Shadow Shot Sunday

I have been a little too busy lately but when I laid on my new couch to rest a couple of days ago and saw this shadow, I remember all of the crew over at shadow shot sunday.

October Food Challenge

Fall is not quite here and so instead of doing things around the home fire, I am still out and about having fun at street festivals and cafes with friends and family. I am sticking to my food challenge and as a result, I have some new old clothes that I can finally fit into! Fitting into cute clothes was not my goal in this challenge but when I stop eating pasta, sugar and rice, it is as though someone stuck a pin in me and let all of the air out. White flour really does a number to my body. Also, my pilates class is helping to put my body back together again!

October Food Challenge

Today is day nine of my October food challenge and all is going well and I have added some great new things to my diet. In the mornings and evenings, I have four ounces of beet kvass and it is working wonders on my digestion tract. I have heard the name ghee but never asked what it was and none of my friends even knew what it was,but it is made from butter and now I have something yummy and good for you to put on my also good for you, spelt bread. And lastly, I have added bone broth to my diet starting this week. Bone broth is very healing for the body and my body needs a lot of help because I need it to last at least forty more years if not more!!

At the beginning of this food challenge, I was craving sugar which I get from my pasta so I found myself eating too much fruit but now I have that under control, it is an apple a day, not four apples. The other good news is that I started taking private pilates lessons and it is so much fun, I love being pushed.

October Food Challenge

October is going to be a real challenging month for me and I am so ready to kick this off. I plan to cut pasta, rice, potatoes, fruit drinks, and any other junk food from my diet. The junk is very easy but the pasta and rice, oh my, that is going to be hard for me because I love love love both of those starchy foods. I really did not eat that much today. I ate couple of boiled eggs for breakfast and I drink some beet kvass which is a medicinal drink. For lunch I had a tuna salad sandwich and an orange. I was too lazy to go to the store today so, for dinner I had some cereal and an apple but tomorrow I will get back to cooking healthy meals. I had planned to eliminate bread also but decided to limit it to only the weekends just so if I am out and about and need to find something to eat, I can grab a sandwich from a deli. So I am off and running and will check in every few days to let you know how it is going.
