During the spring semester of
school I found myself overwhelmed by my Anatomy/Physiology class. If
you're a student or a mother and a student I'm sure you can relate. My
meals and planning was less than great.
I realized I wasn’t being consistent with my vitamins and I wasn’t being
consistent with my meal planning. Now
that school is out I’m focusing on being prepared for Fall semester and organizing myself, because
16 credit hours may be the death of me.
Especially advanced physiology!
I started rereading my The Eat Clean Diet books and now I’m
working on some Paleo eating as well. I’m
not planning on going crazy with Paleo but I do plan to stick with vegetables and
lean meats and avoid the chemical shit storm foods. I’m not a huge carnivore; I don’t like bacon that
well and with high cholesterol in my family it’s really important for me to
watch the fats. I’ve tried a few simple
meals and I’m finding that less is more.
What do I mean? Keep the ingredients at a minimal. At breakfast I baked a very small sweet
potato and mashed it, added 4 egg whites scrambled with spinach leafs wilted in
grape seed oil. (Grape seed oil, Paleo
recommended) I did add some seasonings; red chili pepper flakes and onion
powder. Dinner was another easy meal and
my kids love Sobu noodles (wheat noodles) so I made them separately. I made stir-fry with chicken, bok choy,
spinach, yellow onion, asparagus, squash, ginger and red chili pepper
seasoning. Since soy sauce is off the
Paleo menu I skipped that and let my kids add it later. I did pretty well.

Don’t get me wrong I’m still
working on getting 100% back on track and I did have two beers which of course
aren’t on either eating plan! But I was cheering for our Pacers so I will say I
had a 95% day! Don’t get discouraged
when you start your journey and you have a slip up. It’s not the end of the world and don’t throw
everything out the window because you make one bad choice. Write you’re your meals or take photos and
keep going. If you document what you’re
eating you will be more aware and have a better success rate.
Keep it up and keep going! It’s your journey and nobody else can stop
you!
