missdianeAfter doing a pantry sorting (thankfully not much to toss out or to donate), yesterday morning and this morning I did some planned out grocery shopping, not too much, though. I also ordered a few healthy foods and supplements from Vitacost.
One thing I made a batch of yesterday is a healthier rice and grain mix. My little rice cooker was full of 3/4 white rice to 1/4 barley and then I drained and rinsed a bag of konjac/miracle rice (ordered a few bags from Vitacost) and mixed it all together, portioned some out to go with the string bean and mushroom stir fry I made last night and portioned the rest into three small leftover containers. I got a small salmon filet from HMart which I'll cook up momentarily and have half of it with more veggies and one of the rice.
A little while ago I made this bigger batch of pesto pasta salad since I had fresh pesto, cherry tomatoes and roasted peppers that needed used up. I put in half a box of protein pasta and a can of low sodium cannellini beans. I figured it would make a good breakfast to pack for work for several days with some of the mixed salad greens I got
I might also make some faux "egg" salad with some firm tofu I got at HMart yesterday. They had a sale this morning on all of the Dave's Killer Bread so I got some Thin Sliced good seed bread. I have some sprouts that need used so an open faced sandwich there would be delicious.
It's going to take a while but hopefully if I can behave, I'll be able to improve the BP, cholesterol, blood sugar, etc. If it results in some weight loss to ease the stress on the joints, even better.
Now just to sleep better because man, found out this morning that crappy sleep makes the glucose number suck. Ah well. Baby steps and stuff.
