Before I start my post I just want to give a little shout out to my friend Megs. She just got diagnosed as being allergic to gluten AND Dairy. Yikes! She’s decided to blog her journey and I’m excited to see what she finds to eat :) Go check her out at meochs.blogspot.com!
I’ve been thinking about my recent plateau and how and why it has happened. Some of it is definitely due to recent life stressors, but some of it is my irrational fear of losing weight. I had just hit a goal, I was getting down to my lowest weight and I think part of me is afraid of the change that I will experience. Instead of facing it, I sabotage myself. I need to get over this and it’s my goal this week to work through it.
My first step to taking control is taking control of my food. Breakfast was a piece of pumpkin bread and some bran buds with Just Pineapple.
I had a grapefruit mid morning.
Lunch was the last of our Chicken Parmesan
And some mushroom risotto.
Dinner was leftovers again and I made some salt and pepper chicken and mashed potatoes with an artichoke on the side.
Isn’t the artichoke a pretty veggie?
I’m off to unwind with my new Cooking Light and Real Simple. I love Christmas editions!
What do you think the prettiest veggie is?

Looks good! And I gotta pick up my Christmas edition of Real Simple!
As far as the avocado ice cream, it's a basic recipe from Clean Eating and it tasted like ice cream. Kinda avocado-y but I think it was because my avocados weren't fully ripe yet. The lime juice really helps to balance it but the agave does give it a nice sweet taste too!
I think that the prettiest fruit is pineapple and the prettiest vegetable? Eggplant? I really love purple!
Your poor friend! Gluten AND dairy! Gargh!!! And I whine about being restricted!
Girl, your photos are just getting more and more lovely!
Okay, I bought a vegetable tonight based on how GORgeous I thought it was!! Bok Choy!! It looks perfect..I have never cooked with it before..but will try it out tomorrow hopefully!
Mack, seriously don't fear the loss!!
You know I struggled with this too, spent way tooo long in the low 70's for fear of hitting 169 but damn, now that I am passed it... I look back and laugh.
You will too!!
