Wow, I'm up to day 17!
Breakfast: Canadian Bacon and Zucchini muffin
Lunch: Went for my weekly Indian w/my friend. This time I was clear about my new diet. I told her about Paleo. I had a salad of lettuce, cucumbers, tomatoes mint sauce, tandoori chicken. This time I went back for seconds. I ate until I was full. I think I ate 5 or 6 pieces of chicken. I was hungry and I'd met her without going home in between my errands and had breakfast really early.
Snack: celery, bell pepper slices & cucumber dipped in pico de gallo & guacamole that I bought at the farmers market after DRILLING the seller about its contents. (He was clear that it only contained what I saw in it, lime juice and salt.) So, I felt pretty comfortable about buying it. I know it was "homemade" The avocado chunks in the guacamole were HUGE!!! I didn't finish the whole plate. I ate about half of it--the satisfied level. I ate this b/c I was not sure what would happen when I went to the bbq.
Dinner: Went to a BBQ. Had 3 pieces of chicken, hamburger & steak along with several pieces of the crudités (tomatoes & broccoli). Grilled veggies. For desert, I had 2 strawberries (they were sooooo SWEET!) It felt like everything was really salty. And I'm sure it was, I think I need to flush out my system with water from all of the salt I ingested. After eating at the BBQ, I felt like I had overeaten. The first time since I started this whole process. But again, it wasn't so bad that I was sleepy or felt sick. I had a little indigestion after eating but it went away after about 10 minutes. . . I think it was the salt. I think I'm a changed woman . . . I think I might have found the RIGHT path for a healthy body. I can really taste my food and . . . I can't wait to see the BIG changes at the in 13 days, unless J tells me I need to start over b/c I didn't do well at the BBQ.

Oh no, I think you did a great job! I continue to be impressed and proud of how well you are doing. You handled the social situation fabulously today. I didn't realize the bbq you were going to was today, or I would have been faster about posting. Kudos to you! Yes, there was probably salt on the meat you ate, but there's also probably salt on every piece of meat you've eaten that you yourself did not cook. We do the absolute best that we can with this. Three cheers for you! I hope your Indian food friend was supportive. This is different from what most people see/hear/do, but it sounds like you are experiencing a plethora of benefits from it.
ReplyDeleteoh, Jessica, I forgot to add, I did have 2 strawberries at the BBQ. ONLY 2 I promise. I think I haven't had sugar in so long, they tasted like candy. OMG, they were soooo sweet! But I cut myself off.
