My Health Journey (Pt. 1)

I have had health issues since I was a child. My dad considered me fairly healthy, but I dealt with the "little things." For one, migraine headaches started when I was ten or eleven years old and quickly got to a point I was on prescriptions for them. In high school, I learned that many of my headaches were hormone-related, and that a good portion of them were triggered by foods. I started cutting out a few things, but my hormones still weren't balanced, so I was still getting headaches and having other problems. I needed something that was more sustainable. If you're like me, you need something you can stick to in order to make lasting changes. 

Meal Prep

Yesterday was baking day... I baked a quadruple batch of Wonderful White Blender Bread (Trim Healthy Table p. 242) to make two large loaves.

I am so thankful for this recipe, as it allowed me to fix a family comfort food today: grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup.

While there are other on-plan breads, this one is a Fuel Pull, which means it didn't cause a crossover that would slow down my weight loss. It is also gluten-free, which means I don't have to worry about my kids eating it. We are dealing with a lot right now, and it was nice to have one of my childhood staples as a comfort food.
