Today was a craving day. An open-the-fridge-hoping-to-find-something-that-wasn't-there-before kind of day. A hungry day with a long stretch from early breakfast at 5:30am to catch-all lunch at noon. But a good day. A day of eschewing pizza in favor of sweet potato tortilla chips, guacamole, and snap peas. I find myself looking for new and interesting flavors to take the place of sugar and processed foods (I find that processed foods, for the most part, need to be left out).
A couple of "treats" I've enjoyed the past few days:
A flour tortilla spread with a Tablespoon of peanut-cashew-almond butter, drizzled with honey, and rolled up to a tube of goodness. Hard to eat just one...
A nightly snack of a popsicle-- homemade ones from fruit juice or cantaloupe and honey or berries and yogurt.
Smoothies! With spinach! A bit of yogurt, some frozen berries, some of whatever fruit I have around, a handful of greens, and voila! Healthy and refreshing goodness.
I've been dismayed to find that I haven't really lost any weight from my week on my not-a-diet.. but I shouldn't be surprised as its not really a diet. I continue to relish my half and half in my coffee and butter on whatever I please. Fat carries flavor and I think helps me miss the flavors of sugar a little bit less. But it does not lead to the lowest calorie of diets...
One step at a time.
