Totally spaced on photos Monday.

Breakfast: 1/2 cup steel cut oats, mixed berries, 1T almond butter, 1t chia seeds

I've been reading about chia seeds a lot on health blogs and decided to try them out.  They have lots of fiber, protein and omegas.  They form a gel when mixed with water so when you digest them, they keep you full longer and also slow the carb to sugar conversion.  The jar of seeds I bought, reccommends up to 3T a day but I started out with just 1t in my oats this morning.  I think it worked as I ate it around 8:30 and wasn't too bothered by hunger for the whole morning.  I felt quite stable- by the time I ate lunch I was hungry but not desperately, which sometimes happens when I eat oatmeal and don't have a mid morning snack.  Tuesday I will add another teaspoon and see what happens.

Lunch: left over crepe, lettuce with 1t of flax seed oil, 1t lemon juice, salt and pepper

Snacks: 2 oranges, Healthy Pop popcorn

Dinner: 1 C left over risotto, handful of frozen grapes, small mint brownie, small glass 1% milk

I think I was so hungry because I was pretty active today!  I am starting another couch to 5k program and did 5 intervals of 2 1/2 running 2 1/2 walking this morning and then went on a 3 mile hike this afternoon, which had quite a lot of incline.

But it feels great!
