Day Ten: About Half Way

I feel like at this point I'm over the whole "missing food" deal. I know what I can and cannot have and I make sure to have what I can have available to me. Commercials are still the devil, but as long as I try to avoid being around the actual food it's been fine.

The plus side to this elimination diet is that I was also able to shed the unwanted holiday pounds. I don't own a scale so I don't know the exact amount, but I can see it and tell in my clothes. Extra bonus!

I've also been having a better time breathing when it comes to running. Now I have been on a new inhaler so I can't tell for sure what has been the cause, but either way I'm happy!

I also have a few meal ideas to share. Today I made crock pot chili which is a favorite. While I didn't have corn bread, sour cream or cheese to go with it, it is still a satisfying meal. I use ground turkey, sautéed onion, garlic and green pepper, add two cans of beans (I did black and kidney), tomatoes (all I could find were strained tomatoes in a jar, but they worked fine!) and spices of your choice. I used chili powder, cayenne, paprika salt and pepper. Set for about 5 hours and you're done!

Lastly, a simple lunch idea. Boars Head turkey is gluten free and have a list of Feingold Food List approved meats. Feingold Association approves foods for people on sensitive diets. So all in all, turkey is a-okay.

Simple, yet good. Turkey, mustard and lettuce. And a few approved chips made with sunflower oil. 

And now onto the home stretch!
