Can you see a trend here for my breakfast and lunches. I kind of go in spurts. I am loving green smoothies and muffins, and for lunch right now I am on a kick of tortilla chips and mango salsa. I go with what sounds good to me (I once heard that your body craves the food it needs, so if that is true, I must need something in the salsa or tortilla chips). Either way, it is healthy and I enjoy it.
I have been trying to eat less and exercise more, and not eat after dinner which is usually around 7:00. I am getting a bit nervous for my cholesterol test on Thursday. That is the main reason I started this healthy eating plan. The weight loss was just a nice side benefit. So I really hope that my numbers are good.
Amanda and I started this week on the "Family Herbalist" online course through the School of Natural Healing. There is so much interesting stuff that we are learning or having reiterated. It makes me really want to eat even better. There are still some unhealthy foods that I am eating according to the class material. But as with most things in life, there is always room for improvement. If you were ever interested in good health and the use of herbs, now is an excellent time to sign up for their online course. The price is only 100.00. Normally it is 395.00.
