Day 28

I got a good report from my doctor today!  All of my numbers are in order--sugar & insulin are fine and I'm NOT diabetic!  And my cholesterol is down!!!! Yaahoooo!!!!

Breakfast:  zucchini muffin, 2 slices of bacon (fruit from the fruit platter they had a PD--melon, grapes and strawberries)

Snack:  coconut milk blend in my thermal coffee mug.  I sipped on this all morning.  Because of this there was no need for snacks

Today, I had PD and they provided lunch--build your own salad.  I stayed away from the bacon b/c i'm sure it wasn't nitrate-free.  My salad was all veggies, boiled egg and chicken.   Two Hallelu-yer moments for this meal:

1. I made this big huge salad b/c I knew I couldn't have desert.  About halfway through the salad, I realized I wasn't hungry.  I stopped eating and threw it away.  This picture is what I threw away.
2. They had 2 delicious looking desserts. . . turtle brownie with all of the fixins and this lemony mouse thing.   I admired it b/c it looked sooo good.  But to be honest, I didn't have a desire to eat it.  I didn't have a sweet tooth at the end of my salad.  Who would've thought?  I can resist/not desire dessert!

There wasn't a need for my snack that I took with me.  When I came home, I put them in the frig.  I'll take the back tomorrow b/c again, I am not sure of what will be offered.

Dinner:  sirloin steak, roasted zucchini and squash, leftover turnip greens. Today, I salted my steak with a little sea salt before cooking it and I'm feeling like it's a little salty.  Wow, my taste buds have really changed.

This is an AMAZING squash I found at the farmers market today.  It's taller than my microwave.  It is really really fat.  I'm going to cut it tomorrow and make a casserole.

How should I shop for cheese if I want to add it back in?  I'd like to occasionally crumble some on my salads.  I'll make sure that its extremely limited no more than a tablespoon at a serving.
