My pools not big enough or shaped right for laps kath, my old gym had a lap pool and I'm looking for a new one now -- it will be indoors so weather is irrelevant
One other thing -- low sodium chicken broth. The fat free kind.
Making rice? use it instead of water. Same with potato dishes. Baking or sauteing chicken, most anything but beef (in which case get beef broth), sub it instead of butter and water or sub it for butter or oil. Your food stays really moist, you don't get the cholesterol, fat, sodium, none of it. I use it to steam veggies instead of water as well. Just toss in some seasonings and its done, just like that.
If you've ever had fondue, try doing it with chicken broth, seasonings, and fresh fish, chicken, pork and veggies.
There is soooo much you can do with it to add flavor to food without adding bad stuff I could go on.
I am a carb loving girl, I can't get enough bread, pasta, rice, crackers (oh damn, cheese and crackers I could live on) and I have carbs every day in some form. I just try to eat a little instead of alot, and make sure to mix it up with protein, like a piece of grilled salmon and some rice. Now that I live alone (whew!) I can make it an reheat the leftovers the next day for lunch if I want.
Oh one last thing, if you're trying to lose weight -- alcohol. Carbs, sugar and calories, coupled with the urge to eat in most people. Bad, bad, bad.
I don't believe in saying anything is totally off limits -- if I want a Mint Milano cookie or some Breyers ice cream, I'll buy it. BUT... once I get a taste, if I don't think I can stop myself, I throw whats left in the trash. Immediately.
