Sorry now new posts. I have been doing a lot of other things. One being changing my eating habits back to the old, pre- pregnant me. I have some new favorite healthy meals and snacks.
BREAKFAST:
Steel Cut Oats: They are the best oats for you and they are more crunchy like cracked wheat, not so mushy like regular oatmeal. After I cook it I put fruit ( berries, grapes, apples which I cook in with the oatmeal, it gives it such a good sweet apple flavor), nuts(any kind), and to sweeten it I use my new favorite way to sweeten: hazelnut Creamer. It only has 5 grams of sugar in 1 Tablespoon and only 45 calories. And it adds the yummiest flavor. And then I add milk of course. Something else I have read a lot about lately is coconut oil (raw and natural). It is a really good fat that aids in metabolism. So I add 1T of that and it also adds a really good flavor. Isaac and I eat this almost every morning.
Lunch:
I saute mushrooms and onions with a tiny bit of olive oil and some salt and pepper and then I put them on my sandwich. What ever kind or I eat it as a side with a yummy salad. So Good!!!!
Dinner:
I again saute onions and mushrooms with lots of veggies and chicken and then eat it with brown rice or I crack a couple of eggs in with it and then it's more filling.
Dessert:
Sugar Free fat free vanilla pudding.... I eat it warm with berries or nuts or semi sweet chocolate chips in it! So good! I also eat the chocolate kind with a little whipped cream and the pistachio or cream cheese kind!
I feel so good. I have such a testimony of healthy eating and what we put in our bodies. I eat tons of fruits and veggies and only whole grains and I have no more headaches and never feel nauseous and night which I used to have both of! I don't just eat to eat. I think about why I am eating and eat only because I am hungry. I have lost 8 lbs and 2 inches! Healthy food=happy life!

I just get them at Smith's. They have them at health food stores but I found them in the same place as the other, by Quaker, you know the guy in the hat.
