oh wait it is only Wednesday!!
Nothing much to say today but I wanted to stop and post my meals....
Breakfast was 1/2 cup of Steel cut oats, a chopped up fresh Ontario grown McIntosh apple, 1/3 cup granola and 1/2 cup Vanilla Almond breeze. This was so delicious, the firmness of the apples only partly cooked and then the crunch of the granola made me want more, more, more but I stopped at the one serving... but it is definitely a do over.
Morning snack was a bowl of cantaloupe and a Fruit to go bar.
For lunch I had a smoothie again today....they are so quick and easy, I can drink it while I prepare the children something.
The special today was a frozen banana, almond butter, chocolate Almond breeze, spinach and flaxmeal.
YUMMY!!! In case you were wondering about the spinach... in a smoothie is tasteless so you get a funky colour and mega vitamins but no funny taste....this is a bonus!
Afternoon boost will be fresh pineapple and yogurt.
Supper will be brown rice, butternut squash and Italian sausage.
I feel on top of the world today, so much has happened this week and I feel stronger for having gone through it.
I have ordered myself the Eat-Clean book for families and Jillian Michael's book Winning by Losing and I am looking forward to getting them in the mail hopefully by the middle of next week.
I have the Eat- Clean Diet book and I use it almost daily so I am positive that the family edition is going to bring me great ideas to get the children eating more clean meals because to be honest I usually have to prepare two completely separate meals (one for hubby & me and the other for the children) and I don't want to keep doing this so some new ideas would be great.
As for Jillian's book.... she inspires me and challenges me so this was an obvious must read.
I am always looking for good healthy cook books (not the books themselves being healthy... ya know.. the food... tee hee). I noticed that there aren't alot of healthy eating recipe magazines. At least not as I was browsing Fred Meyers today.
ReplyDeleteI may have to check out those "Eat-Clean" books!! :)

Totally LOVE your book selections!! Just read Jillian's Mastering your Metabolism, and boy oh boy it was eye opening!
ReplyDeleteLove that you had a good week!!
I can't wait to hear about your thoughts of the Family Eat Clean book...I am tempted.
ReplyDeleteI read Winning by Losing and then was like, "Whatever." Now that I'm recommitted, watching the scale start moving back down I wonder if I should reread it. hhmm...
ReplyDeleteI look forward to your thoughts on the book and to hear about the others. :)
I've never read anything in particular about "clean eating" but wonder if that's what we're already doing? I mill my own grains and bake our own breads...we eat lots of fruits and veggies, lean meats (local if I can afford it), no processed foods, and we have our own chickens for eggs. I guess I would describe our way of eating as eating foods as close to the way God made them as possible. I may just have to look into these books. Thanks.
