okay, so i thought olive oil and cheese would be my weaknesses. i was completely wrong. i find myself picking at our blueberry lemon coffee cake and a box of sweet tarts. i could swear my blood is made of sugar. who was i kidding? i'm the girl who'd take ice cream over dinner any day. however, i did dream about, get this, PIZZA! a dream exclusively made of pizza. i dont have enough fingers to count everything i could eat right now . . .
anyway, things are going well though. i know i'm not supposed to hop on the scale everyday, but i was curious because i've been feeling good. i've been walking in the mornings and drinking lots of cran water (though i think i should drink it more frequently) and have been eating very veggie-filled, bland meals. nothing like some dry chicken and a pot of mustard greens! yum! oh well, just two weeks.
though i DID have a good meal. i read my book a bit more and found out that i could eat canned tuna. i was relieved because i'm getting a little tired of cooking and cleaning. i like cold foods. so i had mustard greens with romaine salad, topped with the marinated artichoke salad in the recipes section topped with canned tuna. that, next to the asparagus and salmon meal, was the best so far. i've noted that that the cider turkey (which i subbed with chicken) didn't agree with my taste buds and neither did the spaghetti squash recipe.
now that i read more of the book, i think i'm starting to get the hang of it . . . to the point where i can create my own meals. which is a huge relief! this stuff gets expensive.
i've also decided to make my own cranberry juice to solve my budget problem. speaking of solving problems: i realized that it's much easier to have a smoothie for breakfast and a hard boiled egg for a snack, instead of scrambled eggs for breakfast and grapefruit for a snack. though i have become very fond of grapefruit. it's just such a hearty fruit. and it tastes great with stevia. which, i kind overuse (cranwater, lemon water and a little extra in the smoothie..i said i was made of sugar).
aaaanyway, i supposed i should drink my cocktail before i forget. i haven't drunken it night since i started the diet; better get on board with that!
okay, guys. have a great weekend. i know i'll be having a delightfully sober one (bah humbug :( )
