The 25 Day NO Flour Challenge 18/19

Days 18 and 19

 

It was just WAY to HOT to come out into the school building to go online to put in yesterdays blog

and to tell you the truth it is miserable as well today

the humidity is unbearable for me

I have stopped sweating since Friday morning..

 

 So I made the unending Oatmeal Bowl 

Never-Ending Oatmeal Bowl

(serves 1)

• 1/2 cup rolled oats
• 1 T chia seeds
• 1 1/2 cups water or non-dairy milk
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup more liquid
• optional: sweetener, add-ins

Place your oats and salt in a large, microwaveable dish (I use a pyrex 4-cup measurer) with the non-dairy milk. (You can use all water, but it’s MUCH creamier with milk. I use a combination.) Microwave 1 and 1/2 minutes, then add your chia and 1/2 cup more liquid. Microwave 2 more minutes. Don’t open the microwave door yet. Instead, leave your mixture for five minutes. Then stir and put in the fridge—uncovered—overnight. Next day, it will magically be thick and ready for your favorite add-ins!

 IF anyone ever told me I would eat cold oatmeal I would have said.. NO WAY...but this is actually very good.. if you don't at least try it ~ pooh on you!

I had that for breakfast this morning with some fresh blueberries and chopped raw almonds.

Yesterday I ate a mango for breakfast

Lunch.. WATER

Dinner... More Water and More Water, instant potatoes, tempeh and a salad of spinach greens with cucumber..to hot to cook!

I don't even know how much water I drank yesterday but we went out to do errands and I actually carried my SIGG bottle and drank it while shopping in Home Depot, Lowe's and Michael's 

Celebrate Earth

Reuse ~ Renew ~ Recycle

There have been no real challenges other than Restaurants

IF you are a vegetarian they think all you eat is Pasta!

PLEASE if you own a restaurant or know someone who does

Encourage them to create a dish for people who don't eat flour products!

Because I am telling you right now

THERE AREN'T ANY 

 

I have been forced to eat lobster salad.. three times now for there were no viable choices.. Salmon maybe.. in RI FRIED is the way to go....

 

 

There is no wonder in my mind WHY so many people are obese

THE food CHOICES we have are POOR

IF you are hungry 

Want a quick bite

Are to tired to cook

WHAT do you GRAB

?????????????

Bread or Pasta most likely!

THEN I encourage you to do a 25 day NO FLOUR CHALLENGE

it's an eye opener if nothing else

 

So far this month I have lost a total of 5 lbs

Not Bad!
