Marian krogh 10/22/2017 1:29 AMI've found it really hard to complete the daily food challenges I set myself. I challenged myself to eat one meal a day with all organic ingredients and two meals a day without processed foods. There's not been a single day where I've managed to complete both of these. Partly because I have already at home a lot of food and to go out and buy organic food instead of eating the food I already have seems in a way counter-productive. Secondly, while I really don't eat much processed food it's really tough to avoid not having any at all. Today for dinner I made rice paper wraps with vegetables, but then I had a sauce which was processed. I've definitely become more aware of what I'm eating, where it's come from and what processes it's been through. -
Marian krogh 10/15/2017 12:38 AMToday is the first day of the challenge that I didn't "eat all my meals without distractions" I watched TV while I ate dinner. Pretty good though so far and I'm enjoying the challenge. Normally I'm really busy and so look at meal times as an ideal way to multi-task and kill two birds with one stone. I think this will become something I do often after this challenge is up.
