CleanMED Day 26

 Today was a little tricky because I went and dropped off my car for what I thought would be a quick service appointment. I ate breakfast before going down there, but then realized the car wouldn’t be ready until after 3, so I made the 1h journey home (walking + subway) so I could eat my lunch and take a guilt free nap.  I got my car, did a quick Costco run, and then came home to start very preliminary meal prepping!

I’m hoping that I don’t have to return the “emergency” meals I have in the freezer that the study sends me home with in case I am unable to come in and get food one day. If I can keep them, I will eat them Thursday.

Here are my containers, ready to go.  

I’ve been figuring out how many servings of each category I need each week so I can be fairly systematic about it. Yes, I’m going to be dosing my food! 


Tonight I measured out the almonds and walnuts. I still need to pick up oats and sunflower seeds and then I’ll have everything to get started. I probably should do something about the beans tomorrow to get some of those ready.  

I’m reading up on storing fresh vegetables intact vs chopped. I WILL get this figured out!

Cayman Brac Dive day 1

We all made it safely to the island called Cayman Brac for the Dive Frendzee takeover! I have been delighted with everything since arriving! It is blissfully remote and I feel quite content to never leave the resort compound to venture anywhere else.  It is like we are at the end of the world in a wonderful day!  The food...oh my the food! (I have officially turned in my Mom)!  It is all buffet but GOOD buffet!  Rolls, soups, multiple salads, cheese board, multiple hot side dishes, and then two or three entries, one always carved with a sauce.  Last night was ham. Oh, and dessert! 3 different choices last night: coconut flan, carrot cake, and chocolate walnut pie. This place offers Valet style diving, so in the morning, we were to have our gear outside our door in bags they provide, and they pick everything Iup and take it over to the dive boats and they set everything up! Valet diving, Princess diving, whatever you want to call it.... I am loving it! After that, it was time for b

30 day sugar challenge

Image
Ok, my goal is to restrict myself to 6 tsp or 25 grams of sugar per day as recommended by health organizations who study these things.  I haven't tracked my eating for a while but a I am sure I am way over that! I watched a movie called Sugar Coated and it had inspired me, as well as all my friends giving up things for Lent.  Since I have a marathon on Sunday, I will not be able to be quite as strict on race day but will give this a whirl. I started by going through my cupboards and was stunned by all the things that contained sugar!! My vitamins, calcium, taco seasoning... it feels like I am down to salt, pepper, oil, and dish soap!! I need to research whether that 25 grams is added sugar, separate from the naturally occurring sugar in fruits, or it that is all forms of sugar. That would be much harder!!
