Hello!
Okay first it has been so long, sorry about that, second
I still don't have a whole lot to say :\
I have been to the doctors for a couple weigh ins and was doing
really well, until I wasn't .... 😕
I gained a couple of pounds back and then had to work super hard
to get back to neutral. Ugh. So I went back a couple of days ago,
and I'm lower than when I started but not as low as I have been
I also have gained water weight! 😫
We have been in a heat wave right now so I'm drinking more than I probably
should but come on!
I have been trying to stick to my diet the best I know how but It is still incredibly hard! I went through this 'phase' where I was like Oh ya I got this!! now I'm like I got this but Uggghhghg 😋
I have been researching more recipes for soup!
I really like soup and my doctor suggested it after I told him
that the protein shakes he suggested made my stomach hurt! 😣
There's actually quite a bit to work with, I have been looking on the Silk website for some ideas there aren't many but there is some great looking ones! Which gave me Ideas for mixing and mashing some recipes together to make something awesome!
So thats it for now, keep going and hopefully something good will happen soon 😋
Let me know if you've been trying something is it working?
what are some of your favourite recipe websites?
Keep pushing forward you can do it!
Keep up your food journey, you got this!!
Thats all for now, thanks for reading!
I'll be back soon!

Mini Update
Heyy!
This week has been fairly normal - comparatively 😛 .
I have been having crazy headaches for about the last week, with
that being said I don't think it has anything to do with the diet,
the weather has been all over the place.
I have my check in on Wednesday, so until then I have no moving
forward changes.
I'm exercising more, with the worry that I will wake up with all the
work behind me, and having to start over again.
My dreams are fruit focused witch is crazy odd to me, buuutt okay... 😛
I don't really have anything else to write about. It's short this time, with
a hope that better things are coming!
Keep up your food journey, you got this!!

Update
Heyy!
The last little while has been easier, the diet is like second nature now,
and the intense cravings have gone, along with the awful headaches, which
everyone I know calls withdrawal headaches, and they sucked!
So last Saturday I had my check in with the doctor. It was great, more questions were answered, everyone is
super friendly and very encouraging. It's and awesome environment to
be in when embarking on this 'journey'.
I lost 7 pounds of fat and 1 1/2 pounds of water, it wasn't a lot, but it's a
start! annnd also a great motivator! It makes me want to succeed and meet
my goals. Some times it's still hard, and I'm not going to lie sometimes I
worry some how I'll put it all back on in the 2 week in between time, but
finding out I lost weight made me feel so good like this is possible, and I can do it!
I'm still on the first phase of the plan, but I'm not really frustrated with it anymore on the daily, don't get me wrong sometimes I just want to scream
and eat A SANDWICH!!! But I know now that meal prep is important, and if
I just take a second to calm down there is a bunch of things I can eat in the
house!
I know this is going to take a bit of work, but I'm ready! And with the support of my family I know
I can do this! Just remember to always keep an open mind when
trying something new, and that if you mess up once its okay as long
as you keep going! Persistence is key with anything that is worth
working for!
Anyone else trying something similar remember: You can do it!
That's all for now, thanks for reading!

So Far
Heyy!
So since the last post I have been feeling mostly better.
The crazy headaches have stopped, and the stomachaches (mostly)
have completely gone, however; some new things have cropped up.
So here's whats been going on since the last post.
Lets just start with Easter, and yes Easter in my family is heavily waited
towards religion, with that being said I have young nieces, so the Easter
bunny and his chocolaty treats have a fair focus. And yes I have resisted
but its incredibly hard when an adorable 3 year old wants you to share
her treats.
So I have made it through
the long weekend diet intact.
Now that I have made it past
what my mom likes to call the 'diet detox' I just want things that I used to eat but
shouldn't now, cheese being one of the biggest wants, which may sound odd, I mean
don't most people want snack foods? But I would be so happy right now with a
gooey delicious grilled cheese!
I mean don't get me wrong occasionally I would really enjoy some
Tostitos, or popcorn, but really I mostly want to devour some yummy cheese
and bread.
I have been researching like
crazy food that would be following the layout of what I should eat, and that
isn't the typical 'boring diet food' a different until I reach step 2. Finding foods
that follow the rules hasn't exactly been easy; however, since I thoroughly
enjoy various seafoods there are plenty of soups and poaching techniques that
sound real good, and I cannot wait to try.
Another thing that I find I can enjoy is various ethnic veggie dishes, curried
cauliflower is delicious.
I also have been looking up dishes and tweaking them slightly, such as sweet
potato chicken bites made without the sweet potato which turned out awesome!
So what I have learned so far is that meal prep is very important! Nobody likes to try and figure out what to make
for dinner when they've been out all day, their hungry, and dieting, thats just
a fact! 😛 So we meal prep. Prepping also ensures you will have good snacks
when you have to leave the house in a rush, so you aren't hungry during the day
and stuffing on bad foods.
Well thats all for this week
I'm working, and trying my best and not to sound cheesy or like a bad poem but, its
one day at a time.
If you are attempting a new healthier life style I encourage you to preserver it can be
hard but see it through, It'll work out in the end, It'll be okay! Keep it up!
Thats all for now, thanks for reading!
I'll be back soon!

Day One... Ish
Hello!
First of all I want to say thanks for taking the time to read this!
Second is background:
When I was younger - like grade 6 - I started having stomach trouble
It wasn't all the time or anything so I didn't think anything of it. As I got
older my love for cooking, and experimenting in the kitchen grew, as did the
level of pain in my stomach, and the frequency of the pain. So of course I did
what a lot of young people do and I chalked it up to just a stomach ache and
nothing more. Until it became too much.
Maybe 9 months ago I went to the doctor, and explained what was happening, she
said my intestines were swelling, gave me pills and sent me on my way,
and they worked amazingly, for about a month. When the pain was back with
a vengeance 😑
After many trips to the doctor and many tests we had nothing. So on the 28th of
March I went to a new doctor who decided it's best to work from the ground
up starting with a new diet.
I now can only have:
Extra lean meats
Leafy greens
Green beans
Seafood
Eggplant
Zucchini
Onion
and lemon, lime, ginger, and garlic to season
It's intense
So fist things grocery shop
day one I had chicken and leafy greens
day two I had salmon and leafy greens
day three I did some research and made some awesome chicken bites, with some
avocado which I forgot I couldn't have. Oops.
Well all I can tell you right now is I feel like crud. Theres no other way to word it,
Ive had a headache for 2 days and I'm almost always hungry with not much around current
that I can have.
I went into this diet thinking I would rock it so hard! But the more days that pass the
harder it seems. I know I have to do a proper grocery shop, meal prep, and I should be
fairly good from there, but in the mean time it is so hard I'm so hungry, and slowly getting slightly discouraged.
I have family support which is everything right now, I'm so grateful to have people
to help me when I feel deflated!
They say the first week is the hardest so heres to week two!
Thanks for reading 😊
