YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT
|
YOU ARE WHAT YOU EAT You are what you eat! I believe in affirmations they help me out. So when I go grocery shopping I just think you are what you eat. So its not hard for me to pass the junk food isles and it's easier for me to pick no fat over regular foods. Okay so I am all about good attitude and trying to be creative while doing what I am doing. In hoping something good is going to come out of this. I'm really only trying to make it in one place in life, I have made some bad decisions on the way, but I just make it to heaven, okay. But while I am here though, I want to try to make my life last and last in good health. Recently, if you haven't read all my crazy blogs, then you wouldn't know what is going on. I don't just blog about food I blog about my life and what Gia finds interesting. Okay so when I first going on my health trips last year. I am not going to lie to you I didn't really know how to be creative in the kitchen. I just really didn't know what I was doing and to be completely honest with you lack of knowledge. I have a mean drive in me to learn and achieve what ever I set out to do. I have always been a competitor even since I was in 2nd grade. I remember competing with Tommy Torres and Michelle in the class room from eraser chaser to mathematics. LOL. What do I do for a living? I chase paper the almighty greenback dollar and it's all about numbers.. LOL Who would of known those childhood games would have taken me this far. Well since I am a competitor I wasn't going to give up on what I was set to do a year ago. Due to lack of knowledge I start eating from all the food groups, but so dull and boring. That right there can make somebody weak minded give up. At first I was doing it all wrong. I didn't know what was considered an "EQUIVALENT OUNCE", what should you choose over the other, and had no clue how to make veggies taste good. I mean at first I remember I was just eating carrots raw, then the next day my selection was pickles , and third day I am eating broccoli. Okay somewhat variety, but eating like that would made the normal person quit and go back to their bad habit, cancer causing, valve clogging, belly building food. You are what you eat So a year later still striving to learn more, I have come a long way. 1800 calorie Bracket Today this what I ate and you eat a lot seriously and I managed to stay under the 1800 mark. I used one teaspoon of added olive oil throughout the whole day. Majority of the carbs and fats are good ones. Breakfast my favorite part of the day! Purple Protein Drink today I added some baby carrots * 6oz No Fat Yogurt * 2oz Skim Milk * 1 Scoop Whey Protein Powder * 2 oz Mixed Frozen Fruit Black & Red Raspberries, Blue Berries * 1oz Baby Carrots * 3oz Ice I used a hand held blender to blend all together. 6oz Coffee with half & half and sweet'n low Water, Water, Water .75c Cheerios and ½ cup of Skim Milk Snack 1.5c Grapes and Oranges Lunch Whole Grain Wheat Turkey/Ham & cheese sandwich Bean Sprout Salad 2 Slice whole wheat bread, teaspoon of mustard, no fat cheese, onions, peppercini, and avocados Bean sprout salad this recipe makes enough for 2-3 servings * 2 cups bean sprouts * 1/2 cup diced red onion * 3/4 cup chopped, seeded cucumber * 3/4 cup diced tomatoes * 2 teaspoons lime juice * sea salt, to taste * freshly ground black pepper Dinner Water, Water, and more Water Sherried Chicken and Rice I only had 1 cup of the rice and 3 oz of chicken 1 c. uncooked rice (not instant style, I used whole grain rice) 1 can cream of mushroom soup (I also used the 98% fat free cream of mushroom) 1/2 c. water 4 split chicken breasts, skinned 1/2 c. cooking sherry Arrange raw rice in casserole. Place chicken breasts on top. Combine soup, sherry, water; pour over chicken. Bake at 350 degrees for 1 1/2 hours. That is a lot of food and stayed under my mark.
