Learning to cook differently

Today coach V and I went shopping and cooking again (I need a lot of help!) I was getting frustrated because I am a recipe person and couldn't find candida free recipes (no sugar, yeast, or vinegar) So I bought a bunch of bread, sauces, pastas that I can eat. We made pizza, pasta, egg salad sandwiches. I will post the recipes when I am not so tired. I had a great day- and best of all I have a lot more confidence in what to cook and eat!

Detox

Today is day 3 of my detox, but the first day of the lemonade fast. I am amazed how well it went. I haven't been hungry, although I did get a headache. All my detox buddies are really helping. It is so positive and I feel great. I'm really excited.

Running

I hate running. I always have. I am sure I look ridiculous running.
Melody has been telling me how wonderful she feels when she runs and wanted me to go with her when she was here. She is always trying to get me to run for a cause.
Kristi is picking up running and says she feels great.
Lisa told me this week that running is the only thing that clears her head and how much she loves it.
Maybe there is something to this running thing that I have not experienced yet. It has caught my interest. I think I need to try it out again. I know I need to add some physical exercise to what I am doing. I need an attitude shift about running. I should start out walking.

Fat Pants

I can fit in my fat pants! OK so I know that might be depressing for some people, but for me it is exciting! I had to buy new pants over the holidays cuz I put on 10 lbs. Those are my YIKES fat pants. Now I'm back to just my normal fat pants. My YIKES fat pants are falling off. YAY!

Cheat day

I was at a birthday party and book signing last night, so I cheated a little. I still had mostly a good day- fruit and veggie juice for breakfast, a good lunch, but for dinner I had some pasta salad (mostly good, with veggies, but had regular pasta.) I tried a bite of cake, and it was so good I had a little more (but not much!) Then at the book signing I had some white bread and white crackers with various cheeses. I had a little glass of Sprite. I could feel a difference immediately- I was ready to get back on track today. I prefer to be healthy (even though the cake was amazing!)

Yummy lunch

I had a super yummy sandwich for lunch. Instead of my typical PB&J, I had sprouted bread, raw almond butter, and fresh slices green apples. It is fresh, light and delicious. It is nice to not have jelly, and the apples have a nice juicy crunch. Try it!

The BEST fast food

So Kristi and I are still meal planning and prepping. It is working out great. Tonight I didn't have much time as I was going to teach a class, but luckily we threw everything we needed for a quick, healthy, fast meal into a Ziploc. I had a sprouted wrap with garlic hummus, chicken, avocado, cilantro, lime, tomato, spinach and sprouted broccoli with 2 cutie clementine oranges. Yummy AND fast. It worked great! No Carls Jr for me!
