What I Ate Yesterday – Day 79

Eat Meat!  Drink Water!  Get Rest!
(those are the words I live by)


Yesterday – Friday 2/3- Day 79

When I got up, I had my usual cup of hot water.

At 5:00pm, I ate some Surf and Turf!  How delish that was!  First, I cooked that bad ass New York Sirloin that you see above. Then, while that was resting, I cooked some fresh haddock. I cooked using a pat of butter and I did add a bit of salt and pepper.  So freaking GOOD!!!  I ate all the fish and about half of the steak.

NOTE:  You will notice that sometimes I eat my first meal very late in the day.  That’s because I was not hungry until then.  And I sometimes eat a full meal in the middle of the night.  That’s because I’m a night owl and I got hungry!  When I eat during the night, I’m not usually hungry until much later in the day the next day because I filled up, well, in the middle of the night!  In other words, I only eat when hungry.  I don’t care what time it is.  And every time I’m hungry, I eat.  And I eat as much as it takes to satisfy me. So easy!

At 10:30pm, I got hungry again and I cooked maybe 1.5 pounds of ground beef and I put all of it on my plate with some slices of deli turkey breast.  I ate everything!  I just realized that I had a bacon-free day! lol  That does not happen often.

Food that entered my mouth yesterday: New York Sirloin steak, haddock, ground beef, deli turkey, butter, salt, pepper, and lots of delicious water.

I will be talking about this new way of life often on my Youtube channel, so please subscribe and you won’t miss a thing!

This is the article that I stumbled upon by Kelly Hogan which got me immensely excited.   And this is Kelly’s blog.

PLEASE READ: Please remember that it’s MY CHOICE to eat the way I want. If you think this is unhealthy, know I’m not as concerned with physical health. I’m more concerned with my mental health. I’m on a mission to feel better mentally… without cravings!!! I’m willing to test this so you don’t have to! But what works for me might not work for you. I’m not doing this to lose weight. I’m doing this because I’m convinced that I’m overly sensitive to carbs and that I must stay away from them if there is any chance of me feeling better. I’m eating from the animal kingdom only, like the complete opposite of vegan. I know this upsets many, but I promise I won’t eat your pets. You are free to follow my progress/failures and you can even disagree with what I do. Just remember that I will get the last word because it’s my blog, my channel, my life! That’s the new me talking! (I think I’m growing balls! Let me look… yes, I see one starting to grow!)

Saturday Chat – BIG OOOPS!!! My Bead Prices Must Go Up! plus Youtube Earnings, Paper Clip Necklaces, More

chat-saturday

Happy Saturday!

Good morning!  It’s actually morning as I type this, not afternoon.  Woot woot!  I didn’t sleep much at all and just decided to give up and get up.  I’m up!

Last night, I uploaded my Youtube Earnings for January.  Such a sad month!  It’s like I’m climbing a hill and I keep falling down.  Climbing back up again can get old quick!  I’d rather be at the top already! Hahahaha!

Today, I hope to get the QAYG (quilt as you go) Tote Bag up for auction.  Stay tuned for that!  And I have some new Paper Clip Necklaces on eBay now too!

And speaking of auctions, man alive, I totally underestimated shipping charges for my beads!  For me to send them the safest way (like to not get crushed) they need to be sent at package rates.  This rate starts at $2.67!  And then there is the cost of my packing materials, like bubble wrap or boxes or whatever I feel is best.  So these Bead Auctions will be the last ones that ship for only $1.00 plus $.25 for additional.  And I won’t be able to start them at a penny anymore, except for once in awhile when I want to cause a flurry of excitement.  I have to remember that this is 2017 and shipping charges have gone way up since I started eBay in 2000.  If you want some super cheap beads, you better bid now because prices are going up!

And this Robe Auction ends today!  If you have your eye on it, don’t forget to bid!

Have a great Saturday!

Darlene
XOXO

Gluten-Free Valentine’s Day Chex Mix Recipe

I use affiliate links in some of my posts. I may earn a commission if you use my links. Full disclosure.

gluten free valentines day chex mix betty crocker darlene michaud recipe

NOTE: I get messages asking me why I post these types of recipes while I’m following a zero carb animal kingdom only food plan.  My answer is because I’m following ZC, but I bet you’re not! Just because I eat a certain way does not mean I have to limit myself to sharing only meat recipes. I’m not the carb police! lol

Be sure you check out what I eat everyday!!!


Gluten-Free Valentine’s Day Chex Mix Recipe

INGREDIENTS:

9 cups Rice Chex™ cereal (gluten free)
1 cup white vanilla baking chips
1/2 cup peanut butter
1/4 cup butter or margarine
3/4 cup powdered sugar
1/2 cup red, white and pink candy-coated chocolate candies
1/4 cup red or pink sprinkles

Darlene’s Tip: Fill decorative tins or bags and attach a Valentine’s Day card to give as a gift!  If you don’t mind gluten, you can totally use regular Chex cereal or even store brand. If you are aiming for gluten-free, always read the info on all ingredients.

DIRECTIONS:

Step 1: In large bowl, place cereal. In small microwavable bowl, microwave baking chips, peanut butter and butter uncovered on High 1 minute to 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds, until melted and smooth. Pour peanut butter mixture over cereal, stirring until evenly coated.

Step 2:  Place 1/2 of the cereal mixture in 1-gallon food-storage plastic bag. Add powdered sugar. Seal bag; shake until well coated. Spread on waxed paper or foil to cool, about 15 minutes.

Step 3:  Meanwhile, stir candies and sprinkles into remaining cereal mixture. Spread on waxed paper or foil to cool, about 15 minutes.

Step 4: In serving bowl, mix both cereal mixtures. Store in airtight container.

Yesterday – Thursday 2/2 – Day 78

When I got up, I had hot water.  Love my morning cup of un-joe!

At 2:30pm, I ate what you see in the plate above, and I ate all of it.  The meats are listed below.  It was delish!

At 10:00pm, I cooked up a bunch of slices of meat and devoured a plateful with a side of 3 or 4 slices of deli turkey.  So yummers!  That was it for me for the day!

Food that entered my mouth yesterday: beef sliced, ground beef, bacon, chicken, deli turkey and lots of delicious water.

Friday Chat – Tote Bag Tutorial, Auctions Ending, Sandy Pro Valentine Craft!

chat-friday

TGIF!

Today is Friday and I have lots to do!  I want to get some phone calls made (hate that with a passion) and also want to spend some time with Sandy (love that with a passion).  My plan is to use my visit with Sandy as an incentive to make the calls I need to make.  If I get the calls done, then I can have some girl time!

Did you see the auctions I uploaded last night?  I took the Quilt As You Go panels I made from the QAYG tutorial and used them in a Tote Bag Tutorial!  I think it came out pretty nice!  I’ll be listing it on eBay soon.

Speaking of eBay, I have 3 auctions ending tonight, my Doodle Beads, these Other Beads, and this Tote Bag!  Be sure you check them out!

Did I mention how happy I am to be in February?  I am!  I know we can still get hit with lots of snow in Feb and even in March, but when it’s February, I can start to see the end of the tunnel.  So excited for no snow and ice in my driveway!

Other than girl time with Sandy, not really sure what I’d like to record today.  It looks like Storytime is winning in the Poll, so maybe I can do that tonight.  And I’d also like to get the Youtube Earnings video done too.  So that’s the plan!

And speaking of Sandy Pro, please check out her latest video!  It’s a Valentine’s Day Craft!

Have a great Friday!

Darlene
XOXO
