Today I did absolutely nothing but cook! Earlier I made the easy Chicken and Shrimp Gumbo. Tonight for dinner I made a roast chicken stuffed with fresh red apples and onion.. around the chicken I roasted Yukon Gold potatoes and more fresh red apples! YUM! It was delicious & very tender!
:) I am having a hard time not baking pies, cakes, cookies etc. I love to bake but I can't eat those things. I love, love pie! I am missing pie! Isn't that sad? I love food! Today is day # 19 of my healthy lifestyle change. It has not been easy. I write everything down in my food journal, and this can be quite annoying... But, I am doing it! Lots of egg whites, fresh veggies, fresh fruits, chicken breast, fish, salads! No butter, oil, cheese, meat, sweets, cokes, & NO FAST FOOD! I think this is a record.... 19 days without butter.. I need to start a group for people like me, Butter addicts anonymous! :):) LOL
I weighed Monday morning ! I lost 5 lbs. I went from 204 to 199! Yeah!!! Total is 10 lbs! My scales haven't seen below 200 in a while!! WOOHOO! It feels really good! I am feeling better and I don't feel so irritated and tired! I have a lot more energy and I am sure my daughter is thankful for Mommy to be a little more energetic! I am not only doing this for me, but for my family! They are my life, my loves and I want to be the best I can be for them:)
Thank you all for checking on me and reading my blog! I love hearing from you all:) If you have any special requests for recipes, please feel free to email me!

ReplyDeleteCongrats on your success and motivation! Living without butter, or dairy of any sort (for me), is definitely an adjustment. I am allergic and have had adjust a lot of what I eat to be dairy free. Let me know if you want some recipes to try. I have actually gotten to where I don't miss it nearly as much as I used to...but then again, I sometimes "have to" eat mashed potatoes!:) Best of luck!
