So, today’s blog post (and the posts for the next 3 weeks) are going to be heavy on food and health things. \u00a0Be warned.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I’ve decided that I’m going to do a 21-day challenge to myself of eating mostly Paleo (I say mostly, because I’m not giving up rice or potatoes yet. \u00a0I need to make sure that if my Crohn’s decides to act up, I have some bland foods I can revert to.). \u00a0No gluten, no wheat, very little additional sugar. \u00a0Lots of fresh foods. \u00a0No real processed food. \u00a0No fast food. \u00a0Not a lot of dairy.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
I hear the first 7 days are the hardest. \u00a0I have GF bread and English muffins. \u00a0I have fresh fruit and veggies in my fridge. \u00a0I have corn tortillas and fresh eggs. \u00a0I’m going to bake tomorrow (yay, paleo brownies!). \u00a0I’m also going to be documenting my days here, so people can see what I’m doing.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Why am I doing this? \u00a0Because I’m not rebounding as quickly as I want to from my hospitalization. \u00a0I just had to talk to my doctor, and we extended my part-time working for another 2 weeks. \u00a0Also, I’m looking to get myself healthy, and with everything I’ve been experiencing, I know that even though I LOVE bread\/pastries\/pasta, it doesn’t love me. \u00a0I can’t eat it anymore. \u00a0I’m not Celiac, but I do have some sort of gluten sensitivity.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
So, I weighed in this morning at 277.4 lbs. \u00a0I’m going to be weighing in on Thursdays for the blog, and we’ll see how this works. \u00a0Breakfast this morning was 2 pieces of the potato crust quiche I made on Monday, and a cup of tea. \u00a0Lunch is going to be mushroom-stuffed chicken and broccoli and bacon, and unsweetened iced tea. \u00a0Dinner is egg salad sandwiches with broccoli slaw (my new favorite sandwich stuffing). \u00a0Snacks include cherries, strawberries, homemade guacamole with tortilla chips, banana blueberry muffins and bananas.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Also, I’ll be posting my menus each day, so you can see what I’m eating. \u00a0And if you decide to try eating like this, let me know! \u00a0I’m always looking for folks to help me out!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
