Every little bit matters I guess. I made pineapple chow last night as my pineapple snack experiment. I'm not sure if salted cod is allowed on the detox because I'm not sure how it was salted so I may make the recipe with regular cod and salt it at the end. Not sure. I remembered my ex telling me how everyone cooks with natural ingredients over in Trinidad so I started to think of things that I ate over there. Being gluten free/dairy free/process free isn't so bad. I still can enjoy a lot of foods. People must think I'm only eating plain basic foods. I'm going to kick it up a notch for myself because if I have to eat on a limited budget I'm going to eat well.

Errr I've procrastinated on making real food in this awkward layout kitchen but I'm making this apartment my home so I'm determined to make it work. I just need to think of the big picture.

Lets get back to regular cooking lol. I need to make the best out of my summer so I still have things up my sleeve with the clean eating. Pinterest is helping my find so many more recipes than I thought possible. I will try them. I am starting to feel a little silly about how much I loved sweets because I would rather eat fruits knowing I'm not going to get fat as the result also it saves the real time instead of baking for healthy cooking. Why didn't I think of it like that before? Wasting money when it's already tight on food that's going to backtrack my health goals is a terrible idea lol. I'm happy to feel the 140s in my clutches. Hopefully eventually I will see the 130s because it's my ultimate goal. If I get lower it's a bonus.

Once I get this move over with I'm going grocery shopping. I'm trying not to have a whole lot of food to transfer over. My knees keep swelling up from moving boxes. I want to find a home not a place I'm going to move from in a couple years because it gets too expensive. Bleh. I'm going to force my luck to change. I ate off plan yesterday and my intestines basically collapsed like they were angry with me. So yeah, no off plan again for me for a while.

What? Lol. I thought for sure it would look like a gain because I made sweet potato fries late last night. I'm getting better at making them too. These really tasted like fries this time. I'm going to practice my curry too. I really want to make a bunch of foods that fall into the detox plan because my body feels better and I'm actually losing weight while being able to eat fruit. I thought not eating dairy was going to be really painful but the most that feels weird is when everyone is eating and I cannot because the meal is totally off the idea of the detox. It's ok I guess because I really want to get in the forties. Lol. I'm so close. 

Things I still want to try:

Beets

Mahi Mahi 

Guacamole (made by me)

Eggplant 

Rhubarb 

Something real with ginger (I made dressing but since I didn't have a food processor it didn't come out great)

Cabbage soup

I know my weight is stagnant because I'm not eating enough vegetables. I'm going to have some kale this morning after I do some chores. I kind of hate what my life is going to become but I'm really hoping I can make enough changes  so my budget is not as tight as it appears. It's depressing thinking about how my dreams for this summer just crumbled right before my eyes. I need to be smarter.

I ate off plan. Not on purpose though. I was trying to order something but stay within plan but I forgot to ask how it was going to be cooked. It came back in butter. Yuck. Talk about actually feeling like I was going to vomit and then the feeling of indigestion. I'm going to stick to bringing my lunch. I was not about to pay $10 for a salad that didn't even have more than a regular $2 salad mix in it. That's just ridiculous. I don't have money for that. I'm keeping my eyes on the prize. I need to be more economical about how I'm cooking. I want salmon but I think it's going to have to be a special occasion fish unless I get the sam's club card. Chicken is going to be something I could eat all the time just in different ways. That's the main thing I wish were different. There are only so many spices I can do right now. I would need a mini blender so I can make sauces correctly.
