It has been nearly two years since Rico passed away and then shortly after, I became my best friend's love interest and we mesh so well.
But the update I have today is more about the daily commitment of making sure I do not over eat or stray far from the 'magic' formula diet I have been sticking to and mostly that is about not consuming any dairy products of traditional types of bread or enjoying pasta like I used to.
Mostly today, I cook our meals at home and most meals nowadays are summer salads served free of calorie rich dressings. We choose squeezed limes of lemons or oranges for dressing a salad.
But... for breakfast, we do a three-egg omelette with a wasa-bread cracked topped off with freshly ground almonds or roasted peanuts which gives us around 35-40 grams of protein to kick start our lives on the right note.
Souping is a great way to lessen caloric intake yet revs up our dietary liquid intake (water or water based soups) which also aids our digestion and meets hydration requirements.
Oh, and not overdoing exercise. We do weight lifting or add weights to our exercise routine and it helps to build and maintain muscle mass.
Be healthy, be happy and take good care until next time!
