Hello Yogi, It's Fat Tuesday, and I'm having roast chicken and steamed brocolli for lunch. Quite a party, huh? Oh, but chicken is slathered with delicious barbeque sauce. Both of my parents are from the deep south, so that's practically a beverage in our house!
Speaking of beverages, i'm washing it all down with an ice-cold, frosty diet Pepsi. The sauce and the pepsi are forbidden starting tomorrow. No hot sauce either. It has sugar in it. My life will be changed without hot sauce. Do you think a couple of pureed jalapeno will be a suitable substitute? After all, it is a vegetable.
Of course the office is celebrating and there are enough doughnuts in here to sink a battleship, as my Mom used to say. I quit eating them years ago, unless someone comes in with Orem's doughnuts from Beaver County. They are the size of small hubcaps, cinnamon swirled and sugar coated. Just far enough away from our Washington County location to be considered a delicacy. But that's a rare occasion.
I chipped in for a King's Cake to share. I had a couple of bites, but it's way too sweet for me. My slice is heading home to Rich. He likes a little dessert after dinner. It's a good thing the sugar/dairy fast starts on Wednesday. I'll be five days into it before having to teach a yoga class next week. Wouldn't want to be a cranky Yoga teacher in the throws of withdrawal. "Down Dog right NOW"!!!
So I've decided not to post weight at this time. I'm trying to make this nutrition change about ample energy, cleansing sleep, clear skin, as well as weight. Not sure how those can be measured. Yogi, I feel honored to have you pulling for me through this journey. Please feel free to comment honestly. As of tomorrow, the "Your Personal Paleo Code" by Chris Kresser will be my nutrition guide. i'm only on page 100, but thought Lent would be a good time to start making these changes. May we all experience better health and vitality becuase of this experiment. Peace, love, blessings, laughter... Myrna
