The 25 Day NO Flour Challenge Day 22

Day 22

Yep.. 22 days have passed

I am feeling accomplished

To leave all breads, rolls (especially those damn portuguese grampa rolls in the local portuguese grocery store), english muffins, pasta, spaghetti and noodles alone for 

22 days isn't something to scoff at

THINK ABOUT IT

WHEAT that is....

how often do you simply eat these without a second thought

Because we all grew up with it

Wheat is even one of the first ingredients in some/ most dog foods

WHY?

Well.. it's cheap

The government subsidizes the farmers for growing it

IS IT HEALTHY

?

sure 

but not in every single thing we eat

 The Square Mushroom

The kids found this 'square' mushroom popping out of the ground yesterday

THIS IS FOOD

well maybe not this particular mushroom

BUT FOOD

it came from straight up from the earth

FOOD is PURE
and wasn't really meant to come in packages

THE LASTEST things to drive me crazy in the grocery store

CUT KALE in a PLASTIC BAG (OMG.. how lazy can one be)

SPINACH to MICROWAVE in plastic BAGS

NO REALLY

 Why not eat the frikkin plastic bag toooo

 Would you EAT these PEBBLES?

WHY NOT?

People you are poisoning your bodies with plastics

Second thing I have learned

while looking for healthier food choices in eliminating flour

IS

NO PLASTIC

I actually managed to stick to only the perimeter aisles of the grocery store

Dairy... 

Produce which mostly comes without plastic, but sadly not all of it!

This is WHO I used to be 270 something pounds...

And this is me 28 years later.. Looking younger ~ feeling healthier at 167 pounds

Yesterdays menu

The never ending Oatmeal bowl with raw almonds and a fresh peach

Snack  SEASNAX...seaweed

Lunch Raw spinach, with Zima tomatoes, cucumbers, fresh pineapple and cheese with apricots

Dinner

Steamers (clams fresh from the farmers market) Corn on the Cob and summer squash both also from the local farmers market purchased just before eating.. 

and lol

some of the black bean brownies my daughter made for my birthday with some Eddy's Ice Cream

that's going to hit the dust soon!

ENJOY THE DAY
