Day 6:
Okay, sorry I did not post the pic of my pasta dish from Sunday. To be honest, the dish was quite bland. Instead of the Parmesan cheese that was recommended as "optional", I used smoked Gouda. So it made the dish at least have a flavor. That did add calories, but I just shaved the Gouda and only used less than one ounce.
Yesterday's dinner was scrumptious:
I made a swordfish steak and just grilled/steamed it in a tsp. of olive oil and some lemon pepper seasoning. For the side, that is a big portion of sauteed spinach that I cooked with a small amount of water until it wilted and then added a pat of butter (real kind). Also, I cut up 1/2 of an avocado and squeezed some lime onto it. Delicious and low calorie and good fats.
This morning I was up at 3:50AM. I have accomplished so much already. 6 1/2 mile run- check done! Dog walk- check done! Garbage out-check Done! etc. etc. I ran with the running group that meets at 5AM and I am so glad I did. Good run, good friends.
For breakfast today I have had 4 egg whites and 1 small individual package of egg beaters, scrambled with 1 c. spinach and some fresh basil chopped up in it. I did spray my pan with a little olive oil pam. For my "side" I just put a little fresh salsa. That should keep me full till lunch time. Oh, yes, and I am having my chocolate-pistachio green tea with honey. It is the only green tea I like.
Lunch today will be small. Another Bocca Burger and that black bean - avocado - corn dish from Sunday. Snack will be an apple.
Tonight's dinner is at Naples Flatbread and Wine Bar. I will order my favorite dinner, the Mediterranean flatbread. It will be cut in half, as they serve such large portions there. And this is my only wine night. I have not had one glass since 3/31/10 - part of my detox/cleanse plan.
And it is working (down 2 lbs already). I feel better and my run today was a great one. Felt like I could keep on truckin! What is that old adage? You are what you eat. So true.
