So yesterday when I got home from work, hanging on my front door knob was an advertisement for pizza from Domino's. It was the last thing I wanted to see after the day I had. See I have to confess - I went off the diet Friday for lunch. I had a hamburger, including bun (broke the no bread role) and a Sprite.
Here is the reason/excuse as to why I "had" to eat that way. United Way, who I work for, had their metro campaign celebration. The event was a mixture of high school pep rally and carnival. The only food available was hamburgers, hot dogs, nachos, popcorn and cotton candy. So I went with the hamburger; it was off the diet but was the least off the diet food available.
But I've been back on the diet ever since. And I've actually had fun coming up with different meals. I'm cooking now more than ever, and that's been fun. Last night I had pesto-lime chicken with a salad. And I made the pesto with leaves from the basil plant in my kitchen. (I've been know to kill any plant in my house - but this basil plant is out of control. So if anyone is looking for fresh basil, give me a call and I'll hook you up.) And then this morning I made an omelet with goat cheese and green peppers. It was really, really yummy.
I'm still drinking the "lawn-mower" green stuff. Every day I'm able to drink a little more than the time before but it's still awful. Apparently it's tolerable when mixed with Apple juice; however, I'm not allowed to have fruit juices in the first phase. So I suffer thru it.
One more week on phase one. I hear the second week is a little harder cause you just get tired of eating the same foods. So I'm trying to keep it interesting.
On Sunday, I'm hopefully going to have truly fresh fish. We're going to my grandparents lake in Newnan, and the plan is to fish. Usually we end up frying the fish, but I'm going to order mine baked cause I can't have bread. But it'll still be yummy. I just have to catch the fish first.
