Back in town!!

It's funny how a person can leave their snowy cold town, go to an apparent nicer climate, and miss their hometown......well I am back in town and ready to renew my commitment to myself about eating healthy.

I ate pretty healthy whilst I was away, however it begins to be a hit and miss type of chore when you have to settle for restaurant foods.....I have to say I was pretty cranky!  Will I be prepared for my next venture....you betcha!!

I did some grocery shopping while I was in Nanaimo, begged for utensils and knives from the kitchen/restaurant staff..only to go to my grandson's mom's the next day with the convenience of proper "stuff" to prepare my vegs that I so kindly (lol) shared with my hubby and grandson....

March 30th/2011

It was a new work day for me...so I prepared my vegs of red peppers (my fav), cucumbers and tomatoes last night for my lunch...

I am finding now that I really need to be more prepared with a huge lunch so that I can constantly stuff my face with all of the right healthy foods....really vegs in ACV, olive oil and a clove of garlic truly does the trick...gives the vegs a kick!!

Prepared two pieces of mountain bread with a tsp each of almond/hazelnut butter (yum) an apple and about 10 plain almonds...that was my lunch...but it was not enough to satisfy my tummy...shall cook up some protein for tomorrow's lunch of chicken breast /rice and vegs.....

We have two Japanese students (sisters) coming here tomorrow so I have to get some good food cooked up for them...hubby will have to pick them up as I am working and he is working earlier in the day and at night....

I will get back to you with more information but just remember that I am a baby at this "clean eating" stuff and although I have lost 25 lbs, I still need to study and get the information into this brain of mine to be of some assistance to you all...if needed that is...have a wonderful night...Colleen
