Today was the start, so I didn't follow it to the T as I had to go grocery shopping.
So before I went I had a banana and 1/2 rice chex for breakfast.
The day got away from me and the kids were being.... overly helpful? in the store, so what should have been a 1/2 hour trip...turned into almost 2 hours.
I had 1 oz honey chicken breast for lunch as I prepped my vegetables and fruits to go in the fridge and packed food for work.
I packed 13oz of fruit (pineapple, red grapes and green grapes)
an Apple
1 pound of greens (8 oz spring mix, 4 oz cucumbers and green beans),
8 oz carrots,
8 oz mushrooms
1 plum tomato
I found organic quinoa that I can take to work and microwave.
I need to figure out a flavor... because there's no way I can eat this much salad without it.
How'd your day go?

Eat to Live
I am a terrible blogger and I fully recognize that. I am writing novels at the moment so my time is fully invested there and with my kids since I homeschool.
However, part of the reason I started this blog was to lose weight.
Life's Little Lessons.
A hard lesson for a lot of us is to portion control, not eat junk and be healthy.
Almost two years ago I went Gluten Free because I've had no choice. I'm allergic to nuts, and I'm not supposed to eat dairy... but I do.
So where does that bring us today?
270ish pounds.
Can you believe it? I certainly can't.
How the heck did I let myself get here?
Good question.
No. Control.
So tomorrow morning, we're heading out with a grocery list and a daily menu and we're taking back control.
My father started a modified Eat to Live diet. He's lost 40 pounds on it in the last 6 weeks. My father, who has always weighed more that me, currently weighs about 50 pounds less than I do. How about a rude awakening!
Him and I are similar, so I decided, I shall also try this diet.
So tomorrow, I start to Eat to Live.
I hope you'll join this journey with me. I'm going to make a note in my calendar to add to this daily so you can join in and we can share this journey. I won't hold back, I'll tell you everything I ate, what did and did not work and of course how I feel along the way with my symptoms.
Just so you know, currently I have Hashimotos, Hypothyroidism is in remission but my number is sitting at a 4.23. I'm severely deficient in Vitamin D, and I work nights. Lets see what can improve.
See you on the other side!
