It's the last day before my tux fitting. Today and yesterday have been filled with lots of delicious foods. I've been really getting into adding rice to my diet in interesting ways. It really goes great with so many things - and there are also just so many kinds of rices to choose from. Just rice and beans and corn tastes so good, and it's possibly the cheapest meal next to Ramen noodles. I got 1/2 can black beans, 1/2 can corn, and a cup of brown and wild rices from a bulk package, and made myself a seriously tasty and filling lunch all for what came out to be about $1.75.
With the whole wisdom teeth thing I've had to put a lot of my love for fruits on hold because hurts to eat them - apples, strawberries, berries, they've all been a little too tough to chew...bananas and small berries are fine, pineapple and oranges are fine, but I miss green apples. I was getting in the habit of eating about an apple a day, every day. Since, as you know, an apple a day keeps the doctor away...
My dad has been getting into the whole plant based diet and even bought his own copy of "Forks Over Knives." He's been reading books and really taking a look at what he eats, and I'm so, so, so glad. I read recently that Paula Dean was diagnosed with Type II Diabetes. Forks Over Knives team contacted her and basically is trying to set up a partnership where she will try the plant based whole foods diet, and if it cures her diabetes, she can be a huge health advocate for plant based, whole food living. I mean, it's only expected - Paula Dean cooks with more butter, oil, and meat in one show than most people can afford to buy in a month. It's so so true that it DOES matter what you eat. It's not just about eating less of everything. You can't simply count calories. There are skinny people that have heart attacks. This would be a perfect opportunity for a national fanbase to see that -- it's very sad and I hope that Paula seriously considers working with Forks Over Knives.
Tux fitting is tomorrow at 1pm! I'm excited to see how many inches I've lost and what my new sizes are compared to my fitting in March.
