My intentions were good. Aren’t they always? I had every intention of starting on July 4. What was I thinking? Before going to the grocery, I asked my hubby what he wanted for his July 4th cookout. He indicated what amounted to a carb fest. And we’re not talking the good kind of carbs, either. Needless to say, I had one last hurrah before starting today. I didn’t go too crazy, thankfully.
Okay, so the bad is out of the way-now for the good. My hunger has been contained today. To say I’m amazed is an understatement. I started my day with garden omlet (2 eggs, green peppers, onion, mushrooms and a smidge of cheese) and three slices of turkey bacon. I had a slice of reduced Lorraine Swiss cheese for a snack, 3 oz baked chicken and 1 c. of broccoli for lunch. I’m trying to eat a taco salad for dinner (lettuce, ground beef, green peppers, onions) but I feel full. It’s been about 5 hours since I ate lunch, so I don’t understand where the fullness is coming from. I’ve set the salad aside, I’ll try again later. I have a tough time with digesting chicken, so I’m not sure if that’s the problem.
I managed to get in a 45 minute walk. It felt to get out and move. I grabbed my mp3 player, laced up my running shoes and hit the road. I live along a well traveled road and I wonder what people think when they see my chunky booty motoring along. I would hope the thought is something along the lines of “Great, she’s getting some exercise. Good job” But I fear it’s something to the effect of “Oh my, I didn’t realize they made spandex capris in her size!” I shouldn’t care, but I do. I’ll switch back to my early morning walks in the coming weeks.
All in all, I feel pretty good. I’ve not experienced any of the brain fog or cravings that come with weaning yourself off of processed foods. I need to get 2-3 more glasses of water in before the day ends.
Here’s a link to the author. I’m not able to answer any questions about the diet since I am still new at it.
