Diet has been a little difficult this past week, slipped up a few times but still no meat and very very minimal dairy! I find that it's pretty easy to find vegetarian meals but difficult to find vegan meals (e.g., even a Caesar salad usually has Parmesan cheese in it and some Caesar dressings are made with raw egg...)
I've rekindled my love for citrus fruits, juice, avocados, lettuce, salads, and spinach. Today I made a very healthy sandwich consisting of romaine lettuce, avacados, organic whole wheat bread, and raisins. Sounds like perhaps a slightly strange combination but it tasted delicious. Avocado is a great substitute for a starch because it has that smooth creamy texture but yet it's a vegetable that is very good for you.
My soon to be mother in law was admitted into the hospital today for a heart attack. It had us all really worried, and my hope is that this instance will get my fiance's family much more health conscious and hopefully I can help them! On this diet I have lost about 18 pounds in the last month, I have more energy, I'm sleeping better, and I'm just feeling a lot better in general. I know it's sort of a sad story, but she is doing better and they are going to get more information about it all tomorrow. I am really praying that my fiance's mom and dad both take this seriously at their age and start eating right.
I am going to go into get resized for my tux soon. Since I've lost a handful of pounds, I want the tux to fit pretty slim. Suits never look like you think they will...
That's about all that's in my life of healthy eating.
