Day 16

So yesterday, I didn't eat breakfast because I woke up pretty late and had to take a shower, so I didn't have much time before lunch. I was alone with my brother, and there was one chicken strip left from the day before I think, so i said I would have it, and he could have pizza. I pulled the chicken into strips, and put it in water with 2 bouillon cubes, teriyaki sauce, and some cayenne pepper and nature's seasoning. I also added some bacon fat and butter for more fat. This is one of the reasons I love Depression-era type cooking. Because I think I'd be pretty good at it. The soup filled me up really well, plus it had an amazingly strong flavor.

Even though it did fill me up, I kept thinking about how good it would be to have a snack. I wasn't hungry, but I was craving food, especially chocolate and pistachios. At around 3 I finally allowed myself to have a snack, and I ate a banana, pistachios, cashews, and chocolate.

Later, we went to Chick-fil-a for dinner. I ordered a side salad and Spicy Chargrilled Chicken sandwich, sans bread, but they gave me pickles and bread, and it tasted kind of different. I only ate half of it and gave the rest to my dad and brother.

I was hungry later, and managed to avoid having ice cream or any candy from the isles at Publix, but by having the same thing I did earlier. It was very filling, and after I wasn't really hungry anymore, I really didn't have any desire to eat anything bad.


"See" you all tomorrow!

Days 14 and 15

 

(Pork Loin))

Sorry for doing another joint post! I forgot to write one yesterday, so I'm just combining it with yesterday's food. :)

So let's get started! So on Saturday, I didn't have breakfast because I woke up at around 10 a.m. When I did eat lunch, I had pork loin and salad, and I kind of sauteed the pork loin in olive oil and teriyaki sauce. It was very good.

Day 13

Sorry I didn't update for yesterday...yesterday! Is it boring without a picture? Because I don't have one for yesterday. :/

So, I cheated last night, but on ice cream, so no wheat! :) I'll get to that in a minute. So I started yesterday out with 2 hard boiled eggs (whites only) for breakfast. For lunch, we had picked up some preformed meatballs from Publix, so we cooked those up along with some green beans. They were amazing, and I wish I'd gotten a picture, but I'd eaten everything before I remembered. I didn't look at the label, so I'm not sure what they were made with, but I think I saw some onions, as well as some kind of green herb on top.

Day 12

Sorry I didn't update for yesterday, but I got reading and then it was time to sleep. I have noticed that I am having more trouble saying no to some foods after eating wheat. I have cravings for bread and pastries as well as random stuff that I see, that I know I shouldn't eat. I'm reigning it back in, so hopefully I won't have the cravings after a while. I do think I'm getting enough fat now, though. I'm not really hungry at night anymore, and it really does help with the cravings.

Day 11

I didn't take any pictures of my food yesterday! :( I was going to, and then I started eating...so yeah.

So yesterday, I started out my day knowing I was going to my brother's school for a school function they were having, and he had told me that they would have hamburgers and hotdogs, so I'd already decided that I'd rather just get a plain hamburger without a bun than a hotdog, because even though hamburgers may be made with wheat, I really have no idea what makes a hotdog, or if they're even that safe. I got there and they were grilling only hotdogs and putting them in buns for the kids. So I got in line and saw there were no forks so I just ate mine with a bun. :/ I really didn't want to embarrass my brother by eating my hotdog with my hands, like some kind of caveman. ;) I also had a sprite because they had no water. I know, it confused me too. I guess they figured no kid was going to drink water so why bother? I actually didn't feel that bad after having those things, but I tried to keep my consumption of them down, only having 1 hotdog and 1 can of soda, while my brother had 3 hotdogs and 2 cans of coke. It was a party though...

Days 9 and 10

AHHH! I feel so behind! I forgot to update yesterday and the day before, so I'm going to do quick rundowns of my foods for both days.

So the day before yesterday, the 18th, I believe, I ate pretty well. I had berries for breakfast, and we were going to have steak for lunch, but it was greenish-brown, so we decided we should be safe rather than sorry, so we threw it out. We then invited my Uncle to lunch. I thought about going to Southern Grill, but they serve almost everything over either pasta or rice, and I really didn't feel like cheating, so I suggested Mojo's. I got the 2 meat Lunch Special, for which I ordered pulled chicken and smoked turkey. I got a side salad and took off the croutons and also got green beans, which my dad ate. It did come with bread, but I set it aside and wasn't really tempted by it.

Day 8

So I didn't get a chance to write a blog post last night, so I'm writing one this morning. And don't worry, I'll definitely write one tonight. So yesterday, I had a big meetup group to go to, and I needed to get ready for it, so I had the night before. I mostly stayed sitting down, eating blueberries and strawberries for breakfast. I think I also ate some cashews because I was hungry, but I don't really remember because it was yesterday morning.

I wasn't really hungry until lunch, when we went to Woody's BBQ. I got the BBQ chicken, which I think is like 1/2 a chicken breast, and a thigh. I ordered salad with it and fried corn. The corn was really good, but I regret getting it. Not to make this TMI, but it made my stomach hurt really badly. I think I read that this is because it's basically an indegestible starch. Plus, I hadn't had corn since I got my braces, which was like 6 months ago. I would advise against eating corn, but you can try it if you want to see what it does to you. :/

I went to my meetup, and then when we got home it was 3:30 p.m. and I was fairly hungry so I picked up a plate and filled it with soft mozzarella cheese, regular mozzarella cheese, blueberries, chocolate covered strawberries, and cashews. There were pecans, but I didn't eat any.

I was full until dinner after that. We had a rotisserie chicken from Publix (which I know has some bad stuff in it, but I think that's mostly from the seasoning.) I didn't really eat the skin or fat from it, so I'm not sure if that's good or bad. I had some lettuce and no more than a 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes. I felt uncomfortably full after this meal.

I did eat a snack after a while however. I had some almond butter and a couple strawberries.

So this is really all I ate today. Ultimately, I feel like I did really well this weekend. Even at restaurants where I usually eat badly, I was able to stay away from those foods. It's getting easier to not eat the things I shouldn't, and if I do, I find myself regretting eating them because of how they make me feel.

I will update with my MFP totals when I get a chance.

Thanks for reading! "See" You all later!
