Day 11, 12, 13, 14, 15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20 and 21 WOAH

Okay ... missing these many days might make you think that I've been bad very very bad.  No, not really.  Just been extremely busy. 


Well Birthday weekend which consisted of Friday (7/1/2011) night ... ate bad and had a beer. Then  Vegas for the long weekend. oh my 


Ate all kinds of things, however they were not all bad.  But did eat something not SCD friendly in every meal.  Also, didn't drink a lot of stuff, only had 3 alcoholic beverages throughout the trip. YAY me :)


Yes, I know still bad but other than that I was good.  But on day 13 I weighed myself and I was down 9 lbs (1.5 weeks or so)! Then I ate all sorts of bad things (it was cheat day, on my birthday!)


So I'm back on it ... 100% Lets see how much I lose :)

Day 10: ppppuuuuuuuuuuurrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr

My kitty purred today ... that was good news.  I was worried about my kitty all day that food fir me didn't seem like a huge deal.  Ate 3 meals and was full in between them :) 

Had a minor crave for watermelon, but just drank a lot of water. For breakfast now I do there bowl things ... eggs, spinach, turkey sausage, and last but not least lentils.  I really like it now :)

My lunch consisted of 2 chicken breasts, 2 cups of beans, veggies and iced tea :)

Looks good no? Might have the same tomorrow.

Dinner ... I was not hungry.  I ate some chicken and veggies. Time to force feed some meds on my poor kitty.  Wish me luck!

Day 9:Special diet for kitty ... poor kitty

So today was extra difficult.  My kitty (the one that disproves of my mangos) went to the vet on Monday and I got a call today that his kidney results were abnormal.  Oh man I freaked out!


According to vet, he just needs to take 2 pills twice a day and special food twice a day ... and get him retested in a month.  Keeping fingers crossed :)


It's okay that I have to basically force him on taking his pills ... he will get better!


Which brings me to ... I ate dark chocolate today!  I was super depressed at work after I got the call. tears and all. I said "Ah, chocolate, I need it" and ate some (not a lot but still it's the whole principle?)


Ah! Other than that, I ate awesomeness, legumes, proteins and veggies!

mmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm! okay enough of that ... I'll stop making excuses!

Day 10 ... better!

Day 8: Oooh this looks good .... lentils?

I don't understand how I can eat bacon and eggs every morning and not get tired of that.  Today, almost forgot the lentils.  Oh the lentils!  Just have my eyes on the prize, a few pounds lighter and a few inches thinner ... Ahhh! Will be extremely disappointed if there is no change by next Saturday.  Especially with all the changes I've made :)

For breakfast today ... 1 egg and some egg whites, 2 chicken sausages, and 1/2 cup lentils with coffee (boy am I fed up)

Lunch was awesome ... stir-fry with tons of chicken, cabbage, broccoli, carrots, and spicy sauce!

However, legumes were missing I was starving a few hours later.  Drank a lot of water and some coffee. Helped for a while ... after a couple hours at the vet ... stressful. 

Went to Qdoba and got a naked burrito with beans, guacamole, lots of chicken and lettuce. Pretty awesome.  But I want pizza!

Next cheat day is my birthday ... and I have been eating nothing but SCD stuff ... surprisingly.  Co-workers brought banana cupcakes :( argh!

It's okay, I'll better things soon!

Day 7: oh the temptations after having the goodness

I could not wake up this morning.  Food last night was amazing, we were a little dreading going back to the old grind.  Lentils, beans and such.  This morning had the usual, 1 egg with whites, l/2 cup lentils, and 2 turkey sausages and some coffee.  No chocolate croissant, no coconut roche.  

So we went to have some awesome Indian food, mu FAVORITE!!!!!!!!!! We specifically asked for no rice and no NAAN (my weakness) and look what we got...

My husband bit his tongue when the waiter puts this on our table!  What I did was fold it in half and pushed it aside and stared at it for a minute.  Then the thought came to mind "Ah, I can extend my cheat day, having a little will not kill me"  But no I was strong, even when I had some sauce left.  My husband was pretty proud, before I would of eaten the entire piece!

So anyway, after the temptation--courtesy of evil evil waiter our food came out.

Had some chana masala, chicken tikka and some mint chutney.  Was delicious! So delicious I had some for dinner plus other goodies.

Had some veggies for dinner, some shrimp and more chana masala.  Yes, I know, more chickpeas, but was delicious.  Today was a breeze despite the temptations.  Hopefully as today I overcame the temptations, I will do the same tomorrow :)

Day 6: Bring it on ...

Ah the moment of truth has arrived!  However, I will not weight myself nor measure this week.  I always make myself crazy. 


To start today I had my normal breakfast ... eggs with egg-whites, turkey sausages, and lentils with some coffee.  Man was the anticipation building up ... I had some spicy mango, some chocolate croissants, coconut roches ... greek yogurt!

Chocolate Croissant ... delicious!

 Spicy mango ... had about 1.5 bags ... mmmm! 

 Yogurt!!!

 Lunch ... sopes! Deep fried masa, beans, asada, and cabbage!

Dinner ... concluded with some nuggets, fries, coke, and mango-pineapple smoothie. This was amazing ... brought it on and took it! Countdown to next Saturday :) and it's my birthday next Saturday!

Day 5: Chocolate wasted!!!!!!

Ah, can't wait for cheat day!  Went and got some of the stuff we want to eat tomorrow.  Saved some cake pop and will enjoy them so much!

For breakfast today, we had some eggs, turkey sausage, lentils and coffee.  This breakfast is extremely satisfying, feel full until lunch.  

Lunch today was challenging, we had a late lunch today ... snacked on some steamed broccoli.  Lunch, lots of veggies and protein (chicken and thin steak.)  Tons of water :)

 

However, seeing all my co-workers enjoying chips and salsa, all sorts of fruit, beer and soda --I was dying.  All I was thinking ... tick-tock this time tomorrow (saturday) I--We will be chocolate wasted :)

Already have my bags of mango, peaches, coconut mounds and will head out tomorrow morning for some chocolate croissants and surprise my husband :)

AHHH! so excited!
