the surprises that have surfaced since I have changed my eating habits from trash to healthy is really starting to become apparent.  No scales, no blood pressure readings  but my energy levels have gone through the roof, I can keep up (well almost) with my 2 yr old grandson.  I no longer HAVE TO HAVE my afternoon nap.  Now I am not going to lie and tell you that I don't on occasion nap, it's just that I don't NEED to take one. 

Had poached salmon with cucumber dill sauce with steamed asparagus and edamame salad.  The dill sauce I made is awesome and I am crazy about the salad.  I have also become a fan of Greek yogurt.  The plain yogurt that I am familiar with never set my taste buds on fire but the Greek yogurt has more of a sour cream feel and doesn't have the bite that regular plain yogurt has.

The dill sauce is easy half low fat sour cream/half low fat or not fat greek yogurt, a peeled, seeded and finely chopped cucumber (you will have to decide how much is enough, I just do it until it looks right.  a teaspoon or two of fresh or dried dill weed again just add until it tastes right.  A dash or two of lemon juice, mix well anc chill over night.  I find I like it on things other than salmon, like as a dip for carrots or celery.  You get the idea.

Now I have enough asp. and salmon to put in my eggs tomorrow.  I will saute some mushrooms and add a little bleau cheese and I will be good to go.

Without the blood sugar spikes that I had when I was on my high carb/junky diet, I am seldom hunger and when I do get a taste for something sweet, fruit, esp melons or berries will do the trick.  Tonight I had a small gelatto cone (no I didn't bring home th egelato my son in law did) and it was all I needed.  Two months ago, I would have eaten all the cone and all the gelato. Hmmmm, things are a changing.
