6 Week - Day 14

My Food:

Breakfast: nothing

Mid-morning: half-caf coffee, scoop of reheated Shepherd's Pie

Lunch: nothing

Dinner: Pizza Salad (I think that's what I want to call it) - garbanzo bean crust topped with crushed tomatoes, roasted chickpeas, mushrooms, broccoli, sunflower seeds, and an amazing buffalo sauce. Baked and then topped with a head of romaine and more buffalo sauce. Incredibly good!

 

Here, let me push some of the lettuce to the side for you so you can see the "pizza" underneath. SO tasty. :)

Exercise: None unless grocery shopping counts. Yeah, didn't think so.

My Thoughts:

Today was icky. Hard and icky. I was tired and grumpy all day. I was lazy and just wanted to go back to bed from the start. I barely ate, which I'm sure didn't help much.

The dinner I came up with was good, though. Our family went to a bonfire tonight so I knew I needed a good meal to fill up on to keep us from the hot dogs and s'mores and donuts at the event. I came up with the pizza idea and the buffalo sauce put it over the top.  David loved it too. I need to work on the crust, but we were both excited to have a grain-free meal that was so tasty.

I also packed a bag of grapes for us so we could enjoy something sweet.  David was so happy with me as he was able to put back the donut he was almost going to eat when he saw me holding the grapes. That sorta made my night. ;)

The scale is down about another pound from last week. That's good, really it is. But I'm left confused because it's the same number I saw on Sunday morning. I thought, for sure, I'd see a lower number come Friday.  Oh, well.  I need to keep going and remember it's about the journey, not the scale.

I do notice I have less belly bloat this week. That makes me happy.

I'm also doing some research these days on digestion and stools. I know that's a little TMI, but it can tell you a lot about your health. And, whenever I'm eating well, I notice big changes in my digestion, all for the better.  An article that made me laugh but also has me thinking and eager to dig for some real science to see if her thoughts are accurate is posted here titled, "Fart, or Be Fat".  Catchy, huh? :)

With what I'm reading there and with what I'm observing here, I've started increasing my water intake.  Seems that the high fiber diet needs to be met with enough water to keep things just right.
