This was taken October 2015 during Snapshot Day on the Carson River at Dayton. I remember being tired and feeling "fat," bloated, and overall just not really comfortable.
This was taken March 31, 2016, about three months into our nutrition program. By then we both felt (and looked) a lot better. People told my my skin was glowing and I looked healthier. My husband said for him the biggest change was getting rid of his mental fog so he could think clearly and pay attention to what he was doing. He also had more energy for work. We also noticed that we have been getting out and doing something on our days off now, whether it's hiking, mountain biking, or four-wheel driving.
Pumpkin soup! I know I mentioned it in my last post but didn't have a picture. The soup ended up being a little bland, and we happened to have some chili paste because we made pho, so I added that and it worked great! For pumpkin soup, I just roast a small pumpkin (save the seeds to roast later), puree it with chicken stock, heat it up, and add spices and onions. I've also added bacon, broccoli, and other vegetables, even cream, to add flavor.
This was breakfast the other day. I cooked some frozen kale in butter until it was wilted down, then added 4 eggs (2 for each of us) and coconut milk to scramble it all together. I also melted some cheese on the top and added hot sauce. I'm still trying to get my husband to eat a lot more vegetables and fruit so I try to add something like the grapefruit, tomatoes, or whatever is in the fridge along with the eggs.
In other news....
I was so excited yesterday at work because it's time to order new uniform supplies. I ordered size 4 work pants!!! They have not arrived yet but I'm excited to be able to try them on! I haven't been in a size 4 for years now...cross your fingers.....
