If you've been keeping up you know I started Lyn Genet's "the plan" anti-diet and loved it!! But then before I could really get it majorly going real life happened. (One of these days I'm going to figure out how to keep that from occurring!!) So between working 10-12hrs a day and trying to keep my family fed, it was just way too much to try and add time to cook another set of meals for me, so I put it on pause for a while -- 3 weeks. Good news is that in that time with all the craziness of whatever I only gained 2 of the lbs I had lost!!
After being on the diet for 12 days I could definitely tell a difference, not so much while I was doing it, but for sure after I quit. I didn't realize how much pain I actually lived with on a daily basis until it was gone and then back again!! So, I decided to go back to it and yesterday was the first day.
If I had known what the day would bring, I probably would have waited until another day, but I had already put it off by one day -- I had wanted to start Friday, so went ahead and took the plunge. Breakfast was right on track -- more "yummy" flax granola!! with fresh blueberries - another thing I'm not thrilled about eating. Lunch was going to be carrot soup, fresh greens, and steamed broccoli. I managed to get the broccoli part right. I spent the morning in the cafeteria helping with lunch, my family ended up going home to eat and I didn't bother to fix anything - just pigged out on the fresh steamed broccoli in the cafe. Supper was back on track with sauteed veggies in the coconut sauce - that has to be an all time favorite - and carrot beet salad. I am surprised I like the salad so much, but it's really good, especially when you add a little orange zest olive oil to it.
Here's to feeling good, eating healthy, and enjoying the added benefit of a little weight loss!! Will post results tomorrow.
