Today wasn’t as bad as yesterday.
My plan originally had been to follow the recommendation of no grains (for people who have a hard time losing weight), but I’ve decided that I need to include some, so I had half of the allowed amount of rice today. I think one of the big problems I’m running into right now is the feeling of very little variety. Yes, I’m eating lots of different fruits, but when it comes to veggies, it just feels like everything green is more or less the same. Maybe that will get better in time.
So, this morning was again banana, flax, strawberries and blueberries; lunch was the very end of the leftover cabbage and peas, salad and kidney beans, with a clementine; a granny smith apple for a snack; and then baby broccoli with 1/2 cup of rice, along with garlic, onion and nutritional yeast. (I’m hoping the nutritional yeast is okay). I had a handful of walnuts a bit later.
I didn’t get the snow day that I was hoping for today, so I ended up at work- which was fine, because it was very slow. I got my whole hour for lunch! I also started prepping more veggies for tomorrow- which I’m hoping will help with the monotony, by planning ahead. 🙂 I think that’s probably a big key!
5 weeks and 3 days to go…
I shouldn’t say that. I can see the “life” plan being very doable. I just hope that I start actually craving green veggies the way that I crave french fries…
