Day 9.....

Well, I did it!  One complete week and one work week down. 

I will say that I am not really craving the food I used to love....I'm just not interested in it anymore.  Tonight I went to the carnival at Jefferson school, of course I ate before I went.  But the kid needed to eat, so I sat there with her while she ate.  I wasn't even tempted, not one bit.  There was a whole table of baked goods sitting right there, and me, who normally can't get enough of that kind of stuff - didn't want it.  No wonder the weight is coming off!

Dinner at church Wednesday night was also interesting.  I had called ahead to see what they were having - soup, salad, and then lots of veggies.  Well, when I got there - the soup I thought I could pick the meat out of was way too packed with it to even try.  The salad ended up being Cesar Salad - ugh - good thing they had lots of fixings for the sandwiches.   I took a sandwich - gave the insides to the older child and made a veggie sandwich and ate the other veggies they had.

I've been contemplating how I plan to eat when I am out.  I am okay with doing just vegetarian in those moments.  Like I told someone this week - I'm not doing this to protest anything or be radical.  I'm doing it to get/be healthy.  The real test will come at my next blood draw in March.

I won't say it has been easy planning meals.  Anyone who knows me knows I don't like to cook.  I have found plenty of recipes- but I need to find some that don't take too long to make.  Or do what I did with the lasagna - make it on a day off and stock it up in the freezer.

Thanks for stopping by...........
