Had an nice evening. I had dinner with Deb and Larry. We had a nice salad with all sorts of goodies in it. Walnuts, bell peppers, tomatoes, cheese, a little ham, chicken and celery with some Balsamic dressing. Delish! It felt good to eat again after barely eating the last few days. After dinner I and hung with Titan and fell asleep at 8:15. (I missed Idol!) Tonight I get to sleep in my own bed! Wahoo!! I do love Titan but it is tough for me to sleep at their place. I am still a little queasy but at least I can keep food down.
Usually Wednesday is my weigh day but for this week I am moving it to tomorrow since I was not at home this morning. Not sure what to expect. Hoping it is good!
So last week when I met with Grace, the personal trainer, she suggested that I read the Eat-Clean Diet by Tosca Reno. I had heard about the book through a lot of blogs and thought it was worthwhile reading so I went ahead and ordered it from Amazon. I also ordered the accompanying cookbook. I will let you know what I think. Grace said that it was not necessary to follow everything to a T but more importantly to give yourself cleaner options. I looked at the cookbook and there are some tantalizing recipes in there so I am anxious to explore some of them.
My car is ready to be picked up but I won't have time to get it today. I have to feed the animals after work and the shop closes at 5:30 p.m. I have really enjoyed having the Mazda 5 and am sad I have to give it up. It was fun while it lasted and I did put over 600 miles on it ;-D Hoping you are having a good week. Until next time...
I love that book by Tosca. Just saw your comment - I didn't really un-follow you did I? OMG - if I did I didn't mean to - crap. I made sure I am now - eek! Let me know if I do that again - I WANT to follow you!
ReplyDeleteI think that I will have to look at that book. Looks interesting. Hope you feel better soon.
ReplyDeleteOoh you will have to let us know how the book is! I have seen that one around and have thought about picking it up.
ReplyDeleteYou are doing fantastic! I love that you post your bodybugg stats!! :) I'm still aiming to get one of those!

Katie ... I LOVE her books and her way of eating. I have all of her books. When I'm eating properly, eating clean is what I do. I hope you like these books as much as I do!
ReplyDeleteI buy the Clean Eating magazine but have not read the book. Lots of good recipes in the magazines.
ReplyDeleteThat sounds like a great book. Let us know how you like it. Good luck on your weigh in tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to hear what you think of those books (and feel free to share recipes with us!)! Any day now I'm actually going to start in on Thich Nhat Hanh's "Savor" ... Maybe I should have done another bike challenge instead of the Cardio Cruiser this time so I could read while pedaling -- the cruiser needs arms AND legs free :(
ReplyDeleteI can't wait for your opinion-looks interesting.
ReplyDeleteI heart Tosca. She has a monthly magazine, Clean Eating, that you can subscribe to to get more recipes once you get into it. IT can be a little over whelming in the beginning but like your trainer said, just start small.
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see how you like it.
I'd love to hear about the recipes that you find and any tips you learn!
ReplyDeleteGood luck with WI!
ReplyDeleteBrad has a couple of Tosca's books for sale at the gym and I keep looking at them - let us know what you think of them...I may have to break down and buy one.
ReplyDeleteGlad you are getting your car and your bed back!
I've heard good things about those books as well...can't wait to hear your take on them!
ReplyDeleteI hope you're feeling better - throwing up is not fun.
Ha ha. Gotta love the Mazda and your own bed. Now that you know about the zoom zoom, you're gonna hafta buy one next car!
