Well yesterday kind of sucked because I had my first craving, but today I've felt pretty satisfied with everything I've been eating and I haven't been craving anything. My spirits are totally back on track and I feel good. I also have noticed that my appetite is not as out of control as it used to be. After a meal I'm not hungry for at least 4 hours. I've actually been struggling just to eat my minimum calories required, because I don't feel hungry!
Here's what I ate today:
Breakfast: coffee with almond milk, 1 hard boiled egg, 1 scrambled egg and 2 pieces of bacon (I was munching on random things as you can see)
Lunch: Beef curry with carrots, onions, and parsnips over a bed of steamed broccoli and cauliflower (it ended up being kind of like beef broccoli and it was great! and even though I normally put potatoes in curry, the parsnips were nice!)
Dinner: Sweet and Spicy Seared Tuna with Cilantro, something I whipped up tonight to mimic one of my favorite sushi dishes which features ponzu sauce, seared tuna, jalapeno, and cilantro. It's always great to make a dish that has a real good sauce, but let me just point out that this recipe has TWO sauces: a buttery hot sauce, and a sweet honey lime sauce!! I saw no reason to limit myself to just one sauce, and it was great. Every bite of this tuna was like a little surprise in my mouth! Sometimes you'd get a spicy bite, and sometimes you'd get a sweet one!
Snacks: Fruit smoothie made with strawberries and coconut milk, and (at various times) almonds and pecans
So, all in today today was a pretty good day. Also, I'm getting a lot of ideas about how to make this diet more convenient and inexpensive, and I have a new post in the works, so stay tuned!
