My 7 year old daughter just came to me , holding a cup in her hand. She says "Mom, I know this looks like ice cream, but I need to drink it because I am getting a little fat." (She weighs 48 pounds and is tall)
"What is it", I asked.
She replied, "A Break Fat."
I asked her to show me and she goes to the kitchen returning with a box in her hand. "See mom, it's a Break Fat."
Smiling, trying not to burst out laughing I replied, Honey this is an instant breakfast and you can have this in place of a meal.'
This makes me think as I do not want to give her wrong ideas about dieting and self image.
Anyway, as for today, I went to the club and did double of normal. I felt well afterward.
For breakfast, I started out with a smoothie with apple, blue berries and some tropical fruit mix. It was a deeep lavender and tasted great. I am looking more in to doing Live To Eat lifestyle. The foods appeal to me and would probably benefit my RA. I love Atkins but have had a big concern over proteins and fats.
I went green over the past 2 days, felt wonderful and today had some breaded chicken and my body feels achy now. The arthritis hurts. I will go back to full fruit and veggies tomorrow.
My family have a hard time doing low carb and perhaps since my children love salads and fruits, I think it may be well worth the effort to make really nice salads and fruits available to them.
Well, I am off to bed. I been up since 2AM and am very tired. Darn this day light savings time:(
