Well, here we are again blogosphere! Every time I start a blog I have troubles keeping up with it. WE SHALL PREVAIL! ...Hopefully :)
This time around I simply plan to keep a food log and try to work on my goals to lose weight and fix my tummy issues. My dietitian has suggested I try to stick to only eliminating FODMAP vegetables for the moment and we will see if that resolves any problems. If not, we will go on to the next item. She has also suggested that I add snacks to between my meals and work on lessening some of my more fat-heavy meals as well as focus more on keeping my veggies to 70-90% of my plate. So my main goals for this week will be to remember to eat my healthier breakfast, eat snacks, and avoid FODMAP veggies. I really feel the loss of onions, because they were my main vegetable for cooking. I also need to focus on eating at home more often (I eat out too much). I managed 4 days this week, so I'm aiming for 6-7 this week.
I'm about to go grocery shopping, so here is my PLANNED menu for this week:
Meals:
Veggie Stir Fry
Chili (I'm making a huge pot of fodmap-friendly chili)
Stuffed Burgers (for date night - Not FODMAP friendly)
Overnight Oats
Snacks:
Grapes
Nuts
Seasonal Mandarin Oranges (The ones with the stem and leaf on them)
That's about it. Why so little? I only cook for one person and I don't have a lot of fridge or cupboard space (I rent a room). Plus... money. With Christmas around the corner I'm stressed about finances.
WEEK OF 12/7 - 12/13 GOALS:
Avoid FODMAP veggies
Increase veggies on plate
Find doctor & make appointment
Eat breakfast & snacks
To cook on Sunday: Overnight oats & Chili
