ocmomof3 Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 So 4th is coming up & I'm feeling super sick of turkey, avocado,chicken, steak & eggs... I've made salads, fajita salads, burgers, zucchini pasta... Seriously feel like I've mixed it up yet still bored. I'm avoiding social situations for the most part this holiday & my birthday is coming up and I'm bumming on the rigidity of this whole diet. I'm sad that I can't eat a clean dessert for my b-day and bummed watching people eat freaking pizza at work. Feeling cranky. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrsRobinson Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Yep, the fourth is coming, and all of the good things about it-- getting together with family and friends, running around outside with kids lighting sparklers, fireworks, going to parks, all of that is still yours to enjoy. Buy yourself some ripe, glorious fruit to have with meals on your birthday. This year you can celebrate doing something really good and life-giving for yourself. This effort, and the satisfaction of having stayed the course, will last a lot longer than the momentary pleasure of a dessert. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GFChris Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Another way to look at it is all the wonderful things you CAN eat. Add some unique vegetables: maybe shoot for a new veg each week. Mix it up with different frittata and crustless quiche recipes. Gazpacho is yummy this time of year. Chili, meatballs, meatloaf. Use the outdoor grill to griil steaks, lamb tips, pork, chicken and fish. Check out the Recipe Sharing section of the forum for added inspiration.

MrsRobinson Posted July 3, 2013 Share Posted July 3, 2013 Oooh, find some gorgeous tomatoes and make fresh salsa. And put it on top of grilled fish. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
