Another beautiful day in Northern Illinois. The cool breeze blew the falling leaves all around our yard and deck. Just beautiful! I don't want this fine weather to end.
For breakfast I made scrambled eggs with roasted red peppers, mushrooms, a small amount of Fontina cheese and I folded in some avacado. I served that with a natural yogurt and 1/2 piece of whole grain bread.
Aaron and I shopped for awhile looking for a new entertainment center to go with our 2 new recliners. No luck so will keep searching.
For dinner I made low fat hotdogs, whole grain buns and I topped them with green onions and yellow mustard. I ate 5 tortilla chips and some fat free salsa, a pickle wedge and a small bowl of tomato soup.
I've been afraid of taking Ibuprofen for my back pain because of the water retention and weight gain, but I had to break down today and take one. I will take one tablet daily until my back pain is resolved. I hope it won't increase my weight. I have to be extra careful with my eating plan and increase exercise to the degree that I can stand it with my back pain.
Food For Thought:
Celery is known for it's colon cleansing attributes. A very natural and inexpensive way to clean out some of the bad! Now that I may be retaining water, I am going to increase my celery consumption to see if that will counteract it. I'm keeping my fingers crossed.
I remember as a little girl spreading Cheese Whiz into the celery stalks that my Mom (June) and I were preparing for a family party. Not the best of cheese products for your health, but they sure tasted great. If you don't like the taste of celery, try spreading a little natural peanut butter or low fat cream cheese in the stalks. That's a great way to eat healthier.
