The Whole Treat

Hi friend, how are you doing today?  I have a wonderful treat to share with you, but this one does not require a recipe. It does however require a good knife and a bit of extra chopping time.  Wanna know what it is?

This!

My dinner tonight.

A few years ago, a friend of mine challenged me to eat whole.  No, I don't mean to eat the whole pizza.  (Although accepting that challenge would be fun and exciting.) Eating whole means eating our food as unprocessed as possible.  Basically eating what God has made.  I remember how hard it was that first month, but after some real dedication, I actually started to crave spinach salad.  I would drool with anticipation as I was chopping up my dinners.  I felt healthy and energetic!  But, I became pregnant and when the cravings came, the eating whole left.

If you have been following me on my other blog, cheriwilliamson.blogspot.com, you know that I have been trying to lose my pregnancy weight. Well, I have become frustrated with trying to eat the right amount of calories, the right amount of carbs and so on.  So, I have decided to go back to what God has created. Fruits, veggies, seeds, grains, and yes, fish and meats.  (God made meat too!)  It's going to be HARD, but worth it. 

So, here's my treat for tonight.  I'm excited about all the good foods I will be enjoying now that I have decided to eat whole. I will be posting recipes here too using whole foods.  Have you ever tried eating whole before?  What are your thoughts about it?

PS.  I am planning on adding a protein snack later.  :)  Can't forget the protein!!
