Light on My Feet

The energy level hasn't fully peaked but I am feeling surges. They make me happy! If the peak is anything like the surges, oh boy! I'll be one happy gal!

Things I've noticed... smoother skin, stronger nails, thinning body, especially in the tummy and shoulders, rosey cheeks (on my face), clothes fit! and that's it. Taste wise... still miss my sugar in the coffee. Sweet veggies and fruit are sweeter. Subtle head aches remain.

Cravings continue...  to curb them, cheese and olives together, salami, coffee, apple and nuts. AND 70% chocolate bits. A whole square is TOO sweet! IMAGINE! I wonder what a WUNDERBAR tastes like now??? Oh please don't be ruined!

My one big  gigantic complaint about this way of eating IS... SODIUM NITRATE intake... which leads to another minor complaint, prep. This eating require foresight! Still haven't mastered that, and the consequence... bloating, thirsty and hungry. Cold cuts, bacon... If I want protein, it need to be meat... who has a chicken breast laying around? Or fast fry pork chops (ash's suggestion)? Time and effort will straighten this out. It's just taking a loooong time.

Discovered these CHEESE CRACKERS. They are made from butter, cheese (sharp cheddar), almond and coconut flour, is that it? Hmmm. Anyway, you bake them and WOWIE! They aren't crispy crackers, they are more like dense scones. It satisfies my bread needs. However, Ash says they can spike my blood sugar. Bah humbug.

Times of temptation... rice crispies squares. A darling grade 6 girl offered me one of her squares. It felt weird to say no thank you. I felt like I was insulting her even though I made them! I did thank her for her thoughtfulness.

Also as I get busier... it will get more challening. Convient foods are no no's. Sigh. Then there are parties and get togethers. Eat before you go is crucial.

I believe I am done sharing.
