I had a dream…

Healthy Eating

I have to tell you all about my dream last night.  It takes the cake (no pun intended).  But first let me give you some back story.

Three weeks ago the hubby agreed to try Paleo again with me.  This was right after Thanksgiving, naturally, and we were ready to detox a bit.  I poured over borrowed books and the Internet to prepare ourselves, writing down meals and making shopping lists.  But after 3 weeks of doing this (yay us!), forget all the info out there.  I think I can sum up Paleo in two sentences.  Eat meat, seafood, fresh fruits, fresh vegetables and nuts.   Do not eat dairy, grains, sugars, and legumes (beans and peanuts).

And there you have it!  🙂

Seriously though, that pretty much sums it up, the idea being to detox our bodies of allergens and processed foods.  So what did we eat?

Breakfast:  paleo-friendly muffins (made with almond flour instead of wheat flour), bacon, sausage, sweet potatoes or acorn squash, fruit smoothies, avocado smoothies (with almond milk)

Lunch:  Dinner leftovers, sweet potatoes, salads with tuna or salmon or chicken

Dinner:  Meat or fish with a side of vegetables or two

Snack:  almonds, muffins, Lara bars (all natural fruit and nut bars), fresh fruit

It’s really become a pretty simple “diet” to follow after my last epic fail.  I think it helps to have the hubby on board.

But I have faltered.  It’s been very secretive actually.  He didn’t know about it.  But there’s these things called holiday cookies and holiday chocolates that are sitting around my house.  I.  Can’t.  Resist.  It’s horrible.  I really get to the point where I’m like “screw it”…I want a cookie so I’m going to eat a cookie.  I’m talking 2 or 3 at a time, like Cookie Monster.  But the guilt was starting to settle in.

So last night I had this dream.  I was sitting next to the hubby and he was looking at me with disappointment as I pigged out on…wait for it….a block of cream cheese covered in vanilla pudding!  What the….???  I mean, if that’s not my conscious speaking loud and clear to me, I don’t know what is!  Did you know I woke up and immediately told him about my dream and WHY I had that dream?  I could never be a secret spy, that’s for sure.

Today I had a couple Hershey kisses and will be enjoying food and cocktails at the hubby’s company get-together.  What could tonight’s dreams possibly bring?

I was telling some friends last night about my usu I was telling some friends last night about my usual  breakfast, why I make it every day (makes meal tracking easier) and how I boost the protein (1-2 egg whites depending on my mood), and it inspired me to make a reel. 🤷🏻‍♀️
✅Add steel cut quick oats & water, measured based on package directions, to a large bowl big enough to allow for expansion during cooking (I’ve made a very messy mistake before!)
✅Add 1 or 2 egg whites
✅Whisk to break up the egg whites, unless you REALLY like large chunks of eggs in your oatmeal 😬
✅Add a dash of salt, optional
✅Microwave according to directions
✅Top with a sprinkle of cinnamon and a splash of maple syrup
Other add-ins: berries, bananas, honey, protein powder

Made with 2 egg whites, this packs a ~13.5g protein punch. When I combine with my collagen protein powder in my coffee, I’m at ~30g protein for breakfast! 💪🏼

I use @myfitnesspal to track so I can either pre-fill my breakfast all week. Or just copy from day to day. Easy peasy!

So I did this thing. I became a Beautycounter Bran So I did this thing. I became a Beautycounter Brand Advocate. Mainly I did it because I was already finding a lot of products I liked, and becoming a consultant offered some perks to support my habit! 🤷🏻‍♀️ But also the more I dug into the brand, the more I realized how in line it was with the lifestyle I’m trying to live. The clean ratings for the Beautycounter line is always high (check out EWG) so I feel good about using it on my skin. BUT I’m not a salesperson, I don’t ever want my friends to feel pressured to buy anything I’m “selling”, and I really don’t have time to wear another hat in my life 😜. So if you happen to discover the line on your own and are interested in buying a product or 2 to try, send me a message or go to my page at beautycounter.com/angelafuentes. But otherwise, my plan is to not do much promoting. I’ll just be here if you need me ☺️.

Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🪅 Here’s the mocktail mi Happy Cinco de Mayo! 🪅 Here’s the mocktail mix I made tonight to boost my festive taco dinner. 🌮 The mix definitely needs a little tartness, so don’t forget the splash of lime juice and club soda in each glass before serving. Salud! 🪅

Even though skin cancer is the most common cancer Even though skin cancer is the most common cancer in the U.S., it is also one of the most preventable. Take these steps to lower your risk:
☀️Seek shade, especially during the hours of 10am-4pm when the sun is the strongest.
☀️Use physical barriers to protect your skin (clothing, hats, umbrellas, sunglasses).
☀️Use a broad-spectrum sunscreen, SPF 15 or more, every day. Apply 1 ounce to your entire body 30 minutes before going outside, and reapply every 2 hours or after swimming or sweating.
☀️Swipe to see 2 of my favorite sunscreen brands, @supergoop and @beautycounter . Supergoop has an EWG rating of 2 ✅ and Beautycounter is EWG Verified (highest rating)✅. 

☀️Stay healthy! 🕶️
