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.
