CleanMED Day 5

1/8

I was really glad to talk to the dietician today so we could adjust the calories going forward! No wonder I felt overwhelmed with the amount of food - I think they mistook me for my teenage nephew 😄

Breakfast was oatmeal with blueberries and a yogurt+strawberry+banana smoothie. I did oatmeal first, smoothie a while later.

Lunch: Baked Tilapia (above) flavored with paprika, cumin, and oregano. Sides were plain brown rice and sautéed stomach. There was also a spinach/carrot/tomato side salad with olive oil and vinegar. I was able to eat all the tilapia and the side salad plus some of the rice. I tried the spinach but definitely prefer it uncooked.





Dinner: I have been looking forward to this: Southwest Chicken Salad, with black beans, spinach, chicken, corn, tomatoes, and avocado, tossed in red wine vinegar and olive oil. It was beautiful! This evening while watching the football game, I ate the apples that were assigned with dinner.

I went for a run but didn’t need the extra snack today.

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!!
