If someone had told me 10 days ago that I would make it 10 days without carbs, sugar, dairy, or alcohol (not the hardest one) I would've laughed. I'm a girl who loves her cereal. Its so EASY! Bowl, cereal, milk, time to eat! I really don't enjoy cooking and I want to eat when I'm hungry- not plan an hour ahead that I might be hungry then or be hungry and then have to cook for 30 minutes after the fact. I at least give myself props that instead of going out and spending money I just have a bowl of cereal, but I guess I'm really not feeding my body the way I should. STILL. I'm bored. I'm bored with out bread to sop up my egg yolks. I want to have a cookie or two. Not the whole bag or as many as I can fit into my mouth- just a couple.
Breakfast: 2 Eggs and Bacon
Snack: Hard boiled Egg and Banana
Lunch: NY Strip Steak and vegetables from Center Club
Snack: Apple and Almonds
Dinner: 2 Eggs and 3 spoonfuls of applesauce
A Story about lunch out: A partner at my work offered to take me to lunch and I had to explain that I couldn't have a bunch of stuff, but he assured me that Center Club in Costa Mesa right near our work would have something. We sit down and there are Parmesan bread crisps on the table with butter. As I peruse the menu I notice that most things have potatoes- well can't have those so I'll just ask for double vegetables. I figure steak is the safest as I can ask for it without any sauce. This waiter is looking at me with daggers in his eyes as I'm modifying everything on the plate. I ask for medium well strip steak (I find places under cook my steak- they didn't = /), no potatoes, and double asparagus. I also asked whether the vegetables were sauteed in butter and they were so I asked them to saute in something else. What I got was a menagerie of vegetables- brussel sprouts, green beans, bok choy, beets, and asparagus and a hunk of meat. I definitely missed the potatoes to dip my steak in- for me they balance out a meal like that. I didn't have any problems after so either they lied and my body liked it or they did do the vegetables in something else.
Overall my resolve is waivering. Is it day 31 yet so I can add stuff back in? I weighed myself- yeah I know I'm not supposed to, but I was hoping it would make me feel like the sacrifices were worth it. I've lost 3 lbs. I dunno I'm not impressed. I understand that it's supposed to be a sacrifice and change our eating forever, but I think I'm more under the camp I only have one life and I'd like to eat what I want within reason. = )
