DAILY RECAP
I still lost 2lb even though I deviated from the plan and ate a steak. TERRIFIC! I can't imagine how much I could have lost if I hadn't gobbled that steak. Though I did lose weight, I am still repeating the first day. I want to give myself the best chance possible. I forget to go out and get my detox tea again, but I am taking my probiotic daily and drinking all the water.
I enjoyed breakfast yesterday, but today, I made a few changes that made a huge difference. I did not combine the components of breakfast. I ate the flax granola with cranberries dry, taking sips of coconut milk and nibbling at blueberries. It was a great taste and texture experience. Ollie tried my cereal and liked it so he has a little mixed in with his.
We read a few books, played with his number blocks...and then woke daddy up around 1pm so mommy could take a nap. Usually I need a solid 1-2 hours to make up for the 3-5 hours I missed out on overnight. BUT I only slept for 20mins and woke up alert and ready for coffee! Wait, scratch that...ready for English Breakfast Tea! I hung out with my guys Adam, Ollie, the roommate Jon and the dog Booga before the big boys ran off to work.
Yesterday I felt that Lunch was bland..so today I went CRAZY with the spices. So much better! Ollie wasn't interested in sharing today, so I made heated up some chicken and rice soup from the deep freeze. We had our lunch together picnic style on the floor.
After Lunch, we watched Little Einsteins as I rocked him to sleep. As soon as he was out, I moved him to bed and went to work. I always clean like mad as soon as he take that first nap. Three boys, a dog and a cat make a big mess daily. When I was done, I got online to research the right online college. I want to finish my Bachelors in Health and Wellness..so I can start the Masters of Montessori Education at Loyola. Ollie will start Montessori next year and I hope to return to my assistant teacher role. when I return, I want to be working towards being a head teacher rather than the Bilingual Directors Assistant. I have a lot of work ahead of me!
Dinner was just as good reheated as it was fresh. I anticipated the hunger I would feel so I ate more roughage today.
After Dinner, Ollie and I took a bath and got in our pjams. We read a story or too and played 'chase me' in the house, complete with zombie growls. After playtime we picked up our mess and I did dishes while Ollie practiced his alphabet with his Leapfrog fridge magnet set. We settled down for the night. Now, we're listening to music while I blog and he plays with Mega Bloks.
I am vowing not to have any hiccups tonight. I'm on my last cup of tea and then I'm cut off from liquid until tomorrow.
See you tomorrow!
