Meat as a Flavoring

My Dad sent me a book about what foods are good for losing weight. The point of the book is that it says you should have 5-6 servings complex carbs, 3 servings protein, 5-8 vegies and fruits, 3 servings fat (one teaspoon is a serving). A serving of protein is one ounce. A serving of carbs is 1/2 cup. So this book basicially agrees with the Eatingwell.com diet plan that meat is a flavoring and not the center of the meal. It is contrary to the way most Americans eat and contrary to the way I was raised. My Dad does not eat this way either, but probably found the book and sent it to me because he thinks I need to lose weight. It did not contain any information I did know. Most of the book is a listing of whole grains, vegies, and fruits and why they're good for you. I'll share more if it's interesting.

My left heal, the underside, has been bothering me. Oh goodie, a heel spur. Just what I need - something else hurting on my feet. However, my Burkenstocks shoes help. They are shoes made in Germany. They're kind of ugly, but feel wonderful. They're also expensive. I had a pair at school I was using to switch off. My heel was really hurting and I switched over to them. Fortunately they felt better. They have a formed bottom with good arch support and a cupped heal. They're purple, so my kids always notice them when I wear them.

It was very difficult to get up this morning with a nice rain going. But I did it.
We had chile for dinner. It was good.
