Give Us This Day Our Daily Bread

I have recently purchase a bread machine. I know, that seems counter-intuitive to dieting. I know there are many diets out there that are touting low carbs and little or no bread, but I don't think people can live without bread. I do think we probably eat too much of it, and not the good variety. The reason for the bread machine was so I can make my own and know what is going into it and hopefully have healthier breads, with more whole wheat. So far all the breads are great. Which is not good because I want to eat them. However, I have limited myself to one slice per day. They are a little bit thicker than store bought slices, but should be less than two slices (I hope). The best so far was the cinnamon raisin bread, which I did make with white flour. I am going to try a whole wheat version this weekend. I would like to eventually get a grain mill and grind my own grains so I get the best nutrition.

I have to get weighed and measured at the gym tonight. I sure hope there is some changes in my measurements. I know it has only been a month, but I may feel deflated if there is no change. Even just a little change will at least make me feel like all the hard work at the gym is paying off.
