Right & Wrong

DAY 2 Wednesday, March 28, 2012

I tried coconut milk in my smoothie this morning in place of my whole farm fresh moo milk.  YUCK!  It tastes like coconutL.  I will finish the half gallon because I paid for it, but I will try Almond milk next.

Things I feel I am doing right:

·         Drinking at least 8 cups of water a day (I fill my jug up at work in the morning and finish it before I leave for the day).  I also try to drink a cup or two of filtered water first thing in the morning.

·         Avoiding sugary foods and artificial sweeteners

·         Getting more fiber

·         Buying grass-fed beef (yum!)

·         Using coconut oil

·         Using My Fitness Pal to track everything that I eat & drink (I highly recommend some sort of “food diary” for anyone who wants to make healthy changes!)

·         Trying new foods

·         Avoiding processed foods (although I still have a ways to go on this)

Things I still need to work on:

·         Omitting grains all together.  I still “cheat” and occasionally have a wrap or whole grain pasta.  I want to go grain-free for 30 days, but I think I need to experiment with making my own grain-free sauces, seasonings and marinades first.  I want to be totally prepared so that I don’t “cheat”. 

·         Omitting (or reducing) dairy

·         Buying ORGANIC coconut oil

·         Buy cage free chicken & eggs

·         Eating more veggies

·         Educating myself.  I need to finish reading the 30 Day Total Transformation and read other material as well.

·         Omitting processed foods altogether.

·         Finding, buying and eating more organic food (being able to pronounce and understand EVERY ingredient on the label of my peanut butter, for example)
