ALL ABOUT TODAY: 20 January

FLAX SEED BREAD:  

The highlight today is the flaxseed bread I baked:

2 cups ground flaxseed meal
1T baking powder
5 eggs beaten
1/2 cup water
1/3 cup olive oil
1t salt

-Mix well and pour into a loaf pan. Bake at 180dC for 20 to 30 minutes.

I made this today and wow it was a sure joy to have bread. Bread that is actually in slices :)

BREAKFAST was 2 eggs fried served with cucumber and tomato salad that was left over from yesterday. Coffee and cream.

LUNCH was 3 slices of the flaxseed bread with cheese and tomato.

Midd afternoon I had a special coffee and cream with a sweet friend.

Late afternoon I sliced some cucumber circles dressed it with a dollop cream cheese and a tiny drop of sweet chili sauce on each slice. Was the best snack in years.

SUPPER is going to be baby meatballs and spicy sausage circles stir fried with onion, garlic, broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms and cabbage topped with a drizzle of soy sauce. My family will enjoy their stir fry with pasta bow ties and mamma bear will enjoy hers in a bowl.

HOW AM I DOING:

I thought of including this part in the blog just to share my emotional struggles with Low Carb Eating. My desire is to make Low Carb Eating a lifestyle. It just feels without accountability it seems an impossible thing. At times I feel so discouraged trying so hard to fight this battle to loose weight. I'm a stay at home mom home schooling my three children....... and food is a big part of my day as I cook all three meals and my day is often in the kitchen for hours. I take hope in the fact that Low Carb eating does work. That there is a way to loose weight and keep it there.

It helps me to look back over my before and where I am now photos to see where I have come from. I definitely do not want to go back to my old ways!
