O.k., I am back. Since my trip to California, I've been on a roller coaster ride to catch up with my meal planning! Suffice to say, I have NOT been zoning since I left for my trip! Today, I grilled my chicken, steak and some turkey sausages. Tomorrow, I will cut up a bunch of fresh veggies and buy some fresh fruit. By Monday morning, I will be back on track. I am actually going back on the zone and I am teaming up with a girlfriend. We are going to eat the same menu for the next 30 days and track our progress together. It should be fun and the daily accountability will be very helpful as I wean myself off of insulin highs (yuck!)
This is my menu starting next week: (Basically, I'll eat the same thing every day, and I'll mix the meals up either by switching out the protein or type of fruit or type of meat. I will also use lots of fresh lime squeezed over the food and pepper and garlic to taste. I may also make some tuna or chicken salads towards the end of the week and use coconut milk and avocado instead of mayo)
