Day 13, Thursday

Day 13, June 23, 2011

Breakfast: Fruit salad consisting of eclipse melon, pineapple, watermelon (for me only), grapes, and mango.

Snack: I had a bowl of watermelon and my spouse had a banana with natural peanut butter.

Lunch: For lunch I had grapes and an ear of corn. For lunch my spouse had an ear of corn with a side salad of fruit, and a handful of carrots.

Snack:  I was finally able to have my granny smith apple halved with natural peanut butter (1.5 tablespoons total) to myself. When I am home and my apple is tempting up (I am a bit of a temperature snob in regards to food) my spouse will normally beg me to share my apple. My spouse often states that because it is mine, it makes it taste all the better. My spouse had a pear.

Dinner: Dinner was wonderful as usual. It is still hard to vision where we were just a few weeks ago: our meat portions out of whack, our going out to eat and over eating frenzies and the likes. So back to dinner, we had a half an ear of corn with a side of red kidney and black beans with garlic and a spinach salad with avocado, pickles, olives, tomatoes, onions, and a teaspoon of dried cranberries and golden raisins.

Snack: Like I mentioned, I tried tea with cotton honey but it did not work for me. I think I got down three sips before calling it quits. My spouse consumed both teas as a result. We also had a veggie drink of celery, cucumber, kale, lime, a green apple, and spinach.

Overall: I am starting to get a little antsy over the thought of incorporating something new (grains) in two days. I think I am always worried about how we will feel with the new implemented foods and how it will affect our holistic health, fitness, and weight loss goals. But overall today was another good day and I have not been able to complain to much other than the cotton honey. The cotton honey is by no means a sour wood honey. I loved sour wood honey and feel a little lost without it. I think I may try having hot water with lime and honey and see if I can slowly warm up to the cotton honey. But we will see.
