Day 3

I had a headache all day today – I think it is because of the sugar detox. I really hope that I won’t have to go through this every time I eat a little bit. I hope that my weekly “free” meals won’t be a detriment to me. I guess I’ll just have to make sure that I stay in control and not have too much.

Food today wasn’t the best. I didn’t really have time for breakfast today so I grabbed a handful of Cheerios and ate a piece of fruit leather. I made sure to drink my water, so I didn’t feel too hungry right off. I did lots of grocery shopping today and that was hard because I hadn’t eaten very much. Thankfully, I was strong and didn’t buy anything I shouldn’t have had, but I did buy more than was on my list. I’m not sure that’s related to food.

For lunch I went to Sweet Tomatoes with a friend. I don’t know what to think about lunch. I made pretty good choices, except for the dressing (I didn’t choose the lowfat one), but I still think I had too much food. I got a plate full of salad to start out with (and I didn’t completely finish the plate), then I got cottage cheese with grapes (a small portion), a piece of wheat bread, and some asian soup. So the food I chose was good, but it was a lot. Still, I didn’t feel bloated or REALLY full when I left, but if I had all that food out in front of me at the same time, it would have looked like a lot of food. I don’t know…

I didn’t eat until dinner time, although I was feeling like I wanted a little snack. I drank my water and that helped…plus I was watching a movie so I didn’t notice as much. For dinner I made tacos – ground turkey, onions, brown rice, and chili beans as the base, with queso fresco, cilantro, tomatoes, avocados, spinach, and lowfat sour cream as toppings, and pan fried corn tortillas. I also had organic corn chips and salsa. It was all so wonderful and tasty!!! I am worried again that I ate too much. I don’t feel overly full, in fact, I had room for a little cutie orange. I just worry that I’m still not doing so well on portion sizes. I still need to train my body and stomach that less food is okay. Perhaps that will be my goal for the rest of the week.

On a positive side, I found these Stevia packets that I put in my tea tonight and it is wonderful! Actually, it’s almost too sweet. I might try just a half packet – so I can get used to less sweetener.
