Forks Over Knives: Day 3 and 4

The past two days have been busy! After watching Addison yesterday, Jesse's parents took us out for our birthdays to a Japanese restaurant. I did the best that I could even with eating out! 


Day 3: Wednesday
Breakfast: Tofu Scramble with Hash browns and Veggies
                   Banana
Lunch: Vegetable and Brown rice Bowl
             Cup of Papaya
Dinner: (Japanese Steakhouse) Brown rice with mixed vegetables


Today, I went and saw my primary doctor to talk about the Forks Over Knives lifestyle and also have my blood work drawn so we know what my numbers are starting out and then we will recheck everything in 3 months. My end goal is to get off of my cholesterol and diabetic medications. I also got a new blood sugar meter so I will be able to keep a close eye on my blood sugars and send them in to her every 2 weeks to be sure my sugar levels aren't too low. 


Day 4: Thursday
Breakfast: Apples ( I had to fast for my lab work and then had some errands to run, so that held me over until lunch,)
Lunch: Leftovers; 1 cup of Moroccan bean stew with sweet potatoes and kale and 1 cup of roasted eggplant, tomatoes and onions over quinoa
Afternoon snack: 1 cup of cantaloupe
Dinner: Portobello Steak, yucca with mojo and a side salad

Bedtime Snack: 1 cup of watermelon 


I am feeling really good and have to say I have not had to take any acid reflux medicine since I began eating this way!
