BREAKFAST: one slice of rye toast with almond butter and, you guessed it, a banana. I also had a coffee with International Delight. The coffee is allowed...the creamy stuff was a no-no.
LUNCH: large salad with chicken, chick peas and kidney beans
SNACK: 100 calorie packet of chocolate covered pretzels
DINNER: chicken with mushrooms, chick peas and peppers with brown rice and peas
I am in my 'lunar phase' so I am really hungry and riddled with cravings.
I know I failed to mention that I drink a minimum of three litres of water a day. Generally I have close to two litres gone by 10ish. Many times we mistake thirst for hunger so it is very important to drink frequently...unfortunately it can't be vodka so don't misconstrue my words.
All said, it wasn't a bad day. I weighed myself and since Monday a.m. I was three pounds lighter.
Anyone who is familiar with the Carb Lovers Diet will recognize I am not following it according to the book. I appreciate it's guidance and try to mimic the nutritional guidelines they establish. I am so completely fatigued from radiation therapy that preparing my own lunch and sometimes dinner is too much. I buy premade salads from Sobeys for lunch on my way to the Cancer Centre. As soon as I get home I eat and fall asleep for at least an hour, sometimes two. I'm looking forward to renewed energy in the next month or so...then I will definitely start to look like Kiera Knightly - lol.
For now I will take the three pound loss and try to drop another three by Monday.
