Day 8 - I did not cheat at all, today. I managed to find the energy I needed to clean the whole house, too. Not to mention caring for the kids. We made spaghetti squash and meat sauce for supper. Meals are getting really creative... the kids loved it. One squash was not enough for us. We'll need a larger one next time. Breakfast is still the hardest for me... I'm used to milk and toast in my breakfasts. I have no more joint pain. I still can't wait till this is over. I did make another green smoothie today... we used up the last of our spinach, blueberries, red pepper, celery, and tomatoes today. Good thing I don't need them tomorrow... although a shopping trip is soon needed.
Day 9 - Today I caved and had a little bit of dark chocolate... the 85% cocoa butter kind. Still cheating, but it's not like eating a chocolate bar, right? Lunch today was fried canned tuna with leftover millet and a green salad. I miss ranch dressing. Olive oil is great and all... but really, I'm a ranch girl. I did enjoy my green smoothie again today. I hope it will last me until Friday. Doubt it will... but I can hope. We made some interesting things for supper today, too. Baked leaks and green beans... ginger beef, and regular old rice. I kinda wanted to fry up an egg in there, but I think it should be fine as usual rice. I guess I'm getting soy sauce today, which is also a 'no no'. But whatever... I really don't care right now. I was going to attempt to make it myself, but there are ingredients in it that I still can't have, so whatever. A little soy sauce isn't gonna kill me (especially since it's one day of 12, and only one meal, and only a little bit)... although since hubby made the ginger beef... he still added the sugar. Only 1/3rd of the sugar, but there's sugar in there. I suppose getting maybe 2tsp of sugar this entire day isn't too bad though... right? Yeah... I'm not doing so well with the whole 'food' thing lately. Cheating? Why not?! When did I get so... lax? I was doing so well in the beginning... and now I'm justifying things. Shouldn't have had those chocolate almonds on Sunday... I blame them. Yup, it's all their fault (although... I was the one who ate them... but still... not my fault, haha). The amount of stuff I've been getting done lately is great! Hopefully I will be able to keep it up this week... I need to have my belly dance costumes done for Saturday since we have a recital, and I need to get a bunch of stuff ready for later this month, too. Lots of stuff.
Did I mention that popcorn and smoothies are my friends right now?
