Each day on this new diet restructure (is what I am calling it ... not the D word) seems like a week. There is so much to learn and relearn. Phew, today I went to the doctor's to get a baseline on my blood sugar and stats. Something to help follow the progress of this journey. It's not the dress size that I am seeking, but other numbers.
I am now going to the different grocery stores to buy fresh produce and compare quality and prices. I was at Albertsons and a young (to me) female shopper asked me what something was and pointed to it. Well, you can see we were both gawking at green stuff, but I didn't know either. We got to talking about the produce and diets. She actually saw Fat, Sick & Nearly Dead (3 times) so she knew what I was referring to. I told her I am not fasting but juicing. Then we chatted about juicing and got off that subject to her health problems and med's to control them. We had some similar ..... but geeze at her age NOT GOOD. She mentioned I looked like I was in my 40s so now I know she is legally blind too. Actually, I get that all the time ...... not really. So who knows, she might join up at Weight Watchers and I'll see her there as well.
Brent had another rootbeer float last night (for energy) so I know his transition is going to be a tad slower than mine! To be fair, he does put in long work hours (up at 4:30 am) and a long commute to work and back. He played tennis Monday (holiday) and then moved all our furniture out of our master bedroom (new carpet) and then next day all back in the room. I just pointed where I wanted everything to go. So I don't qualify for any FLOATS of any kind :)
Okay, what's for dinner. Geese, I just had a late lunch. I made quinoa/lental/asparagus salad for dinner last night and that is what I had for lunch. Then some avacado and blueberries (not together.) Now it's time for me to make some more green drink (juice of kale, cucumber, lemon, apple, ginger and celery.) I do really love that drink, but for my husbands sake I will have more variety in the juicing department.
Now we also have our daughter living with us. She is down at her sister's in Portland and although she knows we are committing to eat differently (new and improved) I think she will be cooking her own food.
When Christmas is put away and bedroom organized I will start posting a few recipes and ratings (according to my taste buds, that is.)
Off to the kitchen ......
