Today is #2 for me. I woke up fine but throughout the day I have been tired. I do not know if I can attribute it to the absence of sugar or to my private Pilates class yesterday or to both. I guess I will know more tomorrow.
I had to leave my house in a hurry today so I did not get to eat breakfast. Bad mistake because one thing led to another and I did not eat until 4PM. So I quickly put this salad together and ate it. This is only half of what I prepared and I ate it all.
Arugula, walnut, goat cheese & raisin salad
3.5 oz of arugula
2.5 goat cheese
a handful of walnuts
a handful raisins
combine all ingredients and add extra virgin olive oil or a homemade balsamic vinaigrette
I used to have craisins in this salad but they have 40% added sugar to them. Who knew? Anyway the bag of arugula I purchased was 7oz. I was so hungry that I prepared another salad. Well I took about 2 bites and I was done. It took a few minutes for my brain to register I was full. That was cool. I had read to wait 20 minutes before having seconds. Something I must practice.
Now I have an awesome tasting salad in the refrigerator and I am hoping it does not wilt too much by the time I get to it tomorrow. Yuck! I do know a few people that like wilted salad but it is not for me. I do not know if I will snack later tonight since it is late. If I do I will edit this post in the morning.
Oh it looks like I lost 1 pound already. I know our weight fluctuates but I will check my weight again in the morning.
Today I consumed:
16 oz of water with fresh squeezed lemon
32 oz of water
a large arugula salad with walnuts, goats cheese and raisins
1 banana
2 oz grass fed cow cheddar cheese
Nothing is sweeter than you!
