7/10/2014 1 Comment Days 3 and 4So, I haven't fallen off the wagon here; I just was really busy the last couple of days with work. That made not having to decide what's for breakfast, lunch, and dinner a blessing for sure.
Both days we had smoothies for breakfast. I bought a big bag of kale because it was there and we've been adding some to our smoothies of late. I think the added fiber helps the smoothie last a bit longer. Lunch was leftover grilled vegetables in a wrap and artichoke & tomato salad on the side with watermelon to follow yesterday. Dinner last night was my version of red beans and rice with collards on the side, and that was lunch today, as well. Tonight, I think we're having a portobello burger on a sandwich thin as the bun and roasted potatoes tossed in pesto. This NutritionMD.org pesto recipe is quite tasty! For dessert, I'm whipping up some chocolate pudding with lite Mori-nu tofu (1 block of tofu + 4 Tablespoons of brown sugar, 4 Tablespoons of cocoa powder and a dash of vanilla) to serve with fresh strawberries. I'm loving the amount of raw fruit and vegetables we're eating this week, and I'm also realizing that a lot of crap (dairy and processed things like crackers) had snuck into our daily diet. Granted, those were healthier versions of crap, but we weren't saving them for treats. I took yesterday off from Step (in part because I just didn't have the hour to spare), but I got back to it today, and it was a well-appreciated reward and break from sitting in front of a computer. And, of course, every day the dogs and I take a stroll.

My back failed me yesterday and I was in a huge amount of pain. That's when I knew I had to get on this eating plan and STAY on it. So I am finding the wagon. I am moving better now so I will begin in the morning. Smoothies sound marvelous. I make one that I call a Happy Hippie. It contains:1 cup blackberries, 1 cup soy milk, 2 T. agave nectar or honey, and a banana along with a little ice. If your berries are frozen, you are not going to need much ice. I think you could omit the sweetener too but it is so good with it that I'll just cut back on the amount I use.
