April 3 - Six Weeks

It was my goal to have no sugar or flour for six weeks.  I did it!  Results: I've lost some weight, I have more energy, my knee, hip, and IT band have felt way less pain than before.  All good things!  I'll allow myself an occasional bit of sugar or flour now.

Lemon water

Breakfast - sweet potato pancakes, oatmeal, bananas, dried blueberries, peanut butter

Bike ride to library and back

Protein shake with bananas and almonds

Lunch - Roasted veggies, turkey burgers, tomatoes, bell pepper, milk; yogurt mixed with chia jam

Dinner - mashed potatoes with marina sauce and meatball.  This was weird.  I won't do it again.  I'll do a different pasta substitute next time it's Italian night.  Slice of ham, green beans, bell pepper, tomatoes, milk.

Granola & Strawberries, pero/postum

Yakisoba minus the ramen noodles & sauce plus zoodles.  So good.

Village Inn pot roast dinner was way good.  Lots better than I expected.
 I also had a side salad and diet pepsi.

Day 9 Nutritional Yeast

February 28

6:30 lemon water

8:00 Ezekiel English muffin avocado toast and peanut butter toast with berries and chia seeds, pero/postum in milk

12:00 Cottage cheese topped with pineapple and blueberries.  Cucumber, baby bell pepper.  Zoodles sauteed in butter and garlic, mixed with black beans and some Nutritional Yeast.  The Nutritional Yeast gave it a cheesy flavor.  I'm pondering all the other uses for it...

4:00 Clementine, blueberries, 3 dates, string cheese.  Wow, dates and string cheese are really good together.

Pilates

6:30 Homemade pizza - ham, pineapple, mozzarella, marina sauce, basil, tomatoes with spaghetti squash on the bottom instead of a crust.  I just heated it all up together (minus basil and tomato) and it was surprisingly a great combination.  I will definitely make that again.  Milk to drink.

7:45 Handful of trailmix at the church (mixed nuts and raisins)

10:30 sf hot chocolate

Breakfast - Avocado toast and peanut butter toast with berries and chia, pero/postum

Lunch - zoodles and black beans, cottage cheese & fruit
