Day 12

Last night we prepared food together.  My son Jared was the presenter showing how to cut an avocado, an easy way to cut a pepper so that the stem and seeds are intact.  That was new to me I didn’t know how to do the pepper. We also discussed that by cutting a vegetable in the direction that it grows you maintain more water in the vegetable and more nutrients and enzymes.  It also slows the process of decay down if most of the water and the cells of the fruit or vegetable are still intact. Our dinner consisted of nori rolls, with avocado, beets, carrots, asparagus, cucumber, and red peppers. We also prepared a spinach salad with jicama and mushrooms,  and lastly we had turkey breast from Duerkson turkey farm in Mancelona.  The turkey is grass feed and locally processed right on the farm.  It was so tender, my husband Mike slow roasted it for 1.5 hours.  We had just to of the members that were not thrilled with the nori rolls. Now nori comes from seaweed. which is pressed into a sheet that you roll around vegetables, and rice, and meat if you choose.  I love them and they are very filling.  Our total meal last night approximately 450 calories.  200 for the nori roll 50 for our salad, and 200 for the turkey not bad not bad.

There was no workout for me took Friday as a day of rest.  Saturday will be another story.  I need to hit it all hard this weekend the scales are fast approaching Monday will be here and the end of our second week.

Till tomorrow keep moving.
