, so when I buy it at least I get it all. That is what my snack for the moment is as well. :-)
This blog is my journal showing what progress I make during my journey to lose weight. I have come to realize that losing weight after 45 is so much harder than when I was younger. So, I have decided to post my progress as I go along and hope that by doing this I can help others. I also would love to get comments and ideas from those of you who have had success and would like to share. The start of a new year and hopefully the start of a new life!!
