Pork Loin & Carrots, Broc, Cauliflower

In the crock pot yesterday I cooked a pork loin in a cup of water, a chopped onion, onion powder, and gluten free soy sauce.  I brouht a helping of that in tupperware to the office today. Threw a bag of frozen veggies in the microwave, then mixed in with my meat. Yum. It was the perfect lunch for a cold drafty day.

I hope to eat on that pork for the next few meals. Then I have some ground beef to do something with as well. I went ahead and cooked the meat and then when I get my veggies chopped, I just warm it up and flavor it however. (I'm not too great at the spice part....learning).

Time Flies

I currently do not have a computer set up at home and life has been crazy, so I’ve not blogged much lately…or..this year…

A friend of mine is leaving for a 2 week stay at a clinic next week, where they will begin her 4 year old on a ketogenic diet in efforts to treat his epilepsy.  I’m excited to learn more about the links between this diet and the disease, and will post more recipes when I hear more from her. Not that I'm going to do the ketogenic diet, but I think "if she can do this for a super active, picky 4 year old, I can prepare healthy meals for myself..a grown woman"

Due to several struggles this past year, one being capsular shift surgery on my right shoulder, I’ve gained 10+ lbs.. I’ve been tempted to try one of these trendy diets at some local medspa,..trust me…tempted…but have decided to give crossfit and the sugar detox a try first. It is the least I can do. It may not come off fast, and it sure as hell won’t be easy, but what comes off will stay off if I do it the right way.  I literally cannot fasten my wedding gown right now. My closest friends and family will all see me and I will see these wedding pictures for the rest of my life.

Here is the link below.  This weekend I stocked up on ground beef, brown rice (not the instant kind), canned black beans, tons of frozen veggies, etc.  I can’t quite nix the sugar in my coffee at work, so I’ve found a brand of coffee that I like better, and have brought that to the office. It’s more expensive, but everyone likes it, and it’ll help me avoid sugar. I also found some hot teas so sip on. In my desk drawer I Have some sunflower seeds and roasted almonds and pecans.
