Today was different. I did not strictly eat protein. Mainly because in my cancer book I read that the animal protein amino acids that we eat is what cancer thrives on. They can't use the amino acids already in our body but the yummy dairy/meat we eat feeds cancer cells. Then J. came over and made nachos. Yummy cheese. I'm not sure he will change his diet. Tonight I had some blueberries in my yogurt. For dinner I fed everyone some cheese tortellini with tomato sauce (lycopene is anti-cancer) and some green beans and new potatoes. I'm pretty sure I had three oatmeal cookies but that may have been two yesterday? I don't recall. I contemplated doing Weight Watchers Online. Then I typed some other stuff and the word "free" into the search engine and found "Spark People" so maybe I will try that. Or I could do my old WW program because I have my regular points calculator. Why don't my lifestyle changes stick? Any type of schedule change/health problem and I'm thrown for a loop.
Here're two of my boys:
Mr. J and his mini-me, Mr. C. and their matching shirts, shoes, shorts, totally unplanned. Mr. C. dressed like that this morning and J. just showed up this evening in the same exact outfit. The silver canteen thingy is actually like a round lunch box with a strap and it had ancient candy in it. J. made the boys throw out the candy though. Because it was so old.
I think it's easier doing just protein because if that's all I can have, I'm not that interested in eating. Then I worry about whether I'll go into starvation mode because I might not be getting enough calories since honestly I can do without meat. Tomorrow I think I'll do another protein only. Because the cookies are all gone now and I'm not a big potato chip girl. I think I'll send the chips with the boys in the morning. I sent one bag across the street to our friend's house where they boys have been spending lots of time.
Maybe I'll do all beans.
Hah.
