On January 9th, I embarked upon a journey to eat better. I decided that for 21 days I would stop eating junk, drinking sodas, eating fried foods, eating sweets. 14 days down and 7 more to go. I must add that within this time I have also restricted my flesh intake. I have had poultry (chicken or turkey) 6 times within the past 14 days (today included).
I cannot tell but my kids say I look like I've lost a few... I will weigh once I am finished with these last 7 days but I will say that when I put my jeans on this morning, I didn't have to fight as hard to zip them up! I will say it has been somewhat challenging some days... once for dinner I had an apple and peanut butter... LOL. This journey has caused me to hone my cooking skills. I forgot I knew how to cook! My daughter has been the cook lately because of work and school. Plus the fact that she was on break from school herself. She's a good daughter! But she wasn't having none of these no meat meals... she would put something in the crock pot or in the electric roaster for her and her brothers...
Hey, I did say it was MY journey... not theirs. But since I buy groceries, they still have had to modify their diet as well. No cookies... no ice cream... no potato chips. I pray I don't fall prey to these horrible food choices... I gotta lose at least 50 lbs this year.
On tonight's menu - poached chicken breasts, oven roasted potatoes and spinach. Yummy!
