Hurray for Chocolate!!

Day Four -- For Kevin this was a good day because of  cheese, for me it was ALL about the CHOCOLATE!!  Dark chocolate at that :-)

Food today was pretty good -- I went Friday and got some Rice Dream -- it was way better than coconut milk.  I was also able to find some flax cereal that met the guidelines -- sweetened with, of all things, raisin juice!!

The combination of this cereal and the rice milk made
breakfast easier this morning.  I did look online and managed to
find this cereal much cheaper than the grocery store.  So if it's
something you want to add to your plan, I suggest finding it online.

For lunch we had a yummy salad of mixed greens with warm sauteed veggies on top, sprinkled with pumpkin seeds and Jack cheese made out of goat's milk. I didn't know until a couple of days ago that you could find goat cheese in any form other than the soft log type.  This cheese was really good - added a little bit of salt - the first salt in a few days.

Snack was homemade carrots and hummus.

And for supper -- more salad, broccoli, and chicken with a really good salsa.  The salsa was cucumber, mango, red onion and cilantro with a little lime juice and cumin to season.  I chopped everything (especially the onions) super small and it was really good on top of the chicken.

Finally -- CHOCOLATE -- 1 oz.  Amazed at how much 1 oz was - I almost couldn't finish it -- seriously, I would have been good with 3/4 of an ounce -- but it was a nice treat.

Kevin is looking forward to day 5 - he gets crackers.  He's missed the salt much more than I.

I am actually enjoying the food, but will say that it feels like I'm in the kitchen all day - now granted some of that is my fault because I'm not making extra's so there are enough for leftovers -- I'd rather cook it two days in a row instead of heating up in the microwave -- plus our microwave is on the fritz - only took 13 years!  I'm trying to decide if I want to replace it - we really don't use it that much.  Anyway, it's cooking, cleaning, then fixing a snack, then cooking again.  It would be a bit harder if I were working - but still possible to do.

Today was the big test of cheese -- we'll see how it goes with weight .....

Update -- I think my body is a little slow kicking in with the cleansing process. I was so tired that I ended up sleeping almost 14 hrs today and was grumpy when I woke up.  I felt extremely cranky for a couple of hours but that did pass. 

Weight loss for the day = .6lbs
total weight loss = 4.2 lbs

Not as much as previous days, but still on the losing side :-)
