"Calming my body and mind with steamed vegetables and chicken breasts." - Bi (Rain)
A rant from my lunch, and the toils of yesterday
Date: 1/5/2009 2:09:59 PM ( 15 y ) ... viewed 2334 times Hahaha... I truly understand the meaning of that statement now. While trying to figure out exactly what and where I want to go health wise, I've stuck with the basics for my new food plan: chicken breasts and steamed veggies. I'm not hungry, I must say, but, I need to make some type of sauce for the veggies. They are so, whats the word, BLAND! GAH! My sister made this nice sweet spicy sauce on Saturday when she made the chicken breasts, but sheesh, it was so sweet and made with SPRING ROLL SAUCE!! Not exaclty healthy ,eh?
So, I ate my mingy food, thankful that i even have something to eat. Gotta really think of something better to eat. Right now I'm low on carbs, which is good, and high on veggies and protein. I want to loose weight, that is for certain, but not like a DRASTIC weight, to a nice weight. I'm not going to tell you how much i weigh, well because, I can lie, and I don't want to lie, and that will make this whole blog a WHOLE DIFFERENT THING SO... bear with me, please.
Several thingsthat I have noticed that i have to change is this: when I eat my meal of steamed veggies and chicken breasts, I get hungry near bedtime. Being Ghanaian, the typical thing to do is what... grab some Milo, a hunk of bread, slather some margarine on that bad boy and gobble the whole thing up.
Um, not thanks, i don't drink milk. (Milo btw is a cocoa drink, like hot chocolate made with evaporated milk, sugar and lots of Milo) I can't eat the before I go to bed, so what EXACTLY DO I EAT? The good thing to do, is eat an apple. yes, thats right an apple before bed. But its like I'm starving myself, which I don't want to do, I want to cleanse myself and be truly healthy.
Ugh... Anyways, to something more cheerful, as you already know, I CAN DO LIVER/GALLBLADDER/KIDNEY/PARASITE/[ENTER BODY PART TO CLEANSE HERE] CLEANSES NOW! yAYYYYYYYYY!! So happy about that. i have the go ahead, but then my dad said something yesterday night that caught my attention. Here's what happened. My keeps the baking soda under her sink in her bathroom. My new oral regime requires that I use baking soda. So, I go into mom and dad bathroom, and remove the baking soda. Nobigge, RIGHT!? RIGHT?! WRONG?! Dad, through a haze of sleepiness then asks the question,
"What do you have in your had"
And I reply, "Baking Soda"
Dad says, "What are you using it for?"
And then I say, "To brush my teeth"
Then he says "What?"
Then I say "To brush my teeth"
Then he says "Ok, just make sure you don't turn into a health freak like your grandma."
Then I say, "Huh???"
The reason I said "Huh???" was becase of the connection between me and my grandma. I was named after her, and i know that everything that has a name, takes on that spirit. I know that me and my grandma share some traits, I've noticed that, she even visited me after she had died, so I know I meant alot to her. But could this new way of wanting to be healthier also be something passed down from her? Like her blessing? I hope so. But then again I alays thought my mom was a bit of a health freak... Then again, isn't everyone on this WEBSITE a health freak?
Nope, I don't think so ;)
