DAILY RECAP
I slept last night! I was still up too late but I got 7hrs of sleep! That is such an improvement. I feel so good. This may be a day with no nap. I knew "The Plan" was supposed to help with insomnia, but I had my doubts. No more doubts. Eureka! I just realized I haven't had my usual even brain pain, I've been headache free for day. Wowzers. Oh, and another pound down!
Breakfast was the usual flax granola, blueberries and coconut milk with a side of tea. I did have the option to swap blueberries for 1/2 an apple or pear. I love blueberries too much to say goodbye to them. Again, I made my way through breakfast slowly and really enjoyed the experience.
Ollie hasn't been crazy about me spending so much time with my focus on me instead of him. Today he went and got my blanket and followed me around because he wanted cuddles. I really only had five minutes until Lunch was ready and he does this:
After I gave in to the little evil angel we had lunch together. Today I tested 1oz goat cheese on my bed of green with pumpkin seeds accompanied by 1 cup of last night roasted veggies.Yummy! I had no idea that I would like goat cheese, but I do! I ate everything on my plate for the first time (excluding breakfast).
I passed the chickpea test, so I got to have homemade hummus (minus tahini) today! Officially the first snack that feels like a real snack to me. I was heavy handed when I spiced my hummus, so happy I did.
I adore "The Plan" Mango Cucumber Salsa! I had it on a bed of mixed greens with carrots and avocado. Sidled up to my tasty salad was a wellspiced bake chicken breast and steamed broccoli drizzled with orange infused olive oil and sprinkle with chili flakes. This meal was so satisfying, even Ollie dug each dish.
Mmmm! Chocolate, 1oz of hershey's special dark and a glass of red wine. I am a white wine girl but I thought I'd give red a chance. I am sipping Cupcake Vineyards Pinot Noir as a type. I like, not as delectable as Risata's Moscoto, but hey...I found a red!
I can't believe the changes I've experienced in less than a week. I've lost 4.4lbs and several inches. My energy is up and so is my sleep. My skin is clearer and my headaches are gone. Food tastes better everyday. I no longer suffer from seesawing bowel movements. I have only really had one mood swing and I should be amid crazy intense PMS right now. Usually PMS includes bloating, body aches and irrational emotional swings for me. Last night, I had one moment where my mood dipped but it lasted for less than 20minutes and I recognized what was happening. I was just upset because the whole house was spotless and my boys came in from work and the house exploded around them into disarray.
I am nicely relaxed...time to go chill with my Ollie and read a story. :)
