Sometimes on Sunday... especially when it's nice, or when I just need some quiet time... I like to go for a drive. I don't really plan where I'm going to go except that I tend to gravitate toward the pastures, trees, and country setting. It feels peaceful... slower. People out riding horses, walking along fields that are freshly plowed, and leaning over fences visiting with their neighbors. I like it.
Before I forget... I challenge you to do what I've been doing and what my students have been doing when you go through a drive-thru or eat out at a restaurant-- simply ask how many calories are in your order. I went through KFC a few days ago for some grilled chicken and coleslaw and not only didn't he know... he didn't even try to find out. Every place before this has at least had it by the time I get to the window.
On the fiber note.... some forms of fiber take effect quicker than others. :D Something to consider. It has definitely kicked in ... finally on day three of eating my fiber regularly.

BREAKFAST: Frosted Mini-Wheats (230 cal. and 7g of fiber)
