Time to check in. No wine for 90 days has been a challenge. I remember Wayne Dyer talking about giving up alcohol and how it was no big deal. When I talk about it, it feels silly that it has had such an impact. I have been feeling emotional flat and depressed or maybe sad is a better word. I have found ways to deal with all of it and it is getter better.
Excuse the shakiness, I need my AV guy!
I have been making a effort to cook delicious satisfying meals. Google the Barefoot Contessa, she has great recipes. I am hoping to shed a few pounds. I have been making Ina Garten’s roasted cashews and eating lots of them. Delicious and high in calories. It is all an adjustment.
This morning, I made low-glycemic grain free banana pancakes.
Start your day with a delicious nutritious breakfast!
I would love to hear from you. Have you struggled giving up alcohol, caffeine, sugar? Of course, we all have! Would you like to join me?
That is it for now!
Love,
Mary

Hi Andrea, THanks for the comment.Mix a banana,2 eggs, cinnamon, (optional, serving size protein powder, I used USANA Nutrimeal Free) Cook on griddle. I also sauteed pears and pecans in butter on griddle. I had the pancakes with a dollop of full fat plain organic yogurt and the pears and pecans.SO GOOD! I love the Nutrimeal Free so much I sell it. Here is the link. https://shop.usana.com/shop/cart/Categories?parentCat=1
Here is another good recipe. https://marykiningham.com/2014/11/27/delicious-high-protein-flax-and-oat-pancakes/
That will get you started.
I’m going to cut way back on whine. Haha, wine! And hopefully, I won’t whine! Cutting back on sugar. Moving more and praying my body doesn’t object with disc issues and tears. So if you consider a ‘cut back’ worthy, then I join you. Wine will be substituted with tea at least 4 days a week to start. No more chocolate. It hates me anyway and I pay dearly for eating it.
A cut back is great! Good job Yvonne!
