I sleep in my yoga clothes too:)…or I should say on the days I make it to 6am yoga it’s because I slept in my yoga clothes. If I have to find them and change clothes it might not happen. I went back today so I’m in. Between yoga and the gym I should be able to eat some yummy treats.

Hi Sam,
Nuts are higher in fat, but it’s the good monosaturated fats. They help with satisfaction or satiety. You, or more accurately I, can over do the nuts and yes if you eat too much it can be a lot of fat. Try to limit consumption by pulling out a serving and then closing the container. I would suggest one to two ounces per day. I eat up to 4 ounces a day without a problem but then I exercise a lot so this keeps it in balance. Try getting into the habit of eating raw, organic, nuts that have less fat then the oil roasted version.

I need to do it, I know, I know.

As a tip to those like me who aren’t really motivated to exercise try this: If you already sleep in pajamas or something, wear part or all of your workout clothes to bed. Put your shoes right next to your alarm clock. I read that in some magazine and thought it was ridiculous, but it really works. I’m on a treadmill before my brain even kicks in to try and talk me out of it. Helps me skip my sugared up coffee drink in the a.m. too.

Do I need to put a limit on the consumption of nuts?

Shoot! I so thought I was ahead of the game. A sickness a couple months back took some pounds off, but they snuck back fast. My time on the scale this morning was not a love-fest. I’m in! And I love Buskin tea cookies too. It will be #1 on the list of motivation.
