I've just returned from an 8 day vacation at my mom's house in the Midwest. A small town in the Midwest where "organic" doesn't exist, not at the supermarket anyway. Overall, I did pretty well. I basically avoided processed foods and, specifically, processed carbs. I did deviate from the straight and narrow a couple times (pizza and ice-cream on the 4th of July, followed by a late night snack (i.e. binge) of many slices of bread). I found it hard to be enthusiastic about the mission when I was out of my normal routine. Still, I ate a lot of fruits and vegetables, and I went running three times. Spending time in the country and interacting with several talented gardeners (like my mom) and outright farmers has inspired me to try to grow some vegetables. I'll keep you apprised of my progress!
Now I'm back at home and back on track.
What did I do today to avoid diabetes (and the other big bads)?
-I ingested no wheat flour.
-I at organic canned black beans because they have lower sodium than non-organic.
-I ate a lot of blueberries.
-I worked in the garden for about an hour (clearing the plot and turning the soil - a tad strenuous).
