Low pro food / cooking, That's my PKU life, Weight loss

January 7th 2013

Well I feel like I have had some accomplishments today. I mailed in 2 blood dots over the weekend, and began tracking my food again. Made up my note book and am making an effort to just drink my p.ade and mte. 

Today however I woke up to fresh snow and it was really coming down. It was just to perfect for a pancake breakfast. so much for calorie counting ! But mmm gingerbread pancakes are my new sweet addiction that my sister in law introduced me to over christmas. 

I spent the morning working on PKU awareness on both my twitter account and my facebook fan page. I posted all the links I could find for other PKU blogs to help promote all my fellow bloggers, I posted information about food and the up and coming BC PKU DAY. I cant wait and am greatly looking forward to it. There is a great line up of guest speakers this year and i love going to these events for the social aspect. Meeting people face to face, sharing stories and getting to know the community and the support that is out there. 

I ordered some new low protein foods today finally. about 200 dollars worth. I ordered 2 boxes of aprotein biscotti cookies, 5 aprotein ditalini, 5 aproten riatini, 4 wheatstarche baking mixes, 1 dietary specailties mac & Cheese, 1 wel plan baking mix and a special order of CBF short grain rice.  the rice is not included in the over all price and has to be special ordered so will take 2 weeks. 

Just before lunch I was getting really hungry again and trying to figure out what to make when I got a special deliveray in the mail, well 2 actually, one from cambrooke foods and one from my friend Nicole pallone. Cambrooke foods sent me new samples of there products swirl and flavoured bettermilk. I was so excited to try the bettermilk but was deeply dissapointed. It was way to strong for me and just not a fan. I have never been able to handle that synsatized fake strawberry flavouring. Not sure if its to sweet or what it is. But it actually makes me sick. So now I am scared to try the orange.  Have not tried the swirl yet. it is carmel flavour and can be a pudding or a formula depending how much liquid you add. Kind of excited to give it a try. 

Nicole sent me a pkg of Spanish rice made by dietary specalities and that is what I had for lunch. It was really good. Next time I am going to add more vegtables to it though. 

so other than that not alot going on.Cole is home from work early do to the snow knocking out the power at his job site so hopefully we can go for a walk later. I am really tired again. still not sleeping well.  hopefully wil get up some motivation to do some baking tonight or tomorrow. 

 

well thats all for now, thanks for following!

  1. When you try the orange it is important to think of orange sherbet while you are drinking it. That was when I fell in love with the flavor. Before I never thought of it but I read of others thinking it tasted that way and I drank it again it did. Also it needs to be shaken a lot! It will be better . I have 2 cases. One of each flavor ! Now I drink it just about every day. It has changed my life. Now I can travel and have BetterMilk ! So excited, before I had to take my other formula and the effect of having to go off it for those days was awful.

  2. I like it mostly because I can drink it straight without mixing it in smoothie form. This I’d big for me because the plain is higher in soy content and I am sensitive to soy. I dread the day my body moves from moving from sensitive to allergic. I’ve seen it happen with way too many things. There are way too many Lo pro products with soy in them for this to happen.
