Day 6

what a challenge - it was a protein day and i had a couple of social obligations. because i'm in my first week, i didn't was to fudge the schedule so i stayed with it as much as possible.

morning shake

mid morning -one hard cooked egg sans yolk, 1 oz of cooked chicken breast (last night's leftovers)

lunch -i was out shopping with a friend and afterward we stopped for a quick bite. the broth from my bowl of posole. i ate what little there was of the meat and cabbage and managed to avoid the posole (hominy). brought the goodies home for my hubby who enjoyed every bite :) i was still hungry at 4pm, so i cooked a pork 'n' beef patty, had an ounce of almonds and my passion drink.

mid-afternoon snack - so, out with another friend to listen to her husband sing in the band he's in. avoided cocktails and drank lemon water as we sat through two sets of music. afterward, everyone was hungry. we made our way to a nearby restaurant and i ordered a grilled shrimp/prawn cocktail appetizer with a citrus salsa, and a cup of cream of broccoli soup. i ate the prawns (6 of 'em), left the salsa which was mostly citrus and pineapple. in the soup i left the croutons.

for dessert my girlfriend and my husband shared a chocolate mousse, while her husband and i watched them enjoy their little treat. since i've never really had sugar cravings i had no problem watching them eat it, thoroughly enjoying each bite. if it were allowed, i would have been satisfied with just one bite. at least that's one struggle i don't have to combat!


because it was after 10pm when we got home i passed on the shake and stayed up until midnight so i wouldn't sleep on a full stomach. i wasn't full so i think i'm okay, even if i was on an oddball time schedule.
