Half-way there! Day 15 is done and I'm still compliant!
I won't bore you with the update of all of my meal plans. But I'm very happy to report that I'm on track with no cheats.
It hasn't been as hard to pass up food. My mind has been made up, I
don't waver about it. But the hardest part has been just wanting more
variety in what I eat.
So here's one thing that's working for me: Try to get at least 5
different textures/colors/foods on my plate at each meal. For example,
sauteed ground pork, mini sweet pepper cut in half (like a boat or shell
to fill), sweet potato, lettuce pieces, cherry tomatoes, green olives.
The variety of flavors and textures makes this incongruous selection of
foods work quite well together.
I made it through two days of 8-hour meetings, with junk food on the
side. My dad grilled up a bunch of fajitas another night and was kind to
find seasoning that worked for me. Plus he grilled lots of veg too,
yum! Soon I'm headed to the beach with family. We've planned all of our
meals and I'm hoping my in-laws are careful with seasonings after I
already had to turn down lots of their food earlier this month because
of sugar in things like salad dressing.
I'm less tired, ready to roll when I wake. hoping my tummy deflates
now that it's done using sugar and grains for fuel. Hopefully the fat
supplies will be put to use.
