I am currently sitting in my recliner watching my boys play video games and doing a little bit more on the meal planning front. The rest of my food today:
Meal 2
hamburger patty with some sautéed onions and jalapenos stuffed inside
a whole lot of Brussels sprouts with a little diced pancetta (probably contraband), sautéed in coconut oil. The inspiration for this came from today's trip to Trader Joe's (yesterday's grocery run was quick and inadequate)
Meal 3
Ribeye steak
broccoli roasted in ghee (that I made myself... who knew I could make ghee... it's dietary change AND self discovery!!)
cucumber and tomato salad
In an email exchange with Chris late in the morning, I did mention that the 'damn diet was giving me a headache.' And it was. Not a bad headache, but I definitely felt off. Some ibuprofen and lunch helped tremendously. I also mentioned in an email exchange with my friend Tiff that I'd like 'a bowl of oatmeal cooked in beer.' Clearly grain addiction is an issue for me. This is not news to me, but today definitely brought that fact home.
Chris also had a headache at one point in the day. He also had to go to a gathering where the other attendees were enjoying beer and buffalo wings. Two of his all time faves. But... he made it!
Granted, I was a little heavy handed with the red meat; which I blame on being ill prepared. I think I'm ready to be a little more balanced on that front now.
We are both marking a notch in the win column for today. It wasn't KILLER HARD, but it wasn't easy either. Glad it's behind us!
