Okay, so this is not so bad. I actually am liking all the things on the menu. The thing that still really haunts me is not snacking. I sat down to watch a movie and that was really tough!
All in all it is going well. I do feel healthier, so I guess that is the point.
For breakfast I had oatmeal and a sliced apple, for lunch a small salad with grilled chicken and red wine dressing and for dinner grilled portabello mushroom caps stuffed with sundried tomatoes, spinach brushed with olive oil and black pepper.
I think I am going to make it!
Today was challenging. I was out the whole day and in meetings. Hard to resit at restaurants, but I did and only ordered the items that fell into the approved foods to eat.
I will be glad when this week is done! I want a big brownie, but I will have to wait…..
I had yogurt and granola for breakfast. For lunch I had a salad with a grilled chicken breast. For dinner I had broiled salmon with steamed broccoli.
Well another day I have made it. I am okay, the meals are not all that bad, they are filling for the most part, just have a hard time not snacking!
Today I had an egg white scramble with diced zucchini and fruit. for lunch I had a turkey wrap with a whole wheat tortilla, and that was good. For dinner I made a pasta dish with whole wheat pasta, fresh cherry tomato sauce with basil and veggies.
Simple Apple Pie Dessert.
Nuke 1/2 and apple, sliced thin for 1 min, then top with granola and 1 tbsp Greek yogurt and a splash of cinnamon. Actually this is good!
Here is to another day!
So I made it though the day on the diet…….Feeling hungry but the main meals are filling. The part I had trouble with is not snacking whenever I want.
For breakfast I had Egg white scramble with red bell peppers, squash and onions. I wrapped that in a whole wheat tortilla and topped with organic salsa. Then I had 1/4 cup sliced fruit with 2 TBSP Greek Yogurt.
For lunch I had a Turkey Lettuce wrap. I took 2 slices turkey, broccoli spouts, carrots and cucumber and put a light vinaigrette and then rolled that up.
For Dinner I had baked Salmon, with a 1/2 baked sweet potato with olive oil spread and pumpkin pie spiced seasoning and a corn and Lima bean mix.
My snacks are consisting of Special K crisp bars, fruit, nuts, string cheese, veggies with hummus dip.
Actually I feel good.
I also have been using this detox tea
It does not taste too good, but is tolerable.
I will check in tomorrow, let you all know how things are!
Now that we have covered sauces the next thing I would like to talk about is Meat. Meats are used in a variety of French cooking. Here is meat 101.
