So, it has been over a year since my last post and well I wish I could say that I had continued on my journey and moved mountains, etc etc, but I can't. I was derailed by the train of life and went back to my face eating ways. I even went as far as to try the whole paleo movement which is like RAWR EAT ALL THE MEAT! & well, I am back on the non face eating bus as of a couple of weeks ago.
Why you ask? Well, eating meat did nothing for me but make me fatter and sicker. My lupus made it obvious that it does not like animal proteins at all. I was wiped out for almost a month with a flare that had me praying for death and well, that just is not acceptable. I am sure eating paleo works for a lot of people but I am not one of them. So here I am again, working towards a total plant based diet again.
I have signed up for Happy Herbivores weekly meal plans in an attempt to get more organized this go around. With working full time and coming home and dealing with kids I just do not have the time to plan meals it seems. Plus in a couple of weeks I will be going to school three nights a week so it will be mandatory that we have a plan through out the week in order to be able to actually eat dinner every night. So far it has been good, I have tried some new meal ideas like tomato & hummus on GF bagels, loaded mexican sweet potatoes, and veggie wraps so hopefully I can keep it up. I am feeling the benefits already.
