Can any of you amazing ladies help me out by suggesting some healthy alternatives for the following:
1.) Rice- I've been using brown rice, but I never realized how many calories were in a serving. 150 calories for 1/2 cup!
2.) Pasta- I looove pasta but even eating the whole grain pasta, it's still 210 calories for 3/4 cup!
Rice and pasta are usually staples in my house, but I would really like to find healthier alternatives for them. I'm trying to cut out sliced bread from my diet. I'm also watching my portion sizes. I can't believe how little food I'm eating now. I feel pretty hungry quite often, but I'm trying soooo very hard to watch my portion sizes and eat the recommended serving sizes. I know it's going to take some time to get used to and for my stomach to shrink but it's tough right now. I know I cab do this, I just need something to take my mind off of being hungry. And I need some motivation to excersice!! I walked for 1 and 1/2 hours yesterday!! But for some reason I can't bring myself to excersice today. If only they sold motivation in a bottle!!
