Hello T-Day friends. I have missed you!
I can't wait to catch up with all of you over at Elizabeth's Blog.
I am trying to eat and drink super healthy in January to see if I see a difference in any of my health issues or sluggishness. I gave up processed sugar, bread, pasta, fried anything, rice, crackers, alcohol, desserts, processed meats, frozen foods, etc. I also gave up peas and beans except for green beans. I have reduced the pains in my side, and I have more energy. I have also lost 6 pounds. I have blood work next Friday and that will tell the real story.
My drink today is POM. I have been drinking a little of this for about a week (a little because of the calories and cost). I really like the taste, and pomegranate is supposed to have some super powers. I mainly got it to add to smoothies, but I haven't done that yet. If you know anything good or bad about this juice let me know.
This one is stamped with a retired Close to My Heart image and water-colored. It was my aunt Joan's design idea, but I love how it came out.
This mug and marshmallows on this one is from a DRS Designs image (retired) and I sketched and painted the background.
All your cards are beautiful, Nancy. I especially love your watercolors ones. I guess I won’t be healthy, because I absolutely do not like pomegranate! Nice to see you at tea-Sharon
ReplyDeleteI´ve never heard of Pom, but chapeau on your change in diet!
ReplyDeleteAw, ALL your cards are wonderful! Happy belated T-Day, glad you are back, hugz
I was so glad to see your name in the links. It's good to "see" you here.
ReplyDeleteI've seen POM at the grocery store, but have never purchased it. Bought a pomegranate once, but I forgot about it and it went bad before I could use it.
I love all the cards you made. The cocoa card could be your ticket to T, too (grin). Thanks for sharing your drink and your amazing cards with us for T this week, dear Nancy.
Fabulous cards. I've been seeing ads on television for POM. When I was little, we used to get a fresh pomegranate around Thanksgiving. Fun to try to peel and eat the seeds. Messy, though. Thanks for the memory and Happy T Day
ReplyDeleteHi Nancy, thanks for your visit, nice to see you again and Happy New Year! I'm sure giving up all that stuff will make you feel better - it has too - as they say, you are what you eat! I'm plant-based but I do love bread so that can be my downfall. If I stop eating it I lose weight immediately, so I think you will too if you give up bread and pasta especially. I drink Pom juice in the morning as that is when it is supposed to benefit you most, to start the day that way. It is supposed to be good to treat high blood pressure. (also drinking beetroot juice in the morning but Pom is more palatable for people maybe). Do you know Dr Greger? He has some great books on healthy eating and nutrition, they are plant based but you don't have to go full vegan, but add more healthy options. Look for How not to Die, How not to Diet and How not to Age, and there are cookbooks too. Happy T Day!
ReplyDeleteoh no, I got an google error, hopefully my comment worked! I also forgot to say that I love your cards, especially the watercolour ones.
ReplyDeletepomegranate juice is my favourite, the only down side is the sugar :(
ReplyDeleteSo many beautiful cards, the simplicity of the blue sky and those little red birds is a stunner ♥
