Fritzy 22's Journal, 02 Jan 23

Day 1 on the anti inflammatory diet was challenging. Mostly because I didn't have much of the right food in the house. So it was boring. I miss coffee, I usually have 2 mugs. But the added sugar and half and half isn't allowed and without it, I don't like it. I'm not crazy about hot tea that is unsweetened but I can tolerate it. So I had 2 cups during the day. Still trying to do intermittent fasting so usually 2 meals and snacks. I put chicken that I had cooked in the wok on top of the baby spinach and added 2 tablespoons of chopped walnuts. Didn't use salad dressing so the spinach was boring. But the chicken was good. Today I may use a tablespoon or two of a reduced fat raspberry vinaigrette I found in the pantry. Not going to worry that it is a processed food. It is 2 tablespoons. And the 2 Granny Smith apples I have left after not needing them in the apple cake are really too sour to eat. They are so good in the cake though.

Hope to get to the grocery store today, just the little market in my community because the bigger stores are in an area that got over 9 inches of rain and may even get some snow. I'll stay away. Need avocados and some fruit for breakfasts. Not going to pay $5 for a cantaloupe though! Don't like it enough. May check out frozen fruit and buy some canned pineapple just to have on hand.

Update: I made it to the little grocery store. Was happy to find they had milk, so unusual on a Monday let alone after a holiday weekend. I will have a glass of non fat milk today. They also had pineapple spears! Never saw them at that store because. And fresh blackberries were on sale. 2 of my most favorite fruits. Bought some veggies for a stir fry tomorrow and a container of pineapple orange juice. I know people on low carb diets don't drink juice. But I do at times and right now I am going to have some. I can't drink just water and the hot tea without honey or sugar is so boring. I was thinking about apple cider and making it hot. But they only had apple juice and I'm not sure it would be the same.
