Slowly climbing back in the wagon!

Greetings fellow foodies!

It has been awhile since I have written. So much has transpired. First of all my wonderful guy has had some medical issues that have put us both on awareness of what we have been putting in our bodies. We are back to making much better choices, although I still refrained from frequenting the fast food joints. "GO ME" I still was not eating the best I could. However, the result of making better choices is starting to show. I find my clothes are starting to get to big!  Now that is a plus. I am not sure I've lost any actual poundage, the scale and I aren't exactly good friends! But when I can slide my skorts, and shorts down without unbuttoning and when I walk around I feel them sliding down. I feel that is an accomplishment! 

We have added back more fresh salads, and eating more fresh vegetables. I haven't started the exercise thing yet and that is on the list as well. We are limiting our meat intake and I'm working real hard to moderate or even say no to dairy!  Now that is hard, this gal loves her cheese!!!!!! 

I have frozen about 8 bags of fresh tomatoes to date. I just love making fresh sauces.  Anyone have a good one for tomato basil?

I am doing my best to limit or eliminate sugar and white flour. I have felt those effects. I gotta tell you, last Tuesday I could of beat up an ole lady for a candy bar!  People argue that sugar doesn't hurt you, some argue its a drug. I lean towards it being a drug. Try going off of it, and see what happens.  You feel like you want to kill someone, your body screams for it!  It's ugly! You truly go through withdrawals!

I have found a new grain I've not used before, Quinoa. I like it!  I do not have a whole foods close to me, but I do have an EarthFare which is along the same lines and they offer a very wide selection of pre-made organic foods. I was able to try this grain and found I really like it! It is also very versatile. So give it a try if you have not and if you have, shoot me some recipes!

Ok folks I must be off, duty calls.  I hope you have a fabulous weekend and keep up the good eating!
