Spring is deff in the air here in Moncton even though it is a bit overcast- boy I wish I was feeling better to get out
Check out the new buds on the trees here:
Also before I left for Las Vegas, Mom and I purchased the hottest wheels on the planet:
I've been out on her once and boy is it ever a workout- a lot harder than I remember as a kid but it gave me new joy to know that I am doing myself and favour and taking one more car off the road which is nice especially with the price of gas
So today Im going to try to encourage you to do something I thought I would never try and especially enjoy. I was guilty for a long time of making my salads more like soups- I lived for the dressings on salads and the creamier the better. Salad dressings can add up to 100 calories per tablespoon which is nothing compared to what I would add to a salad. So when I was reading "Eat to Live" Dr Furhman suggested instead of dressing squeeze lemon or lime juice on your salad ( I thought Oh Brother kill me now). So I thought this man was crazy, no cheese, no croutons, no creamy salad dressings ( what about caesar salad?!?!?!) so I gave it a try. People of the universe I am asking you to just push your fears aside and try it- shockingly I actually enjoyed my salad and could taste the lovelies in it, plus it stayed really crunchy! I am encouraging you to do the same, save those 100 calories from your diet, I don't think you'll miss them! :)
Here is my salad from today full of berries and toasted almonds (OMG you need to get raw slivered almonds and to this at home- just put your oven to 400 and toast them lightly- game changer right there) and some craisins (which I know have some sugar involved but a girls gotta live a little)
Let me know if you try the no dressing salad and how you felt about it
Lots of love and encouragement
