Back to the grind on this Monday, and also back to Crossfit! I took off all of last week. Why I dread it so much is beyond me. When I finish a class I'm so glad that I went. Then I'm back to dreading it... who knows. I committed to it for at least the next month. Then I'll see where I am! As for the plan:
Changes: Still down 6 pounds from original weight
Today I had:
Breakfast: Coffee -- two cups today, granola, and fruit
Lunch: Carrott Soup (I had it on hand and was in a hurry)
Snack: Rye Toast and hummus
Dinner: Leftover steak and roasted veggies (The Plan calls for it today - yay! I had left overs in the fridge!)
Things are going well and not as bad as I had thought. I do think the intake of water on this diet makes a huge difference! I can tell if I don't get my required amount of water every day. I'm sleeping well, have had no restless leg symptoms, and my swelling is down! That's success in my book!
On the 7th day of The Plan, you rest. This means that you eat no "reactive" food and give your body a chance to rest. As the plan goes on, more reactive foods are introduced. Due to this, they recommend resting every other day from now through the end. Rest day even includes unsalted potato chips... my kind of Plan! :)
Since I'm a week in, I will say there've been a few things I've decided. I do not like coconut or rice milk. I do not pour anything on my granola like it calls for. I bought it, tried it, and do not like it. Life is too short to choke things down! As for coffee, a splash of cream (the real deal) or half and half is what I prefer. It also seems to be working for me. The fat content is higher than milk, however it is processed differently than milk and does not seem to be bother me.
I'm not a fan of kale. I wish I could fall in love with it, but it just doesn't appeal to me. I see it in the case at HEB and Whole Foods, and have bought it with the hope that I would eat. It seems to sit in the fridge and then make it to the trash. Kale and I are breaking up. ;)
