I am very proud of myself that today marks not only the 7th successful day of my 'prioritising health' lifestyle change, but also my 2nd blog post in a week- I will be consistent...I will try to be consistent!
I hosted my first dinner party on Friday since being off the long list of things I am off at the moment, and it was interesting. I rushed around prepped, entertained, hosted and...didn't get around to eating anything myself, haha. I did plan to, I had even pre-cooked some foods, but once in the moment and the 13 guests had arrived, food was forgotten. So yes it can be inconvenient at times, especially when your guests question why you aren't eating the food you cooked for them...suspicious much (; All in all though, it was not a huge deal and Saturday morning saw me waking up and making myself a big breakfast of eggs, peppers and avocado to make up for it- yum!
One of the most interesting things about reading up on allergies/ toxins etc. and the 'things to avoid', is coming to the awareness of checking even the most 'seemingly harmless' products before tossing them into or onto my food. Things like good old Ina Paarman's spices, I'm a huge fan, but so many of the spices in the range (and most spice ranges for that matter, in fact IP's is probably the best) have added things like sugar, citric acid or wheat- the littlest things that makes me wonder why they're really necessary. I have decided to avoid a large quantity of the spices I used to use and am now on the journey of learning to season my food the 'real way' as opposed to chucking on the 'meat spice' or 'chicken spice', which has made it much easier in the past. I'm choosing to see it as all part of the adventure.
On that note off I go for some bouncing time right now- Carpe Diem!
