Day One....or Green lemonade isn't really that bad!


Day one is almost ended.  It has been okay so far.  I don't have a headache....yet. Hoping for the best on that one! Here is what will be on the menu for days 1-4!

BREAKFAST: Green Lemonade...which is basically water, green, fresh lemon juice and stevia.  For me...it must be COLD. Like, really cold. 
1 cup of gluten-free oats with cinnamon and stevia.

Stevia is a natural plant sweetener that doesn't affect your blood sugar. It's really sweet BUT.....if you use to much it has a horrible bitter aftertaste! Which I did on my oatmeal....lesson learned. 

LUNCH: Baked potato drizzled with flax oil and chopped chives.
 Green lemonade.

DINNER: Hippo soup-which is potatoes, tomatoes, onion, leek,celery and garlic.  No salt.  As much as I want.
Cucumber Tomato Salad-cucumbers, tomatoes and red onion with a little Apple Cider Vinegar and fresh basil. 

A little tip I learned today was this: You can put a tablespoon of Chia seeds in some water and drink it down to lose that hungry feeling in your stomach!  I did it....I like Chia! I bet the gooey-ness would make some of you hurl!

Drinking a ton of water and keeping busy!  Day 2 will be a little easier!  Can't wait for days 5-7....Green Smoothies WITH FRUIT! WooHoo!

Day 11

Ugh! I woke up with a headache today...! I wondered why last week I had some cravings for chocolate, etc. Duh! I started my period.....again! But...I made it through the cravings and have not strayed from program at all! Not once! I did smell the bread bag again...but I didn't indulge. My mindset has changed so much...I really think this is going to work for me! I am really never hungry and if I am...I know I will get to eat soon. It is pretty awesome.
Just wish the headache would go away!

I'm gonna go have another drink of water~

Day 5

Today was pretty good! I ate my first scrambled eggs and decided that the microwave is NOT the way to cook them. Again, the texture was weird...so I will try them again tomorrow after cooking on the stove. Tabasco is my friend. They weren't that bad really. Better than oatmeal...but that's not saying much.
I was hungrier than normal....i am sure it's because I haven't been as diligent with the water. I also was tempted more than any other day...I have noticed if I eat gum, or drink diet soda I am more likely to want something sweet...so no more! No extras except sugar free jello...if I need it!
