Sorry I have been slow about getting out my days of progress. I need to make sure I do it every night or else I will get way behind as I am today.
Day 2, Tuesday, was a good day. I was feeling pretty strong still about the whole thing and wasn't bothered too much by my cravings.
The day started early. I was up with my little man at 630am and playing on the floor. My daughter S got up at 7am and we started breakfast. She started with rice crispies as I prepared our scrambled eggs with yellow pepper and shallot. Once our eggs were ready I plated our food. I had 2 scrambled eggs with yellow pepper and shallot, as well as, more yellow pepper and half an avocado. Along side was a large glass of water. It was yummy!
After breaky, we played until my hubby got up at 830am and I decided I needed to go back to bed and get a little more sleep, as I was feeling quite exhausted. I slept for an hour and a half waking up around 10am. It's been along time since I've had an early morning nap but I'm trying to listen to my body this month and I desperately needed it.
At noon, we had some lunch. I think because I had been more prepared with eating fat this morning I was able to last longer without eating my next meal. For lunch, I had smoked salmon, some steak from the night before and lots of veggie cut up. I love smoked salmon, so was quite excited to sit down and eat it.
Once lunch was finished M woke up from his nap and we went out in the car. We have been doing some research about ordering chicken from a farm. I finally found one I was pretty sure I wanted to go with. So I put the kids in the car and we went to our local grocery store to compare prices. I wanted to see how comparable the prices were with the farm. It turns out the farm was at least .70$ cheaper on everything if not more. This was quite exciting as we decided to order some free range local farm chicken. We will be picking up 2 whole chickens, 6lbs of chicken breast and 4lbs of turkey breast on Sept 22 from K&M farms. Can't wait to taste the incredible chicken!
We then carried onto my parents house and planned on going for a walk with my mom. But, my dad was home and he didn't want to go for a walk and wanted to go to get a coffee instead. This excited S because she loves our local coffee shop Localz and the wonderful ladies that run it. I must say I was quite proud of myself, I was able to sit there with my glass of water while everyone had something delicious. S decided she wanted a chocolate chip, banana, peanut butter muffin....they are so yummy! My dad had a smoked montreal sandwich on rye, that look awesome too. But, I had had my lunch and wasn't feeling hungry plus I didn't need it.
That night we ate dinner late. I started making dinner after the kids had gone to sleep which was about 7pm. So I didn't actually sit down for dinner till 8pm. I was excited about dinner though. I had planned on making Moroccan chicken which I had seen my cousin make the night before. Thanks J! The chicken was delicious with roasted zucchini and green beans.
Here's what I noticed on day 2: I subconsciously put things in my mouth that I don't even realize. When I helped S take her muffin out of the wrapper and got chocolate on my hands I licked it off. When I make S a peanut butter sandwich I eat the rest of the peanut butter off the knife. When I make a bowl of crackers for S to snack on I automatically take one. So I have been trying to be very conscious and aware when making things for S, so I don't put anything in my mouth. It's hard with kids....But I CAN DO THIS.
On to Day 3!
