I'm not on a diet, I eat healthy.

I am caring for my 90-year old grandma for the next week, she needs 24 hour care so I realized I will be having a lot of time on my hands.  I want to make the best out of the situation so I have decided to make the the next week to work on my stretching, meditation, and exercising. I have the time, so why not? Plus I want to be healthy. Ever since starting this journey, I have gotten nothing but happier the healthier I have become. And since I obviously can't go running, I need to burn some energy some how to keep me relaxed and feeling good.

This morning we had some banana bread I made last night - Pinterest inspired of course.  I used whole wheat flour verse white flour. Regular white flour has been processed so many times that it truly has no nutrients left in them, along with all the chemicals used to process the flour really isn't that great for your body. So basically it's a waste to your body, so why even put it in? Yes, the flour is obviously different thats why you can easily train your body to start to like it.  For example, if it needs 2 cups flour, do 1 1/2 cups regular flour and 1/2 cup whole wheat flour, then next time do 1 cup regular flour and 1 cup whole wheat flour and so forth. Also, instead of using sugar and brown sugar like most recipes, I used honey and applesauce. Oh and we also had blueberries and some melon with our slice of bread, forgot to take a picture of that, oopsies!

Here's the blog for the recipe for the Banana Bread.

Mine obviously didn't come out as pretty as her picture, but it sure did come out just as delisous - and not dry at all!


Next, comes the fitness routines today. I will be working on abs, this routine I found on pinterest is amazing! Plus I love doing planks and bicycle crunches. She calls it the Itty Bitty Tummy Workout, how stinkin' cute is that name?! And I will be doing squats, lunges, and push ups through out the day.

Keep your good vibes going all day!
