Day 2 Recap

Overall I'd call today a success. Other than feeling extremely tired (seriously I wanted to nap. All. Day.), I feel okay. The scale shows I'm down 3.6 lbs, but I know it's all water. Still - I'll take it!

Breakfast was oatmeal with raspberries, drizzled with a little honey for sweetness.

 

The oatmeal was very filling, though I was definitely hungry before lunchtime.  I ate lunch earlier than planned, knowing I'd be able to eat a mid-afternoon snack.  I felt much better after lunch, which was supposed to be miso soup - but I still can't find miso paste!  Even the Asian Market didn't have it!  Weird!  So I recreated yesterday's breakfast for today's lunch. It hit the spot. That whole wheat toast tasted SO good today.  

My snack consisted of 15 raw almonds and a Granny Smith Apple. I ate it while I waited at the mall for Ryan, who had voice and guitar lessons. It held me over til dinner, even through a grocery trip!  I did have to hush that voice in my head at the store - it encouraged me to buy candy, cupcakes, mashed potatoes...  The list goes on. I survived, though.  

I made pierogi for dinner for Ryan since I knew he wouldn't like my menu, and am very proud that I wasn't tempted (much) to take even a bite. My dinner was a Southwestern Veggie Taco - it was good, though I'm not crazy about corn tortillas in general (and I could only have one tortilla so I ended up eating most of the "guts" with a fork anyway).  My favorite part of dinner was the fresh guacamole. Yum!

I'm definitely not "out of the woods" as far as sticking to it...  It's hard!  But in determined, and I really think blogging it helps, so even if no one's reading but me, it's helping to keep me accountable. Bring on Day 3!
