Troisième Jour

I am a bit sluggish today. I planned on waking up at 5:45, HA!, to go grocery shopping so I would have food for today but my first glance of the clock this morning was 6:58. Oops. Luckily I cut up some strawberries last night, put my fiber drink & spark in my lunch box and had it ready to go in the fridge. I made an egg white omelet, I also burned said egg white omelet. I shoved it in a rubbermaid container and set off to work.

sriracha sauce...SPIIIICY!

Last night's meal was super easy to whip up. I marinated some porkchops when I got home from work using 1 tbsp. of Kraft Free Zesty & Ceasar Italian and 1 tbsp. Sriracha Sauce (the best SPICY chili sauce ever). I poured the mixture over top and let sit in the fridge for a couple hours. Around 7 I heated up the brown rice & vegetables from the night before, tossed Steamfresh green beans in the microwave & put together a salad. The salad was lettuce & tomatoes with black pepper. Nothing fancy. I browned some turkey smoked sausage in a pan for Steve & Sydney in addition to their dinners. Want to make sure they're not neglected! Dinner was really good, I overcooked the chops, probably because they were super thin, I swear they were on the grill for maybe 4 minutes. Still edible though, can't complain.  I was extra hungry yesterday, I noticed. I grabbed some almonds at my parents house around 6 and had those tide me over until I made dinner. I also took 6 Omega pills last night instead of 4. They aren't the same kind that Advocare recommends, but they are...kinda.

I get that I jump around and haven't exactly explained what I am doing and what my goals are...I feel that is boring. No, I am pretty bad at explanations, seriously. Ask my husband. He cannot stand when he asks me something and gets a one word answer in reply. I dont like answering questions sometimes, its weird.  Its more that I dont feel like talking, which sometimes is necessary but not in my book. I promise at one point in time I will fully explain. Just know that it encompasses 24 days that I have to go without Starbucks!

Day 2

I thought I was going to have time last night to upload pictures and update this thing-a-ma-jig with my food-filled day, but alas I forgot about some homework that needed to be completed by midnight. Leave it to me to be super last minute...on everything! So I didn't get around to it then and now I'm at work so it'll just have to be a big-girl entry without pictures. Dissapointing, I know!

After updating yesterday about the fiber drink ordeal & my breakfast, I grabbed some almonds (7 to be precise) and pecans (about 5) for a mid morning snack. I didn't think they would hold me over until lunch, which they didnt but the crunchiness definitely hit the spot. I opted for a Steamfresh bag of Brocolli around 11:30, added some pepper & crushed red pepper flakes and it was magnifico! I probably wouldn't describe it like that, but it filled me up. 

Lunch was uneventful too, iceberg lettuce, cucumbers w/ basalmic vinegar & grilled chicken. I added a tbsp. of Kraft Zesty Italian dressing, and overall it was good & filling. Once back to work I had a piece of gum, I was craving Starbucks so badly.

Starbucks, I miss you! Please know that I WILL be back...just not anytime soon.

The gum definitely helped satisfy the craving. I had to ask Katy first if I could chew gum. I didn't want to break the rules on day 1. That would be my luck. After I was tired of the gum, I had a peach. I swear when I know I'm not supposed to eat a lot, I shovel food down like its my job. I guess it could be worse, like eating a pizza.

Vinnie's Pizza...Pittsburgh, PA

I digress...finding pictures of food is so much more fun right now though! Dinner was already planned in my head. I went home, cleaned the kitchen and got to work. The menu: Grilled Chicken, Brown Rice, Salad consisting of lettuce & tomatoes, and sauteed, by sauteed I mean put in a pan with PAM and let cook, no butter,  vegetables (onions, mushrooms & zucchini). I was starving by the time everything was ready. I read that I can half 3/4 cup of a 'starchy carb' so I did just that and packed my little serving cup to the brim. I was going to enjoy every bit of it.  And I did. After I was done eating I went in the kitchen and put the leftover food away, I didn't want to tempt myself to pick like I usually do.
 So that's what I ate yesterday. After dinner I retreated to my room and finished my homework, about 9:45, I took the herbal cleanse pills and hit the sack. It was nice to get to bed early.  Today is day two. I woke up early and planned on making eggs for breakfast while drinking that nastiness, i mean fiber drink, but that didn't happen. I was whisked out the door so quickly I could only grab another peach. Torture. I. am. starving. I did manage to pack a bag of steamfresh green beans, but at 8:45 in the morning? No thank you.
