Well it has been a while since I have posted, mainly because life got stressful. When life gets stressful usually that means the diet goes out the window, right?
WRONG! *insert evil laugh here*
Not only did I stick with this lifestyle change, but I have done really well! Almost 14 pounds down, and I'm feeling pretty decent too. I'm starting to really enjoy all the food, and it is so fun making new recipes. For example, a few weeks ago I made this amazing chicken salad:
1/2 cup (or to taste) diced celery
1/2 cup (or to taste) diced blueberries
1/2 cup (or to taste) sweet onion
1/2 cup (or to taste) chopped walnuts and/or 1/2 cup chopped pecans
1 cup diced chicken bits (I usually get organic chicken tenders and then fry them up in water and a dash of sea salt, then once they have reached an internal temp of 160 degrees, let them cool off a bit and then dice them up)
Sauce:
mix together in large bowl:
1/2 cup plain organic yogurt (no sugar or additives)
1 teaspoon organic no-sugar Dijon mustard
1/2 tablespoon olive oil
1/2 tablespoon Apple Cider Vinegar (do not use white vinegar as it is not permitted in this diet)
salt and pepper to taste
This is one of my favorite recipes, and yesterday I changed it by adding a tiny bit of organic bacon (low sodium, no sugar or additives, allowed on this diet for special occasions) instead of chicken, and switched out the blueberries for strawberries. Seriously amazing.
Tonight I'm going to make pizza I think. I'll post the recipe and a picture in the next post.
