Day Eighteen

Morning - I am feeling so good today.  I am finding that I have more satisfaction with daytime foods without carbs than I felt a couple of weeks ago.  My body seems to be making the shift to not crave carbs so much and I seem to be more naturally tending to proteins and veggies.  I must admit, I miss having fruit in the morning but for now I will leave that for evenings only.  Sadly, I got up late this morning and washing my hair had highest priority so I blew out the door without breakfast.  Not good and a habit from the past that I need to work to not slide back into.

Afternoon - I LOVED my lunch today.  I didn't go home.  Was in the mood for a GOOD salad.  Went to A.J.'s and had something called Choppie's Salad.  It is a mixture of lettuce, cabbages, and carrots for color.  I told them to leave out the tomatoes.  It also had chicken chunks and shaved almonds.  Dressing was some Asian thing.

My big triumph today was sending the bread back.  You have to understand - A.J.'s toasted butter/garlic bread is sublime.  It sat there for a moment on the plate.  Then I moved it to a napkin on the other side of the table.  Then I started fantasizing about the darn thing and creating justification in my head.  Eventually I got the attention of the waitress and she removed it.  Yay!!!!

CINDA - I like the oatmeal with goodies and green tea suggestions.  I think I will have that for dinner one night.  I love chunky oatmeal.
