We decided to make these changes first because we were eating unhealthy, gaining weight, and our overall well being was compromised. Secondly, I had a back injury that has come to haunt me dearly. I am unable to do a lot of things right now, and going to a neurosurgeon finally to see what is going on! Finally had a CT Scan, and will find out soon what the heck is happening! Getting old isn't as easy as I thought.. ;) With not being able to be as active as I would like, I've had to drastically change my diet in order to lose and keep the extra weight that was sticking around. Having to take heavy pain relief medication is also so hard on me, and I have to put healthy things in me to make sure I balance the yucky stuff I have to take. Yes,.. I said yucky. So, I will post as often as I can. I have been taking photos of the foods we make, and eat. It's become a hobby, and as our journey grows, so does my excitement for trying new things, experimentation is *SO* fun, especially when my hubby gets excited about it. LOVE LOVE LOVE food! The very first thing we did was get rid of the microwave. Yes, I know what people think. WHAT?! How do you reheat food?! Well, it really hasn't been as hard as I thought it would! We use the oven, toaster oven, or stove top! We don't eat dried out, reheated food anymore. No more pre packaged meals from the frozen section at the grocery store! Even, yes, no more microwave popcorn! We found this fabulous popcorn maker that a friend showed us. Oh my gosh, it's so lovely! And the top is actually the *bowl*! How easy is that?! It is my fanciest kitchen gadget, besides my chopper and hand blender! Easy, healthy snack, at a fraction of the calories, which my butt really likes! We are by no means calorie counters though. But if you want to know, 1 cup of air popped popcorn has about 31 calories in it! We often add flavour to ours, I am in love with a Cajun mix that we purchased at the end of the summer from an herb farm in Nanaimo. It's fabulous on the taste buds!
