Happy to report......Lisa feels very good.
We went shopping together and had a blast!

A new begining

August 1st, great day to start something new and fresh.
And that is EXACTLY what my best friend Lisa V. is doing.
Ever amazed at my "freakish" eating habits..........Lisa has gotten motivated to the point of no return! YAY Lisa.
So as a best friend should...I'm here to help her all the way. I promised her that I will ,daily help plan (and most of the time prepare) what she will eat and to offer non wavering motivational support. There is only one rule;

1. Enjoy your life

We will eat ONLY fresh foods consisting of vegetables, lean meats, poultry, fish, nuts, seeds and fruit.

So you will be reading Lisa's daily food intake, instead of mine for a while.
First day went something like this;
cup of decaf coffee little bit of half and half.
Breakfast; blueberries and almonds.
Lunch; grilled piece of Mahi-Mahi (5 ounces) and asparagus
Snack; 5 organic cherries
Dinner; salad (organic green and red leaf lettuce, scallion, yellow squash, yellow pepper and cucumber) olive oil and balsamic dressing. Homemade organic chicken soup with 2 drumsticks.
What will day 2 bring???????

Breakfast;
3 boiled omega 3 eggs, half an avocado,5 asparagus, teaspoon vegenaise, fresh ground pepper.
Combine, ENJOY.

Get sweaty in the morning

Have you noticed that when you are physically active early morning, it makes for a good day?

Interpret freely ;-)

Breakfast;

Some salmon salad, (canned wild salmon, some vegenaise, fresh ground pepper, some cucumber) Asparagus (raw) cut up and some blueberries. The canned salmon I use is all wild (no big name brands) and comes from Canada. It's a great way to get wild salmon, as it is getting harder and harder to find. yummy omega 3's.

Pictures at last

Well, finally managed to take a picture this morning.

Breakfast was simple and for all you "I have no time" people out there, total prep time was 5 minutes.

Here we go, little olive oil, some scallions, 3-4 slices smoked salmon, stir and break up into pieces, top with a large heap of organic baby spinach. Stir.

One stalk of celery and a few pieces of pineapple and melon on the side.

Lunch; Quarter rotisserie chicken, half an avocado.

Snack was a small piece of dark chocolate.

Dinner;

Had my daughter over for dinner. She's my youngest one, for some alone time with Dad. (I have 4, so they need that every now and then) She loves steak, so we played "cooking show" she helped me and this is what we made. Small piece of grass fed rib-eye on the grill, large salad, and some tzatziki, (yogurt, garlic, cucumber, fresh ground pepper, little olive oil, salt.)

Glass of red wine for me, home made lemonade for her. We had a feast.

Always keep your words soft and sweet, just in case you have to eat them

Breakfast;
2 tablespoons coconut oil, 3-4 ounces of ground turkey thigh and breasts (natural), little bit of red curry paste disolved in some water. Don't over cook it, added some fresh organic spinach, barely wilted, served over two stalks of cut up organic celery.
The coconut oil together with the red curry paste gives it a nice "Thai" flavor, with minimal ingredients. You can go as spicey as you like.

Lunch;
Grilled chicken with a little oriental sauce over carrots. totally blah! Hey not everything I make is perfect. ;-)

snack; some blueberries and almonds.

Dinner;
