Dieting Week 3

Au natural.


So the theme for this week is (almost was...sorry) natural foods, additive free, made from scratch.

Coincidently Mrs. B is starting retro cooking month on her blog and she promises lots of made from scratch/mostly healthy recipes. Check it:here ya go

So as a pagan I am going to jump on something that I admittedly should do more of (pagan or not)and go natural this week.

A selection from my week's menu:

Pomegranite and Tangerine Salad

Spicy Indian Veggie Kabobs

(Organic)Chicken Salad with Black Grapes and Yogurt

Roasted Veggie Salad

Winter Veggie Stew

If you're interested in any of the recipes message me and I'll send em your way.

Also, I'm addicted to Yogi Tea's amazing Blueberry Slim Life Tea (all natural)

That's me for the day. However if your are interested in going all natural with more than just food this week check Mrs. B's give away of a $25 Eco Store USA gift card. GREAT stuff!

Hmm...Dieting...week 2?

So I belatedly realized that my first week was set to be Thanksgiving. Which as you may imagine did not work out too well.

So I did allow the no refined sugar thing to go into two weeks, b/c week one was an abysmal disaster.

I have discovered that it is nearly impossible to COMPLETELY remove all refined sugars from a (my at least) diet. They're in too many things, seriously.

However I do have to say i had way fewer blood sugar ups and downs and crazy enegry crashes when I was at least limiting myself...so I will continue that trend at least. It is helpful just to be aware of what you're putting in your body. You wouldn't pour just anything into your car's gas tank, right?
