I almost lost it around 5 PM today....meaning I almost broke the code of NO CHEATING.
Having my grandaugther all day, though delightful, meant less time and space to care for myself. I didn't take the time to make a thick shake with xanthum powder. My "dinner' was a 1/2 cup of hot chocolate (zero calorie syrup) and 1/2 cup of yoghurt mixed with orange jello. Neither was particularly satisfying, so when I put a platter of crispy fis sticks and a chopped up hot dog out for my grandaughter, I could almost taste every bite she took.
WHen she was done there were about 5 pieces of hot dog left on the plate and they smelled great and I REALLY wanted to pop them in my mouth-- so I quickly dumped them into the dog's dish. She likes hotdogs even more than I do. I could feel myself give a slight inner gasp as she gulped them down.
I don't know what's up with this milk thing-- it just doesn't seem like enough. I don't have hunger pangs like this on veggies days. Everytime I open my fridge. all those leftover fruits and veggies are calling out to me..and I open it a lot since I am feeing others and also getting cold water regularly.
My tongue feels swollen from too many artificial sweeteners. And the milk leaves a sour taste in my mouth.
I'm going to bed early--and looking forward to my 1/2 and egg in the morning.
I spent time this morning in a farmer's market, picking up fresh meat and poultry from my husband. You can imagine the surroundings -- all food in your face, all the time. I had my grandaughter with me and fed her samples of cheese cubes and crackers. Got her a ride on a mechanical horse and then we got out of there. I felt good about not really eyeballing anything in particular. But the strawberries did look mighty tempting.
