My Organic Week, Day Two (Tuesday)

Organic Eggs = the BEST eggs! (Oh, and cheese too. Does this explain the $6 price tag? Probably not, but I secretly feel like a rockstar for eating pretty much

THE best cheese that money can buy. ;)

Yummy Greek salad anyone? Yes? Calories? I stopped counting at 400. :/

Today started off with a nice big bowl of oatmeal. I was a good girl today though and only used stevia to sweeten it this time. ;) I brought my lunch to work with me (yay!) and had another grilled chicken salad but this time I added Couscous. Whatever the heck that is, lol. I felt very mediterannean, lol. It was yummy! However since I did not bring enough food from home I did sneak a handful of non "O" chips. Note to self for next time! Once I got home at around 4:45 I was basically starving and had gotten off late so I THEN got to try out some good ol' free range, no hormnes added eggs!!! O to the M to the G...those were so good! Bordering on "cheese" good, lol! I added them to the nachos recipie I made up last night. Yummmm. I can't believe how tasty they were. This is all so very fun and insightful! I have met my caloric limit for today but in case I just can't go on I will have some rice-cereal that I make from the cakes. :D

So I did have more cereal, and a couple of non "O" cookies too, BUT with organic milk. :D P.S., The cookies made my stomach feel like lead. :/ You guessed it (Next time grab some cookies too!) ;P

P.S.S., I got a Magic Bullet for my Bday and I can't WAIT to start cooking with it! I got some O potatos so perhaps I can make some mashed taters tomorrow. :D Wishing I had bought some fruit now! ;P

P.S.S.S., So I TOTALLY forgot to mention the organic instant tea I have been drinking each day. It is like 90 calories per serving tho so that is alot for me since I normally drink Kool Aid sweetened with stevia and it is like 40 calories per serving. Were I to do this again I guess I could just get the kind you brew which requires not being lazy but is definatly cheaper, lol.

Until tomorrow, friends! :D

My Organic Week: Day One (Monday)

(Dinner Last Night--Almost too yummy for my diet, lol!)

(My Organic Groceries--Will it last me a week? Only time will tell...)

My Organic week: Day One (Monday)

Well, as I type I am smelling the aroma of my very first organic piece of chicken. :D I already had some yummy rice cereal and milk courtesy of some caramel rice cakes. It was great, and only 90 calories! :D

Grilled chicken salad was YUM! Especially the cheese!!! I don't think I've ever had better! I am not sure if I noticed a huge difference with the chicken taste but like I said, it was all delish. :) (Plus I will have all week do discover how the chicken is since I got like 8 thighs, lol.) I did use my regular balsamic dressing becasue I didn't think of that while I was at the store but I am sure it did not make a gigantic difference, lol. I will likely have oatmeal tonight and possibly hit up Kroger for some O-preserves. Just saying this is random but I really need a nap. Lol.

Definatly am loving the caramel rice cakes! I had four more via milk and cereal. They are gluten-free. I didn't see "organic" on the label but I know that a lot of people are going sans the gluten for many reasons so I thought I would throw that in there and see how it vibes with my system. I had some oatmeal too which was pretty yum. I did use a little regular butter and jam but like I said, I can get more during the week. ;) I have felt pretty okay and have been enjoying how easy it is to have my favorites. I made some nachos with organic tortilla chips and organic shredded cheese. It was SO GOOD! I have already decided that organic cheese is the best. It is like I'd never had cheese before until today. So rich and full of flavor...which brings me to another point about organic food, the one downside that I can think of other than it being more expensive is that it seems hard to find low-calorie things because a lot of diet items have been processed heavily in order to be that way (low-cal) so that is something I have had to watch because like I said, the food is SO GOOD! Now, right now I could definatly eat something sweet, but I am at my calorie limit for today so I am going to have a big glass of water and sleep hard because I never got my nap in, lol. Anywho I really hope I can get back to Whole Foods or Kroger soon so I can grab a few things I had forgotten. (BTW, as soon as I have two seconds I will dig for my recipt in my purse so I can remember how much everything all cost. It wasn't a lot though, and as the week progresses I can get a better grasp on how long it lasts, what things I eat more than others etc...) I am sharing my goods with the fam and already using up a bit more than I'd expected because it is that good! Oh, and it's uber healthy. ;D Until Tuesday my friends!!!
