Hi, we are having a busy day, and I was hoping Petra was going to make a post about what she calls her science experiment! No not me, even though sometimes I wonder? It has to do with managing 70+ horses for 4 years. I think she will get to it tomorrow, so look forward to it! It will be marvelous! I promise.
Ok, so back to today. I thought since it is bussy and I don't have something 100% prepared, I would give you a topical days menu for me, and it might inspire you in some way or not lol, but its better than nothing right? Please consult a doctor or nutritionist before making any changes to your diet. I am neither and just sharing what works for me, what you do is your choice.
I get up and have a vanilla organic yogurt and two glass's of water. feed the dog and put him out, start the laundry,bring leo back in, exercise, facebook. By then Emma Grace is ready to get up, so I get her some milk and give her a few minutes to stretch. I put on some water to boil and when it has begun boiling I add two eggs.Then get Emma Grace and put her in her chair. We share a banana and each have a small glass of apple juice.When the eggs are ready I peal them and we share the whites. I have a very small drink- 3 ounces of coffee and 3 ounces of milk with one spoon of sugar and a glass of water.After breakfast we do the dishes, and then we might go for a walk or play for a bit.We mix in laundry , necessary phone calls, and other chores throughout the day as best we can.
Mid mourning snack is usually an apple or orange and some all natural cheese. There is usually roughly 3 hours between when we eat. Lunch varies of course, but a typical one would be a salad, with a small amount of chicken 3-5 ounces,.with balsamic vinaigrette.In the middle of the afternoon I might have some hummus and carrots or fresh broccoli.I usually give Emma Grace some of everything I am having chopped well enough she can eat it, but I do also give her some servings of healthy age appropriate Gerber foods,.as needed.
Diner is usually a portion the size of your palm of a protein ( fish, chicken ,beef,lamb ex. local and organic when possible) a vegetable as much as you want, but at-least a palm size portion, and fresh when possible, and a starch the palm size only! Petra and I split yams or have small serving of new potato's or corn ex.
In the evening we do not always have a desert, but we do have some sweet fruit and maybe some all natural cheese or nuts or a little serving of *potato chips*You have to be careful here! and get the ones that are cooked in Sunflower oil or something similar that is not too bad for you. (read the label) also not too many.
Well that's about it, for now. I hope this has helped you in some small way.
Sincerely,
John
***P.S. I usually exercise a second time in the PM and we do a variety of other things throughout the day. This is life at the moment, it changes, and I hope it will include more riding , teaching and other things- I can do to support my family again soon. Hopefully better than I have in the past.
