Natural Nutrition Month

The American Dietetic Association  has come up with a healthy eating guide and they have some amazing recipes (a lot of them gluten
free) to help advertise National Nutrition Month. Check them out @ http://www.eatright.org/nnm/

The guide alone is very helpful when trying to come up with a variety.

Today I've been craving a cucumber sandwich. I doubt it would be the same without the mayo so I switched in my favorite replacement- Guac! Guacamole has a great mayo like consistency but it has a much better taste.
For a funny guacamole recipe in song version check out Rhett & Link recipe http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kRlqsvphYww. I dont reccomend peppers.
On my sandwich I ended up not adding the additional slice of bread because of the pure size. The combo was DELICIOUS!  So good.
I added this to dinner- which was ground sirloin smothered in onions and mushrooms.

Perfect.  I do notice that I need a better camera for food photos.

Bill picked me up dessert. - soy bars. They do mimic icecream pretty well. I'll have them occasionally when I want icecream. There is also a coconut ice-cream a well. Not bad.

I am mere days away from my one month mark. Eliminating the foods has been one of the best things I've ever done.

I've noticed some changes.

My congestion is gone. Migraines gone. Fatigue gone. Bloating is way down. My weight only has a 3 pound variance instead of 6.  My mood is terrible when I am late for a meal (which isn't abnormal for me- but now its worse). I like this though. Sofar Sogood. This upcoming month I'm going to toss in a workout routine to see if this will help my overall mood. I'm optimistic.
