2013 Goal

Last post of the month…  Wow…  Can’t believe how fast time is flying by…

I finally set my first 2013 goal…  It’s about time I come up with a goal for the year…

I’m changing my eating habits…  I refuse to call it dieting…  It reminds me too much of dying…  I’m embarking in a change of habits…  I do need encouragement and advice on how to get rid of sugar cravings…  I use to eat “big” pieces of chocolate, cake, or ice cream daily and before getting Diabetes, I’ve decided it is time for a change…

Suzanne Somer’s programs worked for me in the past; therefore, I think I’m going to incorporate some of her ideas…  You can eat fruits, carbs, and protein with her diet, but cannot mix any…  What I think I will use is the fruits in the mornings until lunch time.  Then, I will just eat healthier during the day… My metabolism isn’t all that fast so I probably need to give myself a month before I see some results…  Wish me luck…

Day 1  – I had (1) cup of coffee mixed with Chia Tea and ate pineapple chunks for breakfast…  For lunch, I made (½) of a sweet potato with onions and a little butter and (1) chicken breast fried with a little olive oil, onions, and olives…  I seasoned it with garlic and an organic vegetable mix…  For dinner, I made my concoction which is a soup made of a mixture of brown rice, barley, yellow and green peas, and lentils…  I cooked it on the crock pot with chorizo, ham, tomatoes, and spinach… I seasoned it with grated ginger, garlic, and the veggi mix I purchased from Whole Food…  Had a yogurt for snack…

I have not been very hungry today…  Wow!  That’s a first…  Positive thoughts….  I can do this…

I will not bore anyone with my daily recipes and frustrations…  But…  I will give an update once or twice a month… I hope I can do this because I need some extra energy…
