I got up this morning did my massage and meditation. I felt
great with a lot of energy. Usually I feel lethargic and slow to move around
but today seemed a little different. Even with a cold brewing I felt more
energetic than normal. I wanted to run out the door and go for a walk, however,
my disabilities keep from doing anything like that so enjoyed doing my
breathing instead and some of the exercises I shared early on in this blog.
I have found that I am starting to enjoy the spiciness of my
food. I made chicken and peppers with onions. I cooked them in garlic and
ginger oil and added turmeric, ginger, and pepper. I loved it. MMM was so good.
I ate it with some ginger sesame Quinoa.
I think the hardest thing to dieting is finding recipes for
the foods you can eat and having those available. So today I am going to share
with you some information on food. Since each person is different and can eat
different foods you will want to shop accordingly.
For me I shouldn’t eat rice or pasta but rather eat quinoa as
the grain. I can eat pastas that are made with a whole grain but since I should
avoid rice and wheat it makes it difficult. Actually don’t need them in my diet
anyways. I don’t miss eating them at all.
So for those of you those are spaghetti eaters. I am, yum
love that comfort food. Here is something you could try. Make your tomato sauce
with ground turkey or chicken or do it like I do and add no meat. I add veges
that I love. Then I cook a spaghetti squash and cook that in the oven at 350
degrees for around 30-45 minutes. I will usually cut the squash open and take a
little bit of oil to the top. Just remember oil has calories and fat but it is
an essential fatty acid and we need a little each and every day since our
bodies do not make it.
This diet is not concerned with how much you eat and
calories. I still like to keep them in check so I have been tracking them. For
those of you with an Iphone there is an app called “Lost it” it tracks your
food and it is easy. It can also track your exercise and keep track of your
weight and lost weight. It has a scan tool on it so I can scan in all my foods
and it pops up and lands in my stuff. It doesn’t take long at all.
I have been eating 1600 and under in calories per day. Some
days it is 1000 and other days more than that. I am only supposed to eat three
good meals per day and drink tea to help. At first I thought I am going to
starve. I normally eat a few snacks and three meals a day. However, to be
honest I was having sugar cravings bad at night and since I started this I have
not had one. There is a pumpkin chocolate muffin on my table and I love them
and I don’t even want it.
Really I would have already eaten that thing it is one of my
favorite things to eat. Even when stressed which is when I usually want to eat
sweets I haven’t wanted any sweets. I have been eating apples and raisins. You
can even cook an apple and some raisins and spice them up with cinnamon,
nutmeg, allspice, some vanilla and yum you have dessert.
I will just either cook them on the stove or bake them in
the oven.
Just no cheese or any food you cannot eat I cannot have cheese or dairy unless light
again no cheese but I can have potatoes so make changes as you need to and look at this for breakfast
