… it’s really awfully rude, if someone speaks when both his cheeks, are jammed and crammed with food. -Martin Gardner
Ahhhhhh,Mmmmmmm,Yumyum, foooooooooooood, wonderful,tasty, mouthwatering FOOD!
The very reason we go on DIETS for, FOOD. We can’t get enough, eat to much,not the right kind, part of the never ending story.
Remember when I said embrace it, digest it, mull it over, write it down? Food on any lifestyle change is always the culprit for success or failure. It is very hard for people in general to stop eating what they love and eat what they don’t.
This is when education comes into play. Learn about food, try things that you never had before. Get all those spices out of your cupboard and use them. Switch them up, if you like Italian, get all the spices that Italian’s use, put them in your veggies you don’t usually eat, Mexican, oh my goodness, I have found more ways of eating Mexican spices in veggies that you won’t believe the concoctions that I come up with, they AMAZE even me.
My new years resolution was and is to eat my full 12 cups of veggies and most days I do that, but it would not happen if I was not willing to try to eat it differently.
I am also a food label reader, I look for carbs, fiber,sugar, and proteins, ingredients are very important, no high fructose corn syrup, and no hydrogenated oil, no monoglycerides. sugars below 10 is ok, does not spike the blood sugar, more fiber the better, and less ingredients on the label the healthier your food is.
After Tuesday’s most grueling, excruciating workout that Dean the Mean bootcamp coach put us through (only bright spot was Nancy coming in and doing the warmup with us) LOL, I came home and famished as I was, sauted onions,peppers,celery,mushrooms,lambs lettuce(at the very end), carrots, with olive oil and chipotle chile pepper, about 3 cups worth of veggies, put some mexican cheese on top and voila, I’ve a meal fit for a dogtired bootcamp survivor. move the mass, savor the flavor,hug the mug, make it happen….
