Day 3 Day @ Aquarium + Cook Out

Day 3: Wednesday July 3

1: 2 muffins: ground turkey and spinach. 2 slices apple.
snack: carrot, 1/2 can green olives, mini bell peppers
2: tukey, 1/2 avocado, carrot
3: Cook out @ in-laws. 2 steamed crabs. salad. 1/2 breast brined "best chicken ever" from Well Fed. 6 amazing cherries. strawberry.

Hardest day yet (3 days, I know...i need to toughen up) especially at the cook-out. My very well-intentioned in-laws cooked several things thinking I could eat them. But the seasoning on the burgers? Sugar was 2nd ingredient. The envelope "home-made" dressing on the salmon? 1st ingredient=sugar. the amazing looking chicken thighes were basted in bbq sauce. It was a fight in my head. My brined chicken came out too salty for my taste. I just wanted a hambuger potato bun to soak up the salty taste.

I know this is when its supposed to get hard. and it's getting there. I keep thinking I'd be more satisfied with a few carbs... the hamburger bun, some of the grilled corn. Maybe it's just psycological. Maybe I need to be sure to eat more veg carbs like sweet potatos. Not sure. Right now slathering something with mayo sounds like it might help. And I'm not a mayo person, but the homemade stuff is decent. Maybe though that's my salty mouth talking, as it's still feeling salty form the brine a few hours ago.

high five to myself for not finishing the granola bar for my daughter or not nibbling on corn I cut for her off of the cob even though it smelled amazing. And she's almost 2, and does this really sweet sharing thing, handing me a tortilla chip today to share with me. Very sweet. And I didn't eat it but loved the gesture.
