Day 10

Made it through another day. Today is the last day of just fruits and vegetables. Tomorrow I can start eating organic meat. My Day 10 e-mail says "by now, you should be craving meat".....it's more like I'm craving cheese and pasta and bread and Mexican food! Tortilla chips and margaritas! Ok, I gotta calm down, take a deep breath and remind myself that this is temporary, I'll be able to eat all those foods, if I want, when this is over. I also have to remind myself how good my system feels right now. I do feel good, my stomach doesn't get upset, I don't have gas, I've lost weight and the fruits and vegetables agree with me more than all those processed foods I was eating before. I paid good money for this program and I can't blow it. I'm about half way through and I'll get through the rest of the way.

By now I have found a very regular food routine. Shake for breakfast, lunch is Lentils, butternut squash, 1/2 yam, an apple an orange and 1 or 2 containers of cut veggies. The fruit I eat as a snack between Bfast and lunch. One of the containers of veggies I eat in the afternoon. On the day I hike, I double the lentils to a full cup.

Dinner is where I will vary from day to day. Sometimes it's a salad, lately it's been stir fry. If I'm still hungry I look for something else I can eat...then I have a shake after dinner.

So tomorrow I plan to eat Alaskan salmon for dinner tomorrow. It'll be interesting to see how my body responds to it.

Oh, tomorrow I have an appt to donate blood....I'm curious to see if I have enough iron.

11 more days! I can do it! I will do it!
