To think about for today...
Do you have foods that you just have to give up or you can't have in the house? I keep hearing Oprah say--I am losing weight and I eat bread everyday--so do you think realistically that every food fits into a healthy diet/ weight loss plan?

Welcome tntfamily78! Please introduce yourself.
I do have foods I have to give up. I know it is counter to some of the latest trends--count everything and there is not bad food....but I can't handle the bad carbs. And the more I eat the more I eat. If they are in the house I have to either throw them out or eat it all. Is it an addiction--who knows? When I am exercising regularly and eating well I have found that I can have small amounts--but not in the house. The biggest culprits: potato chips (actually most chips and crackers), french fries, baked sweets and candy. That's a lot to avoid! But really--where is the nutritional value in any of those things that I listed? Maybe a few vitamins in french fries.To think about for today...

I am attempting a kick start with a few days of eating vegan, very little processed, and very little grains. We'll see. When I was hungry yesterday I had fruit. Last night for dinner we had sweet potato noodles (hand cut) with peppers, garlic, spinach and a cashew cream sauce with sriracha sauce. Tonight I am thinking veggie tacos with cashew cream instead of cheese/sour cream. Still on the fence as to whether to do lettuce wraps or make homemade corn tortillas. The tortillas have two ingredients--masa and water, but it a processed grain...
And I ordered a vegetable spiralizer on Amazon. We really like zucchini noodles and it will help with making other veggie noodles as well!
@Rose&Mike Let me know how the spiralizer goes. I want one!

It's Friday! What did you do 'right' this week? And I know everybody has at least one thing (even me). And what do you need to work on for next week?
