So here I am!! Back with another blog. Wondering what to say. I feel like I needed to start exercising my brain again, so here I am blowing the dust off of my keyboard.
FAIL!
Today I started this DTour thing. Its a diet for diabetics. Excuse me.. not a diet, but a new way of eating and living!
Great.
Not that I don't mind being a fatty. (yeah I said it).
But Its important if I wanna live. Sugars? No no no.. not for me..
This morning I started with a veggie omelet. First I tried to make it with egg substitute since eggs are so full of cholesterol.
FAIL!

It was a gelatinous mess. I was so grossed out by it, I basically made a fritter out of it and gave it to K. He ate it up with pleasure. I didn't have the balls to watch him. I walked out of the room and made my way to the fridge for the real fucking deal. I got the egg whites, spinach, mushrooms, onions and garlic... mixed the eggs whites... da da da da... grated a tad of 50 percent reduced fat extra sharp cheddar cheese. Covered it so the cheese can melt, while buttering my 1 slice of whole grain toast (with trans-free canola margarine of course). I set it all in a small dish and proceeded to pour myself 8oz of Almond milk.
Yum.
Lunch was just plain sad. It was tuna with mayo on a slice of that dense bread. And a half a small tomato. Yup. It was supposed to also have lettuce but I forgot to add it. The cool thing was that I got to use my food scale to measure 3oz of tuna ^.^
Here is the lunch...
It took me about 51 minutes to eat it. I really don't think that bread is the best tasting.
My afternoon snack was a little tart but sooo good. Its non-fat plain yogurt, blueberries and walnuts. It had a cup of yogurt as the serving and I knew I couldnt eat all of it. The tartness threw me off a little so I added a teaspoon of agave nectar which boosted the flavor. Mmmmmm Deliciousness =)
Last but definitely not least.. Dinner. I felt as if I was dining on Ambrosia. It was more than what I expected. Red pepper, Mushrooms, Onions, Yellow Squash, Brown Rice and 3oz of chicken breast seasoned with garlic and herb. The meat was tender and juicy. This is one I will enjoy again and again.
