Ups and downs of getting started
Jul 9th, 2008 by Sandra
Monday I didn’t eat too much during the day – mostly crackers and cottage cheese. I just didn’t feel that well. Had a cheeseburger and fries for dinner. Finished off a large bag of potato chips I’d had left over from the weekend.
Tuesday I had some cottage cheese for breakfast, a wrap for lunch, but by the afternoon I was feeling really, really bad. I had some cereal which helped a little. For dinner my son, Dave, made what has to be one of the best steaks I’ve ever had on the grill along with about 2/3 of a cup of rice and veggie mix. Not the greatest thing, but I did feel better after eating the steak (a NY strip.) Before going to be I had two all-beef hot dogs with a bit of mustard and relish (no sugar.) I really think the protein helped since I was able to sleep for six hours straight – which is not usual for me.
This is Wednesday and I woke up feeling much, much better. I made myself two scrambled eggs (cage free) and two pieces of bacon (non-cured with no additives.) The gal who is helping me with the re-orgainzing of my home after remodel was here and we worked for close to three hours. About two hours into it I was hungry so had some of the Probiotic cottage cheese that is just so good. For lunch I made a wrap with the La Tortilla Factory Tortillas Low Carb Whole Wheat Original 7″ that I spread a small blend of mayo, mustard, and relish, then added a piece of Swiss Cheese and 2 slices of thin sliced ham. I rolled it up, cut it in a few pieces, and enjoyed. And most of all I feel much better. For dinner we’ll have bbq chicken on the grill, a salad, and maybe a small baked potato.
Will write later on in the week with an update on the next few days.
