anyway, i've been feeling good. working out more, losing some sugar weight, feeling motivated to go further. so i've decided to do a week of completely unprocessed foods. this is how we're supposed to eat anyway so i should be doing this all the time. but just a test for now to help me pay more attention to my ingredient intake....
basically i'll just eat natural foods. and by 'foods' i mean all real foods from the earth (& maybe animals too....i'm not a huge meat eater so we'll see how hungry i get).
can't eat - bread, pasta, bagels (which i love with cream cheese), cereals. and its not just the "carbs," there are plenty of other processed things like salad dressing but i don't feel like listing all of them.
can eat - fruits, veggies, nuts, berries, meat? and i figure i'll allow dairy cause its mostly natural. cheeses & cottage cheese are just molds anyway, right? plus i'll prob need the carbs & fat so i don't go crazy because i'm normally a carb-phine. plus people just need fat.
but i'm only doing this for a week.
ok, let's say until this saturday for now.
this means i'll have to do some more grocery shopping. and just a clarification...this is not a diet! i'm really just wanting to familiarize myself with the meals i can make with fresh, whole foods. hopefully i'll start craving real foods and making better food decisions that are not based on convenience.
and i'm starting now....
dinner tonight.
steamed carrots, broccoli & asparagus. mmmmm. just got them from a new asian market (crepe myrtle market) in stilly that we're super excited about.
oh yes, and wine is ok too. =)
