I have to apologize because my intention was to blog every night of the 40 day long journey, but I had such a headache last night, I put my kids to bed at 8:30 and passed out on the couch at 8:31. I didn't wake up until 1 am when my husband came in to get me to tell me to come to bed! At least my headache was gone - it was something nasty. Maybe it's part of the detox from horrible food or maybe the lack of fats - I really don't know, but I seriously have not had a non-migraine headache like that ever before.
That being said - I weighed myself this morning - and after 1 day - I have lost five pounds (yeah right, what?!) I will say that it is probably water weight and/or the fact that none of the foods I ate yesterday made me bloat so for now I will take it, but not officially think it's real until it's gone for at least a week :)
So, on to the food critique. Like I said, yesterday I didn't bloat - AT ALL - and this is huge because every time I ate before, I bloated and had pain and it was just a mess. Nope, yesterday was amazing. I had an orange/strawberry smoothie for breakfast, melba toast for snack, blackened chicken spinach salad with homemade dressing for lunch, apple for a 2nd snack, Boca Burger (1.5) for dinner with onions, tomatoes, and lettuce on them and another melba toast. Boca burgers, when cooked right (and not over cooked) are actually really good. I cooked four because I burned the first two - annoying, but I learned although it says 8-10 minutes from frozen, it does not actually mean that...more like 4-5 on my George Foreman grill!
Monday, I did feel hungry at around 10:30 am, but I had a cup of hot tea and it seemed to subside. This isn't easy...we have a box of Oatmeal Cream Pies in the upper cabinet and for like three hours yesterday that's all I could think about - seriously though...if I can't even make it one full day....where is my will power?! But, I did make it one full day and judging on how my body felt, it was the right move.
I have also found out that my 5-year-old loves melba toast! A great alternative to gardettos or chex mix with all the sugars and "extra fluff" they put in there - so YAY!
Today's menu is an apple for breakfast with iced black coffee (actually REALLY GOOD) the left over Boca Burgers (yes I am eating the burned ones...I CAN'T waste food) with a salad and homemade dressing, and tonight I am super excited and nervous about having fish again...last time I ate it, my throat started to itch and my ears felt funny and I kept coughing (allergic reaction possibly...slight one - not sure) so if I am blogging from the hospital tonight we will know I may need to stay away from fish :).
I will say - I am not supposed to be drinking caffeine and I know this, but I dropped pop all together (over two months now!) and I feel like one iced coffee a day is probably not going to hurt, but - this is a testing situation, too, I may drop coffee all together, too, depending on how things feel this week so yet, another blog post topic to add to the list!
