DAILY RECAP
I woke up to a friend popping in the patio door, shouting my moms name. Not a pleasant way to wake up. Ollie went down rather easy last night and woke up happy as can be today. I can tell that we will need a small nap in a hour or two.
I've noticed a positive change. Yes, my weight stabilized today, but I expected that since I ate my dinner and had my last cup of tea much later than usual. To be cautious, I will be retesting almonds down the line. The change I'm talking about? I've been getting dressed right away in the morning. Usually I'm a pjay almost all day girl...but I have to strip down for my daily weigh-in, so I go ahead and get dressed!
Mmm. I like this detox tea, it tastes a bit like black licorice smells. I DESPISE black licorice, but I find the tea comforting and tasty. Other than the tea, this morning is like any other. 160z of water with lemon, flax granola, blueberries, coconut milk and my daily probiotic.
I spend the morning meditating, bumming around with Ollie and then having tea with mom and our friends when they got back from running errands. After our Dave & Cici left, mom and I sat down to journal together while Ollie practiced putting money in his piggy bank. My thoughts were everywhere, so I left the page to prepare Lunch.
I was supposed to have baby romaine with 1/4 avocado, carrots and pumpkin seeds with Spicy Vegetarian Soup and 1/2c chickpeas. That didn't happen. My salad was disgusting from travel/being in the fridge for a few day...salad is always better freshly prepped. My soup was nowhere to be found. I had to improvise...so I did what I could.
I ended up eating 1c. of brown rice with a huge mass of collard green and a bit of butter and handful of almonds. So flipping delicious! I could eat that a couple times a week. We'll see if there is any damage on the scale tomorrow.
Right after Lunch, momzoe happily informs me that our friend Boss (Dave) would like to take us out to dinner so he can visit with me and Ollie. I panic! I am not supposed to eat out on the plan. BUT I didn't pack dinner because I planned on preparing it fresh for the family. I can do this. I will have my snack as planned and then be very careful at Dinner.
Carlos O'Kellys...oh man, I dreaded those chips and salsa from the minute we decided to go there. I really shouldn't have. I was perfectly fine, only feeling a little pang of jealousy as I watched two baskets disappear into the hungry mouths of Momzoe, Boss and Ollie. I sipped my lemon water with no ice while they munched. Side note*my thyroid is under-active so I drink all my beverages room temp or warmer to promote my thyroid function. I ended up ordering the chicken fajita plate with double veggies and avocado, requesting that no salt be added during the cooking process.
It was good, but not well spiced. I can tell they really depend on salt to make their food tasty. I've grown used to tons of spice and being able to taste the real notes of the food. I still enjoyed dinner because I was having fun with people I love.
Dave dropped mom and I off at our good friend Robby's house. Robby lives across the street from our house and invited us into his home when we were working on our house and is still letting us use his kitchen and bathroom whenever we want since ours don't work yet. We watched some A League of Our Own and I made mom and I had 1.5cups of detox tea to help our bodies process all the sodium from dinner. We each had headaches within an hour of dinner. I'm guessing it was from the MSG. After TV time we went home and settled in, talking for hours.
I'm nervous that my weight will be up tomorrow. At least I will know the exact cause. I am redoing this days menu tomorrow. I am proud of myself, I stuck with the diet as best I could. I may have deviated from the menu, but I did it all foods that have proven friendly for my body. In the past, a slip-up like forgetting to pack a meal would have sent me into a weird binging phase. "I already messed up, might as well eat the cheesiest, crunchiest and naughtiest thing on the menu...psht...why not binge on chips while I wait? Heck, where is my Mug'o'rita?"
Going to be feeling positive'ish.
Night world!
