I mix it with one chopped apple the other morning this morning i mixed it with mashed whole banana. When made correctly its not very grainy feeling and isnt Mushy like some instant oatmeal!

EATING CLEAN!

So after looking at my workout schedule and REALIZing that Im far far far away fromt he goal i had set its now time for me to make some major adjustments! menaing DIET time oh and for those who observe LENT this will also be useful!

Clean eating is not a new concept. At its most basic, clean eating is making the healthiest food choices possible, opting for fruits and vegetables, whole grains, and lean cuts of meat instead of processed and refined foods. To eat clean, there are a few easy principles to follow.

Clean Eating Principles
•Eating a mini-meal every two to three hours (5 to 6 small meals per day total) to keep blood sugar level and prevent hunger
•Combining lean proteins and complex carbs at every meal
•Avoiding all over-processed and refined foods (especially sugar, white rice, and white flour)
•Avoiding saturated and trans fat, instead consuming healthy fats
•Avoiding soda and other sugary juices and drinks
•Avoiding high-calorie, zero nutrient foods (i.e., junk food)
•Eating proper portion sizes
•Drinking at least 8 cups of water every day

IT's a LIFESTYLE CHANGE not a DIET


Oh just a mental reminder

Mississippi Damned Trailer



Based on true events and spanning between 1986 and 1998, Mississippi Damned follows three young African Americans in the rural south as they suffer through the devastating cycles of poverty, addiction and abuse.

Wanting to escape was the easy part. Taking place in 1986 and 1998 and based on a true story, three poor, Black kids in rural Mississippi reap the consequences of their family’s cycle of abuse, addiction, and violence. They independently struggle to escape their circumstances and must decide whether to confront what’s plagued their family for generations or succumb to the same crippling fate, forever damned in Mississippi. Bitterly honest and profoundly subtle, writer/director Tina Mabry successfully captures growing up in a world where possibilities and opportunities seem to die in the face of the suffocating reality of physical and sexual abuse, obsession, and a myriad of destructive compulsions.
