Ok, now my body is really feeling weird. I am so not used to carbs running around in my body, so my head is feeling a bit lightheaded, and it is getting harder to concentrate. I don't know if I like this ( Read more... )

I had my curried rice, and it came out just as good as my old version. But I replaced the white rice with brown rice, with no change in taste really, it just took a lot longer to cook (must cook earlier next time).

My first major carbs in two weeks. As I was tired of just having a salad, it was nice to add in a half-sandwich of grilled cheese. Yum! It was a good healthy bread with lots of whole grains, and was the best kind Rob could find at our local store, with no added corn syrup or other yukiies.

I will do a periodic progress post for myself, probably under a cut, so feel free to skip if you want ( Read more... )

Mediterranean-Style Diet Pattern Could Reduce Risk of Alzheimer’s DiseaseAt the suggestion of the SBD book, we have been trying the Mediteranean restaurant in town that was Robert's favorite place. I really like their hummus on pita bread (this was before Phase 1) and their meats and sauces. They even have the good rice that starts with a B, that ( Read more... )

Ok, for all the hunger I have after lunch, at least breakfast is filling and very yummy. I love eggs and ham all scrambled together. Now adding in mushrooms, green bell pepper, onions (love grilled onions), spinach, and cheese, and I have a happy tummy. Also a good cup of chocolate coffee toddy is wonderful on top. I am getting used to Splenda as a ( Read more... )
