DAILY RECAP
I woke up after another night of struggling to fall asleep for 4-5hrs. I was woken by a hungry baby. After a brief nursing session, Ollie whined and grumped at me while I took care of morning necessities including weighing myself as required by The Plan. I discovered that my Liver Detox Tea never made it home from the grocery strore. I crossed my fingers and prepared English Breakfast Tea with lemon and honey instead. While my tea brewed, I slugged down the morning 160z of lemon water.
I put my breakfast together, Flax Granola, Blueberries & Coconut Milk. And then Ollies, Cheerios, Blueberries & Almond Milk. He prefers almond milk over cows milk. I've got one cool kid! Breakfast was enjoyable, the combination of textures was really appealing and satisfying. However, tomorrow I will NOT pour my coconut milk over my granola, as the last few bites got slimy. I will also eat my blueberries separately. Ollie tried my granola and wasn't really excited about it. This is actually nice, he won't be begging me for bites! After breakfast, I felt full and satisfied. I ended up falling asleep in our rocking chair with Ollie watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse.....the nap was awesome!
Lunch was a little bland, I blame that on my light spicing hand. What did I eat? Sauteed Broccoli, mixed greens with pumpkin seeds, 1/2 a pear and carrot ginger soup with sunflower seeds. The Carrot Ginger Soup is sweet, I'm not used to sweet soup. I only ate about a half cup. Tomorrow, I will definitely make use of the 20+ approved spices! I am full, not really experiencing any toxic hunger symptoms or cravings. The highlight of lunch...the pear &pumpkin seeds. :)
Snack timing was perfect. Right between Lunch and Dinner, I though I would die I was so hungry! I wanted to eat my sons almonds and fruit sooooooo badly. Once I had a cup of peppermint tea and a medium Fuji apple, I felt so much better. It held me over until dinner and I didn't count the minutes once!
Ahh, dinner. Sauteed Kale with Veggies and Spicy Coco Sauce, as wells as Beet & Carrot Salad with pumpkin seeds. Spicy Coco Sauce is AMAZING! I could drink it! I am so hopeful that I am not reactive in the shrimp test down the road...because Shrimp with Spicy Coco Sauce sounds incredible. I love the Beet and Carrot salad with pumpkin seeds, it sweet and the texture is so crunchy! I felt so great after dinner!
I had my last glass of water, followed by a cup of tea about an hour after dinner. I had been pleasantly surprised when I noted that I was actually sleepy since it rarely, if ever happen at night. THEN my first toxic hunger symptom showed up, a massive headache. No chance was I falling asleep. I warmed up my body and did some light yoga to relax my brain. Then the fiance showed up from work (he works 3rd shift) and threw steaks on the grill for his dinner. It smelled so amazing and looked so delicious. I knew if I ate a steak the headache would go away. I resisted for an hour, but finally gave in. The headache disappeared. Now, I get to do the first day all over. Usually a slip up like that would have sent me into a shame spiral that twisted into a guilt-binge. Not this time. My body said it needed steak. Tomorrow, I will know better.
Goodnight!
