Still feeling good even though I had a killer of a headache that hit just after dinner last night. Went from 0 to 60 in 3.2 seconds! Hence why my notes from day 3 just kind of drop off. Ended up taking an Advil around midnight and it seems to be gone today! Cross our fingers. Got on the scale - no change - but that is okay!
It appears I really didn't journal anything in my note book about these two days but I know it is in my email.
Day 4
Hey friends! Sorry I have been out of touch! Life has been very busy the last two days and yesterday well I was so grumpy in the morning (Shannon can attest to that) that I just wanted to hibernate.
I am so proud of everyone. What we are doing is not easy but we are doing this to be better us'! Every now and then when I want to cave, Sophie gives me a pep talk (at least this is what I pretend she is doing when she goes on a ramblefest - so cute). I am craving bread and crackers of all things and I don't even eat that much of them.
Last night for supper I made myself homemade fresh spring rolls (rice noodles, rice paper wrappers, cucumber, carrots, bean sprouts) and natural wasabi ( I found at Sobeys). It was good but I needed a dip - lying in bed I thought you could mix almond butter with rice vinegar but don't have any of the latter. Next trip to the grocery store I guess.
What I am starting to do is figure out the day before what I am going to make the next day, that way if I don't have the items in the house I can run out to the grocery store (though getting tired of that - and I love the grocery store. I suspect it is all the stuff I want to get (like bread!)). I have also done prep on my vegis so they are ready to go.
Today was good but it required planning - we had little gym this morning and I needed to make sure I had enough fuel to keep up. I did a shot of coconut oil this morning to help fuel me more. I still didn't eat lunch - leftover springrolls - until 1 which is way too late. I tucked into vegis and hummus this afternoon and that was yummy.
Here is my recipe for the week - Stuffed tomatoes and Peppers with Garlic and Herb Goat Cheese Feta.
I browned ground chicken with onions and garlic and then added vegis - carrots, green pepper, cauliflower, celery. I cored the tomatoes and green pepper and then stuffed the chicken mixture inside. I topped a couple of them with the Garlic and Herb Goat Cheese Feta I found at No Frills today. They baked for 1/2 hour at 375 and were yummy. It was easy to make and while I was cooking I ate my apple and water. We just gave Sophie the chicken mixture and peas and she was a happy girl. I also have in the oven right now tomatoes which I am roasting so that I can make Chili tomorrow in the slow cooker. I have leftovers of the Chicken mixture which I will throw in to the pot.
Day 5
Hey all. I think the frustration has finally hit for me. I woke up feeling bloated and gross this morning after four mornings of feeling great when I got up. I also got on the scale this morning and it was up enough to make me want to throw in the towel. I think I did okay yesterday - water, apple, breakie was a banana, juice around 9 and then fruit all morning, stuffed tomato at lunch with ground chicken, green juice in the afternoon around 2, almonds to snack on and then turkey chili for supper and as we ate at 4:30 yesterday I had vegis and hummus around 630 because I was hungry again. I will watch what I eat after supper if we eat that early again and reverse the hummus and vegis in the afternoon and almonds at night.
It may have had something to do with my night - I was up with Sophie from 11:50 to 1:15 and then as I was going to let her cry it out, Etienne took over and she finally settled to sleep around 2 but of course I was lying awake trying to figure out what is causing these 2 hour weekly little stints. Then she started crying in her sleep from about 5:15 to 7:15 when she did wake up for the day, so I had sporadic sleep from then. Sophie also had quite a big spill yesterday, though she is fine, my mom guilt is in overdrive still.
We have just had breakfast - this morning I had banana and clementines (2) cut up. Yum I am having my coffee early today as I am a little tired. I probably should have had the tea first but caffeine was on my mind. I am going to push through today but I think I need to refocus myself. Sophie and I also need to get out of this house today. I am feeling a little cabin feverish and I know that isn't helping either.
Be Strong and wishing each of you a fantastic day!
