Day 14: Texas Last Diet
Had me some scrambled eggs this morning with the rest of the chopped bell pepper, onion flakes, and a bit of garlic powder. They were good, but now I'm beginning to understand why Vikki suggested that I might get tired of eating the same thing every day. Nothing is bad, it's just that I'm feeling a bit of variety would be nice.
So I'm going to the closet to get ready for work, and I notice that there, behind the winter coats and Halloween vampire cape, there are several of my skinny shirts. I thought to myself, "One day soon I'll be able to wear these again." I tried one on, and it fit perfectly. I was so happy. Now, I realize that my truly skinny shirts have either gone to Goodwill or a museum years ago, but these shirts are among the last ones that I simply couldn't wear two weeks ago. None of the others fit yet, but I remember moving this particular shirt out of circulation because it hugged my belly too tight, and when I sat down, all the buttons puckered. Now I can sit, and even bend over, and the shirt fits fine. Maybe I should wear it for weigh-in tomorrow. Hey, you grab success any way you can, right?
Lunch was soup and salad. And dinner was really good too. I found this sliced steak strips, paper thin, in the supermarket. I don't know what it is designed for, probably an Asian dish for stir fry. Anyway, the steak is so thin that it cooks instantly. I put a bit of water and garlic powder in a frying pan, but in a cup of asparagus tips, and another of broccoli. I covered it, and waited for the water to dissappear. The veggies were just right, so I put in quick spray of olive oil Pam, and threw in the strips of meat with salt, pepper, Italian herbs, and some of the amino (replacing soy sauce) and tossed it until the steak was cooked. It was so good.
I noticed sometime this afternoon that I'm not feeling that craving for carbohydrates like before. I was feeling a definite lack of something, even after I ate, but that seems to have gone away. I hope that doesn't mean that I messed things up. Though my breath continues to remind me that either a small demon has moved into my mouth, or I'm still in ketosis. What a great thing that will be if that craving goes away for good, because I haven't suffered at all today.
I had my Nacho chips for snack, and really feel that it was a good day today.
