Right, today, after yesterdays visit to Diann, it's time for me to add in an "extra food".
It doesn't always have to be a nutritious snack that's eaten at a set time or whatever. It was also be, just say at dinner, adding veggies to the protein and carbohydrates that I have to take.
I didn't decide on veggies.. not just yet. Diann and Ma suggested I add a tablespoon of muesli to my yogurt in the morning. Seeing as though Diann is on holidays next week, I have 2 weeks without a session (OH MY GOD!!..panic, panic.. ah no.. I'll get through it..), and by the time I go to see her on the 25th of August, she wants me to have increased the amount to 2,5 tablespoons. This should be no problem at all.. Seeing as though muesli is my ALL TIME FAVORITE FOOD!!(this might seem sarcastic.. but I'm being serious).
I'll tell you about me and my "relationship" with muesli..
When I was in Australia, I did a lot boozing and partying and along with all this, comes frequent visits to fast-foods places and mid night overeating of kebabs and pizza.. Well, for the people I would drink and party with. I would only, on the odd occasion, have something and then it would only be a tiny portion.
Whenever I went on a "bender" or a "boozing session" of a week or two, I always felt bad and knew that I was abusing my body. This made me feel gross and fat and just awful. So I would go jogging in 40 degree heat and I would also feel the need to detox my body (even though I never cut out the alcohol). I got into my head that in order for me to detox, all I needed to eat was fruit, yogurt and... yes here it comes.. MUESLI..
These foods are what I would live for months, along with 3 liters of green tea a day, and the alcohol consumption stayed the same, but I'd only drink vodka and orange juice (which is where I got a lot of vitamins from as well) or beer without "no-carbs" (yes, they have it Oz.. not over here though.. what a shame!!!)
My "detox-program" (which wasn't really a program, it just became my lifestyle) would be: breakfast/lunch (combined into 1) a big bowl of muesli. For dinner a bowl of yogurt with fruit,nuts and some more muesli. If I ever felt like snacking.. it would be a muesli bar or some dried fruit. I lived according to my detox-program for months, so I was convinced that my body was CONSTANTLY being cleansed and detoxed which compensated for all the alcohol I was drinking and the occasional slice of pizza.
I am, therefore fixated with muesli. I still see it as a food that treats me well, and that I'm allowed to eat, and if I want, I'm allowed to stuff my face with it..
Whenever I have been having my protein and carbohydrates for dinner, just say 4 or 5 nights in a row, then I feel like I have been so good that I'm allowed to treat myself to have a delicious bowl of muesli for my dinner and I feel so good while I'm eating it, I savor every mouthful and have no feelings of guilt afterwards.
Isn't it strange that something as simple as muesli can have that effect on someone..
So, that added in as my extra, is not a problem at all. I should be able to have the 2,5 tablespoons within a few days..
Long live the Muesli!!!!
