This stuff is good! Trust me!
I have been SO bad lately when it comes to my eating habits, ya'll. Baked goods, ice cream, candy bars, Twizzlers, doughnuts, potato chips, french fries, fried anything ... name something super-duper bad for you and I bet I've been eating it. When I made the decision to introduce meat back into my diet, I went flat crazy with the food choices.
It's not good. You'd think I would've packed on some serious pounds, but that hasn't really been the case. I'm in the same size I was wearing before I began inhaling everything within grabbing distance. I know I've gained some weight ... mostly around the old mid-section ... but it could be worse I suppose. The real problem is how I feel. My brain is foggy, I feel like I have about 50 pounds of cement blocks sitting on my shoulders, it seems like sludge is running through my veins. Nasty, nasty, nasty stuff.
It all ends today. It has to. Rob and I made a quick grocery run yesterday, and I stocked up on whole grain bread, english muffins, sandwich thins, peanut butter, yogurt, cottage cheese, oatmeal, bananas, apples, and oranges. I'm going to try to stay away from too much processed stuff. The older I get, the more all of those chemicals and preservatives seem to affect me.
Here's what today's meal plan looks like:
- Breakfast--a banana and coffee
- Mid-morning snack--a whole grain english muffin with Dark Chocolate Dreams peanut butter (If you like chocolate and peanut butter, you must try this. It comes in a variety of flavors, and you can pick it up at Wal-Mart.)
- Lunch--cottage cheese, peaches, and a Kashi Dark Mocha Almond bar
- Afternoon snack--a granny smith apple
- Dinner--roast chicken, a baked sweet potato, and green salad

Your food choices sound good and healthy.
ReplyDeleteBe sure to allow yourself something bad as a treat sometimes so you don't purge.
Definitely gonna try that peanut butter.
Love your new profile pic! Ok, chocolate peanut butter?? What are the numbers on this...I always have to know the points before I indulge in anything :) Sounds yummy.
ReplyDeleteThe PB is SOOOO good! I like the white chocolate the best.
ReplyDeleteSo, I really want to know, how's it going? Because I seriously need to do this.
ReplyDeleteI was in great shape before I left Ohio... now almost 2 years in KS, and I have managed to gain 20 lbs. ACK!! Lately I'm tired of the sluggish feeling, and I know I need to get back to my better eating habits... it's just so hard to make the switch!
