I wrote this yesterday, but didn't end up posting it until now. I originally wanted to wait until I had eaten all my meals so I could post what I ate, but didn't get to it.
It's January 1st 2015. I know, totally fitting to start a new eating regime (not a fan of the word 'diet'). Whatever. It is what it is. My biggest fears looking forward:
1. I'm about to have a baby and I'm worried about the meals in the hospital while I'm there as well as the meals people bring in to me after I get home. Trivial, maybe, but still a real fear.
2. Nursing. Am I going to have mad-weird cravings like I do when I'm pregnant? I've done this 3 times previous but I can't remember what nursing is like in the food craving department. Non-existent? Hopefully.
3. Dressings, sauces, and the like. Hoping I can find a way around the bottled stuff I currently use (mostly natural/organic, but as I've read, that doesn't mean they are healthy).
That about wraps it up actually. Not bad. I'm glad to be doing this 100 day experiment before summer hits. I feel like I have way more control in my surroundings which is obvious. I am in control. I do the cooking as it is. I feel like I eat pretty healthy as it is, so I'm a little worried, but not terrified about this whole thing. I love to cook and bake, so I like to think I'm ready for the challenge.
I don't know that I'll list what I eat each and every day, but I will occasionally to give ideas and remind myself when I look back through this documentary-can I call it that?
Breakfast: Scrambled eggs w/ cheese. Whole wheat bread (I make my own), with butter. 1/2 an orange (had to share with my dang kids). Water to drink
Snacks: Greek yogurt w/ pecans, peanut butter toast (I am so so so happy that I can still have this! This is a serious go-to of mine. Peanuts are questionable in terms of GMO's and what not, so I need to research that better. I know next to nothing about the health part of peanuts right now. I'll put it on my to-do list.
Lunch:We were painting the bedroom in the basement getting ready for the little bean to get here, so I actually didn't have lunch...
Dinner: Sweet potato (350 60 min. Cut up, pour organic EVOO, oregano, s&p over the top in a 9x13 pan and mix with hands. So incredibly good.), quinoa/brown rice w spices, spinach salad with balsamic vinegar reduction (purchased), organic applesauce. Can I stop saying organic? Just know that I try to buy mostly organic. Not everything, but I do try. I hate the thought of pesticides on my produce, so I really strive there, but again, not everything.
Breakfast for Day 2- Steel cut oats with maple syrup and cow's milk.
I adore steel cut oats, but usually have brown sugar with them so this was pretty bland. Not so good. I need to figure a way to make this taste better. Or just buck up, which is what I did today.
