I love this way of eating. I have always liked salads but admit that Pizza, Big Mac Meals and a host of other fast foods diminished the joy of a fresh salad. Without all that crap in me, I can't wait to get home to make my nightly salad. I use lots of different greens - Baby Kale, Baby Spinach, Baby Arugula, Romaine, Spring Mix, Sprouts, Bib/Butter, Iceberg, etc. There are some extra Vegetables for texture - Onions, Peppers, Cucumber, Tomato. I always add some nuts and cheese (Macadamia, Pistachio, Sunflower, Walnut, Pine, Pecan) and (Goat Cheese Crumbles, Blue Cheese Crumbles) mostly for some heft and flavour. Finally I top it off with a NON-CANOLA OIL dressing. Making my own would be ideal, but I enjoy using Primal Kitchens from Whole Foods. It makes me happy to know that I am not loading myself up with heavy Carb-Laden food, like Pasta, when I eat at night, as I work late, and most meals happen at about 8:30pm, and I love knowing I am receiving excellent nutrition, daily.
Back in May I was still doing a Pint of Ben & Jerry's, and my sweet husband would look over and say, "IceCream for dinner" and I would scowl at him with a "Yes Dear!" and we would carry on. That is so crazy? What the hell was I thinking? (And yes, this has been going on for years, off an on, up and down, Yo-Yo...)
I am pretty sure I have figured it out, but am a little nervous to put the cart before the horse, so let's just keep this one day at a time... What are the chances of 241 on the scale tomorrow? Well that remains to be seen. Good night my FS friends. Stay strong!
I love colourful photos to bring peace and joy. Here is a shot of husband last November SUP'ing in Dana Point, CA, family vacation.
