My First Step

The first thing Paleena noticed about my diet was that I was not eating enough vegetables. She wants me to really add a lot of greens into my food. She also wants me to try only eating 3 meals a day without snacks. Eat as much as I need to to get me to the next meal. She said that adding a lot of greens is key to do this. I am very nervous for this because I pretty much eat through out the day. I also have a 7 week old baby that I am breastfeeding. I am willing to try it. Today at the store I bought kale, arugula, collards, wheat grass, broccoli, and spinach. I plan on adding these to my smoothies and making salads with them. I have postpartum depression and this will help with that. I am also adding flax seed, walnuts, and I am willing to try salmon which all of these are high in omega 3's and are supposed to help with depression. I am also doing the yoga pose with my legs up the wall to help with depression. I am also going to be trying some new recipes from Integrative nutrition to add more whole grains like quinoa. It is a DVD I watch from Paleena that talks about eating whole foods.
