150 Days of Freedom- Week 1

Today not only marks the end of our weekend but marks the end of the first 7 days of the150 days of freedom challenge. We celebrated this milestone by taking a seven mile walk through our town. The weather was cool and crisp, perfect for a family walk.

I can't belive how I feel after just 7 days! Below are a few things I have noticed:

• My sugar craving is nearly gone
• I stopped craving soda on day 5
• All digestive issues are gone
• I am sleeping better
• I feel less bloated, I actually feel lighter
• More energy

Amazing, right! I am also learning to read labels very, very closely. Wheat is in everything I enjoy eating. I  have decided to make everything we eat so that I can make sure there is no wheat in our food. Speaking of wheat, I am still struggling with not eating bread. I miss sandwiches! Lol. So, this morning, we had paleo breakfast sandwiches.

Ingredients:

1. 1/4 cup cashew flour, can also use almond flour
   
2. 1/4 teaspoon baking soda
3. 1 tablespoon coconut flour
4. 1/8 teaspoon sea salt
5. 1 egg
6. 1/2 tablespoon coconut oil
7. 2 tablespoon water 

Directions:

1. Mix all dry ingredients in a small bowl
2. Add wet ingredients and mix till blended
3. Grease a small round bowl
4. Add mixture to the bowl
5. Microwave for 2 min
6. Remove and slice in half
7. Toast until brown lightly brown

For the omelet, add any veggies you wish and cook. I chose mushrooms, spinach and green bell peppers.  This recipes serves one person. Just to give you heads up, these english muffins do not taste like store bought muffins. They are delicious and a great homemade alternative to bread.

Overall, I consider week 1 a success and I am looking forward to the next 7 days. I hope you guys had a successful beginning as well!

The food plan for next week is Muesli (I Love, love this stuff!), salads and chicken soup. Jalapeño poppers and celery with peanut butter for snacks.

My exercise plan: 10 minutes of Cross Fit, 1 mile walk/jog 3 days

My journey to truth continues with freedom from cravings.
