When your preplan takes longer then the actual plan…..Just do it!
I decided to pull the trigger instead of trying to plan a perfect week that would involve no dinner dates or dinners with friends. Canceling is easier then planning the future. The irony of life.
Shopping at the farmers market became a delight to walk around and see the different kinds of produce. Also the extra brownie point would be the amount of women that shops at these markets. There are 2 motivations to my success in life, passion and women. When these 2 combined at the same time, everything seems easier.
Day 1
Kahuku corn with oragnic butter
Fresh Greens with mozzeralla olive oil
Chicken soaked with mozzeralla olive oil, hawaiian salt, fresh pepper, fresh thyme
Organic pasta with organic sauce (garlic)
Fresh Bread
The following days would find a challenge of finding Organic things to cook with and use at safeway. However as the days went on, finding that big O for Organic on products became easier. Also the local eggs (Ka lei Eggs) for breakfast became a routine.
Finding Local Moi at foodland was like finding gold for me. I steamed that bad boy in the oven and when I ate it on day 5 it was almost orgasmic.
The last day brought me to Whole foods. After spending time at the farmers market, safeway and foodland. I can now appreciate whole foods in a whole new way (no pun intended). I could pick up almost anything and walk in any aisle to find things to use and eat. Picking up Maui Rib Eye steak was another jack pot. I cooked it with Organic Butter, Hawaiian Salt, Garlic and Fresh Pepper. I grilled it, and ate with small smirk on my face that I actually pulled this week off.
I was not able to eat one vegetable and fruit everyday, however I still find this as a successful week because that fact that I used Organic Olive oil, fresh thyme and everything else that you wouldn’t think of you would use or need like organic pasta for one thing. It was a challenge in itself. Success comes in small steps and this was a big step in the right direction.
I will forever be changed by this experience. I now crave fresh produce and local meats and of course fish. Just finding the right budget and ways to save is the new quest. Saving money at the farmers markets gives me extra money to buy local (eggs and meats) So it almost evens out. And having a healthy lifestyle is, well to put it simply, is priceless!
