Can I Get a Smoothie Please?!

Hello everyone! Can I get a smoothie please? This is my my new morning and anytime of the day drink. Right now I make sure to have myself a smoothie in the morning, before I eat my first meal of the day. Once again, my smoothie choices are directly influenced by what my body needs. So I've decided to use Berries of all kinds and Pineapple as my fruit of choice for my smoothies.  I'm going to do more research and find myself a good veggie smoothie as well. I want healthy but tasty too! 

My smoothie can consist of Strawberries, Blueberries, Blackberries, Cranberries, and Raspberries. Get the picture? They're all kidney friendly as well as the Pineapple. My Smoothie usually consists of Organic Coconut Milk that's low in sodium and potassium two enemies of my damaged kidneys. I use unsweetened coconut milk and unsweetened vanilla almond milk no more than a cup of one or the other. Yes I've done my research and I avoid some chemicals found it Almond milk that are not good for consumption. I keep my smoothie pretty healthy and low calorie as well. I have to count those calories!  I also use a bit of sweetener as well, yeah I know that's controversial as well.

Until next time, keep going on your journey and stay encouraged. You Got This! Never Give Up Never Quit!

My First Meal of the Day

Hello everyone! I thought I'd share a first meal of the day with you. I usually eat my first meal of the day no earlier than 11 am. It all depends on my schedule and what I have to do that day. I have eaten my first meal some days like yesterday, after 5pm. Yesterday I had one meal and earlier that afternoon I ate a 100 calorie bag of dusted dark chocolate almonds. This meal is from weeks ago. I decided to take a photo of this meal so I could write this post.  This day I ate breakfast for my first meal. This breakfast consists of Egg Beaters and Baby Spinach, if I want to add cheese. I prefer Follow Your Heart Vegan Gouda Cheese Slices. The toast is White Smart Carb bread and it's covered with an half of a Avocado. I consider this a fairly healthy, low calorie and low sodium meal. It's quite tasty as well. I'm not going to put all the numbers in. I just wanted to share a simple meal that I eat sometimes. If I'm home I love to eat at least one salad a day, usually fo...

My 2025 Goal is Onederland

Hello everyone, It's been a while since my last post. So much has happened in my life. There have been so many unexpected occurrences, I find my daily peace, joy and hope in Jesus Christ. I hope all is well with each and every one of you! My main goal this year for my weight loss is to finally leave the 200's. Yes, no more mid to low 200's it's time to make it to Onederland. What is onederland you ask?  Onderland is a term used in the weight loss community to signify reaching a weight below 200 pounds (one hundred pounds). It is a celebratory milestone for individuals who have achieved significant weight loss. The scale is not my friend. I have disliked stepping on the scale my entire weight loss journey. So my first weigh in for this year will probably be the end of June because it is the 6th month of the year. I will step on the scale just to check my progress. I need to see how close to my goal I am. I believe I can meet this goal by December 31, 2025 I will firmly b...

Salad Anyone?

 Hello everyone! Salad has become a major part of my diet. I endeavor to eat a salad everyday if my schedule allows. Salads are wonderful and can be customized to your health needs. I choose vegetables that are good for helping to keep a healthy blood pressure level and for the kidneys. I’m 60 years old and maintaining a healthy diet is important to maintain a healthy body as well. In my latter years I don’t want to depend on medications and doctors. The issues I have with my kidneys was caused by the medication I took for years. That medication had a major lawsuit and is discontinued. If only I’d known that years ago. I followed the doctor’s instructions and now I have stage 3 kidney disease. I was taking a medication daily that was damaging my kidneys and I had no clue. So many medicines cause other medical issues and damage other organs in the body. I truly prefer using fruit and vegetables to help heal and keep the body healthy. The salad above contained many vegetables. My new...
