JulieP757 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 I slept in until 9:30 this morning - like 10 hours of sleep. I had put the room darkening curtains up last night and the house was cool and quiet. I'm surprised I'm not still sleeping It took about an hour to cook up the breakfast hash and I didn't start it until 10. Since I am running so late, I decided to skip M1. I'll have an extra hearty M2 w a big serving of the breakfast hash topped with 4 eggs. That should hold me til dinner. I hate getting off schedule - it will really screw me up come Monday when I have to work again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 Well, my eyes were definitely bigger than my stomach. I added a whole avocado for fat to my brunch and I ate all of that, but only was able to eat about 2/3 of the breakfast hash and eggs. I'll save it in case I get hungry before dinner tonight.

JulieP757 Posted July 16, 2016 Author Share Posted July 16, 2016 I did end up having the rest of my M1 late in the afternoon. M3 is blackened grouper topped w the best batch of homemade mayo I've made to date - tastes just like Hellmann's - about 1/3 of a baked potato w ghee and roasted veggies (green beans, carrots, cauliflower, yellow squash) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted July 18, 2016 Author Share Posted July 18, 2016 M1 - leftover blackened grouper, 1/3 leftover baked potato sautéed until crispy in ghee and roasted veggies.

Topped w homemade vinaigrette and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds and apple juice sweetened cranberries. I'm ready for my clothes not to be tight.

JulieP757 Posted July 19, 2016 Author Share Posted July 19, 2016 What a miserable HANGRY day. I toughed it out and did not snack and M3 was late because we were upgrading our phones at the Verizon store. I felt like I needed meat and potatoes, so I had ribeye steak, a small sweet potato w coconut oil and roasted veggies w ghee. Hoping all that fat helps make me satisfied. I am contemplating eating either a peach or some cantaloupe. M1 was breakfast hash cooked in coconut oil topped w 2 over easy eggs M2 was a large salad w kale, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, broccoli, green pepper, tomato, cucumber and half an avocado topped w homemade vinaigrette and a sprinkle of pumpkin seeds and dried cranberries. For protein, I ate a large serving of West African stew. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Yesteday's M3 was ribeye steak, small baked sweet potato w coconut oil and roasted veggies Today was a SUPER HUNGRY DAY. I was miserable until about 3 pm when I finally got full. M1 - 7 :30 am - generous serving of breakfast hash (about 2 cups) topped w 3 over easy eggs all cooked in a Tbsp of ghee, black coffee M2- 11:30 - 2 roasted chicken thighs, 3 cups of roasted veggies and a heaping Tbsp of ghee M3- 2:30 - 2 more roasted chicken thighs, about 1/2 cup green olives, a small sweet potato w a generous tablespoon of coconut oil and 1/4 cup coconut. I FINALLY felt satisfied after this meal. Good thing, because I attended a funeral service where there was a ton of noncompliant food. Mini-meal 4-9:00- a few bites of leftover steak, about 1/2 cup roasted veggies and about 1/2 cup cantaloupe. I drank a ton of water today to make sure I wasn't just thirsty. Hope tomorrow is a normal hunger day. Oh I had a non-scale victory of sorts. I tried on a bunch of dresses getting ready for the funeral and was able to zip up several that I hadn't been able to zip up two months ago. I still felt like a stuffed sausage in most of them, but at least there is progress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted July 20, 2016 Author Share Posted July 20, 2016 Morning everyone! Food today: M1 - breakfast hash topped w 3 over easy eggs, black coffee M2 - roasted chicken thighs w mayo to dip, at least 3 c roasted veggies M3 - going out w the bf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JulieP757 Posted July 21, 2016 Author Share Posted July 21, 2016 Well dinner out with the bf was an epic FAIL. We went to a local seafood place that we have been to before and I got a salad that was described on the menu as shrimp and crabmeat on top of greens with veggies. No mention whatsoever of cheese. I have had this salad before and it was a nice green salad with cucumbers, tomatoes and red onion topped with seafood. I even brought my own dressing so I'd be 100% compliant. About 2 bites into it, I noticed something that looked like shredded parmesan cheese. The restaurant was super busy - no sign of our waitress, so I ate the seafood off the top and the cucumber and tomato. I think I may have had a shred or two of parmesan before I noticed it, which makes me very unhappy. They took it off the check and offered to make me another salad, but it was late. I'm glad I had half a sweet potato and some olives before we went out. Just had two bites of tuna and half an avocado because my stomach was growling. Oh well - I tried. I already know cheese is a problem for me, so I didn't ruin any reintroduction effort. I'll just continue on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieP757 Posted July 24, 2016 Author Share Posted July 24, 2016 I spent the day in the pool - literally in it because the heat index was about 110 degrees. The water resistance actually made my back feel a little better and I got a lot of sun. M2 was spaghetti squash topped w meat sauce made with lots of ground turkey and a side of roasted veggies. I stirred a tbsp of coconut oil into the whole mess. It was time to eat dinner when I got out of the pool, but I had errands to run. I had about half a chicken thigh, a handful of olives and a cherry pie Larabar. Yeah - I could have done without the Larabar. Later, I made a salad topped with the other one and a half chicken thighs, but I could only eat about half of it. I'm done for the day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JulieP757 Posted July 26, 2016 Author Share Posted July 26, 2016 I spent my lunch hour on a float in the community pool. Came back and could not dial into work. The network had been wonky all day and when I called the help desk, he told me he had fielded hundreds of calls about the dial in issue (there are a lot of teleworkers at my company). I tried for an hour and finally gave up. Texted my boss and told him I was taking a half day of vacation (he told me just go have fun - I LOVE him). I got back in the pool until 4 pm. Then I ran a few errands, whipped up some beanless chili, chopped a head of cabbage, a bell pepper and some onion and grated a couple of carrots and made a big batch of slaw mix. Made regular slaw dressing for the kids and a batch of mayo and salad dressing for me. Made a batch of ghee, roasted 6 chicken thighs and prepped the usually green beans, cauliflower, carrots and squash for roasting. WHEW! Good thing I had the afternoon off with so much to do!
