So the past two weeks, I have not been as diligent with my diet as I should be. Yesterday, I decided to fix that. I am back on a plan that controls the sugars and allows me to feel healthier. I also resumed my workouts. Exercising is never easy, but if you back off for a time it is so hard to start again. It's better to not stop, but sometimes life forces you to stop. Hopefully, I will be more diligent at making time from now on.

| Shakes Alive! I eat a lot of these. lol |

| This is one of my favorite treats. Frozen blueberries. I am not a fresh blueberry fan, but frozen, these little babies are sooo addictive. The process of freezing enhances their sweetness, and their texture is exactly like a little Popsicle. It's like eating little baby popsicles. A serving is 1/4 c. I think I always eat about twice that much. (Also, if I make oatmeal for breakfast, I put a few of these in the bowl and pour the hot cereal over them and then I cover the bowl for a few minutes. The blueberries swell up and sweeten the entire bowl. So good!) Do yourself a favor and freeze some of these babies. Yum!! |

| Tillamook Yogurt does not have growth hormones, or any strange preservatives. It is sweet and yummy and I love it. I love Yoplait too, but I really like knowing that there are no growth hormones in my yogurt, so I chose this. It is a nice snack, but can raise sugars. My sugars were only at 74, so I was pretty safe with this choice. |
 |
| Lunch was lettuce wraps and cottage cheese with light peaches. Not gourmet, but very satisfying. Look how many wraps I can have. That is more than a sandwich. |
 |
| Dinner was hotdogs and sausages for the family. Mine was a Louisianan style hot sausage. I made my diabetic-friendly cole slaw, and cherry-pineapple salad. That salad, is not salad, by the way- it is dessert. Very good, but really sweet, even with my modifications. I froze the left-overs, so I won't be tempted to eat them this week. |
 |
| I made peanut butter protien balls for a late snack. Because these have honey, they still have sugar and raise sugar levels, but they are better than a cookie with refined flour and sugar. Plus they have lots of protein and healthy oats, so yum. :) |
Little popsicles. I need to try that. =)
ReplyDeleteI love putting frozen blueberries in some granola & cover with milk. The milk freezes to the blueberries - like a blueberry & cream popsicle - yum!
ReplyDeleteWill you post the protein balls recipe?
ReplyDeleteYou are not the only person who has asked for this. I wrote to the company that produces the book that has the recipe. If they give permission I will post the recipe. :)
