A beautiful sunset to end the day.

Fiche, Twintig, 20

Twenty in different languages.

I’m 2/3 of the way through, 66% finished.

Another day. I’ve been enjoying my energy balls for a special sweet treat. I call them my “not cookie” cookies.

It was a pretty relaxing day really. Not much other than going to service. I needed a slow relaxing day.

Nineteen

These days are flying by. I’m glad I finally committed to do this. I do feel better but I’m still hopeful for more positive results.

You know, things like clearer skin, less congestion/mucus, no bloating, maybe some weight loss. I realize I may need to continue this little experiment a tad bit longer, but we’ll cross that bridge when we get there.

While I’m enjoying the fruit I’ve been eating I’m kindve hankering for some tasty treat that’s, you know, more like a cookie. I’ve found a few no sugar added recipes on Pinterest that I’d like to try.

Most sugarless recipes that I found call for a sugar alternative. While I’m not opposed to using monkfruit or erythritol later I’m not interested in using them during this 30 days. So I’m looking for a dried fruit based recipe. I found this one that I made sans chocolate chips plus hemp hearts. Pretty tasty.

I scored a big box of bell peppers for $10 at the local IGA and chopped a gallons worth for the freezer, a quart in the fridge, along with four large sliced up for dinner tonight. I also got a flat of mushrooms for $5, best deals ever. Dinner tonight is vegetarian fajitas with refried beans. We’ll have peppers, onions, mushrooms and jackfruit in our fajitas. Sour cream, guacamole and salsa with corn tortillas. I’m hungry now!

Eighteen

Woke up to three inches of fresh snow with it still coming down. ❄️

I’ve been trying to eat fruit with each meal or at least three times a day. I had some banana slices and blueberries with breakfast. I grabbed a smallish pale orange for lunch. We’ve been enjoying all these oranges and grapefruit. I peeled my orange and after the first bite realized I had a largish dark lemon. 🤪

So I’m behind on eating my fruits for the day. Need to double up now. Lol

Salmon for dinner. Fresh squeezed grapefruit juice to drink.

I’m off tomorrow for an appointment. Looking forward to sleeping in a bit.

Saw 11 moose on the way to work this morning.

Like this one just right of center, grazing on alder.

Quinceañera

15 days instead of years.

I worked hard and diligently today.

We had butter chicken and brown rice with Israeli salad for dinner.

A few golden figs for dessert.

I feel about the same. Easier to breathe but still some congestion. I’m not exhausted at the end of the day but I’m ready for bed now.

Making progress.

A Fortnight

Today marks two weeks since I’ve had anything with added sugars or booze. So far, so good. I feel like I’m not as tired by mid-afternoon. More energy is always a good thing.

Today is a lazy day. Watching the playoffs, maybe getting some food prep done for this week. Maybe doing some laundry. Maybe. Maybe not. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Thing 2 went outside and found a moose shed this morning. Pretty nifty find! I wonder if the other one is nearby? We’ll have to look once the snow melts.

Moose Antler Shed

Panda and I went for a little walk-about. She had fun playing in the snow.

Snow Dog

How ’bout them KC Chiefs?!?! What a great game.

Steak & cheese melts for dinner. I know, not on the anti-inflammatory diet but oh so good.

Lucky 13

I don’t know what all the fuss is about the number 13. It’s always been normal for me.

It warmed up and rained on all our fresh snow last night which made for an ice rink in our driveway and a one-way only hill.👇🏼 So we stayed home from service. Enjoying a relaxed start to our day. Hopefully catching up on much needed rest.

Since I fully stocked the kitchen yesterday I feel like making all the foods. Eating all the fruits. And making some sort of bougie NA, no added sugar drink. I’ve got grapefruit seltzer, grapefruits… Hmmm. Off to check Pinterest for recipes.

Here it is, fresh squeezed grapefruit, juice of half a lime, salted rim and grapefruit seltzer over ice. Tasty!

Cold sandwiches and leftovers for lunch.

Pizza for dinner.

Life is good.

When I checked the mailbox yesterday I found this lovely handmade hat with a fox pom. (By Rachel @Hibernation Textiles) No card (oops, there was a card, I just missed it!), just a surprise gift. I think I know who sent it tho. 😉 Sneaky friend.
