A LITTLE MORE ABOUT ISRAEL and WHAT are WE FEEDING

I will be updating my Israel trip blog on Thursday and will let you guys know to go check it... this trip is going to be amazing.. I think I am going to come back in better shape actually from all the walking we will be doing...
I am going to be doing a lot of walking this weekend too.. Going with some friends to the RV show.. they love camping and recently bought a trailer RV as they have decided they have gotten a little tent weary... The RV is really nice .. Steve and I prefer biking it on vacations.. but he has talked about getting a RC hookup for our bike.. not sure I really want to drag a small camper behind the bike .. but they have them... hopefully it will not be an investment we make .. but it will be fun the check out the big RVs I think.. so that will be about 5 hours of walking on Saturday..
I often find myself asking... what am I feeding ? when I eat... am I feeding hunger.. or pre hunger or some type of emotion when I eat.. or am I feeding curiousity.. for example.. say if there is a new product on the market.. sometimes I buy it so i can sample it and then through the rest away.. for me .. albeit expensive this works great... I taste the new product.. ( be it a light icecream or a new cereal...etc) then I trash it... Yeah it is wasteful I know.. but sometimes I prefer things to be wasteful not waist FULL. and I also answer my curiousity and it is over... I don't look at it as a compulsion.. and it is not like I go buy fat full junk.. its usually a new product geared towards lighter foods... most of the stuff I try .. be it a dessert, cracker or snack.. I am dissapointed with most new things I try.. but at least I don't wonder about it.. I found something today called harvest Selections by Del Monte.. I found the lowest calorie one toping in at 270 with 4 grams of fiber. I tried to find a photo online but could not find much info on them.. not sure what that is about.. anyhow.. will eventually try and report about it... its a shelf stable meal that does not need to be in the freezer.. so we shall see about that.. .. ANYHOW.. as I was saying ... what do we feed when we feed ourselves. I think its an important question.. one we should silently ask ourselves before we are ready to eat... is our body in need of fuel.. am I bored? am I this or am I that? does the clock say its time to eat.. am I really hungry... ? learning how to pick up on our body cues will be a great tool in being successful.. I have not mastered this yet.. but am working on it.. weight wise I am still maintaining as I have been doing since November.. so I guess that is good.. but I do .. want more...
My goals for now.. are to either lose a little or maintian through the Israel trip.. I have been going to the gym a little now.. doing that eliptical machine.. I am telling you that is the best machine for anyone with injuries or soreness or limitations...When I come home something tells me that after 2 weeks of eating the Israeli way... my body will be developing new eating habits due to circumstances which might just be a really good thing.. I seiously doubt I will be carbing out there.. and as I have said before I look forward to all the yummy fruits and veggies we will be eating.....
Well off to deal with another Tuesday...
Wish me well
Wish you well too!!
