Day Three

Yesterday (Day 2) was cray cray. So I didn't post. But yesterday was also a kind of an anomaly because while I followed the diet, I didn't have a whole lot of time to eat and became hungry because of it.

I managed the 30 in 30 yesterday with 3 scrambled eggs and 3 slices of turkey bacon for breakfast.

Lunch fell apart because I wasn't as prepared with ingredients as a I thought. I think I had a tablespoon of crunchy peanut butter and 1/3 a bag of Brussels sprouts. Not fun nor recommended by me.

I biked a couple miles with the kids yesterday and did multiple other things so my body needed more sustenance than what I gave it. Headache and hunger pangs ensued.

Oh yeah, I had a handful of almonds after a mad dash to the store. They tided me over until dinner. (P.S. While nuts are indeed fine for the diet. It's very easy to go overboard. Don't go overboard.)

Dinner was much needed and yummy! Two roughly 4oz pieces of chicken, a big spinach salad, and a side of peas. (I inhale peas like oxygen, they're my favorite veggie up there with Brussels sprouts!)

Day Three

I weighed myself today just out of curiosity's sake because I felt lighter. Sure enough 158.6lbs says my scale. I expect it to go up just a touch as I eat "normal" today. Anyway, time for a visual.

That would be a picture of my breakfast this morning and let me tell you, that is a dinner plate, not a salad plate.

At the top of the plate is a sauteed mix of spinach and kale, going right, 3 eggs with ham, mushroom, green onions, topped with pico de gallo, and on the left, black beans, baby! So when I eat, I do NOT go hungry. If I am, I'm not eating enough or I'm not drinking enough water.

And speaking of H20, I drink about 32oz a meal. I drink more when I just wake up. Just being on day three of no sugar or carbs, I feel a difference mentally. My mind is clearer and my body has a little more energy.

Lunch is probably going to be a meat, salad and veggie, unless I feel adventurous and want to try a new carbless pizza recipe. And dinner will be a slow-carb friendly version of Shepard's Pie.

Ok, my children are plotting mutiny if I don't get off this blog. Until next time!
