Wow! Day 6 was emotional but day 7 is here!! Wow!

I must say yesterday was met with some mood swings I tell ya.

This is not a fad diet. This is an overhaul. A deprogramming of sorts to teach me that I don't have to have macaroni with a meat or potato with a meat every single night.  Its not a diet it is a lifestyle change.

That being said, I struggle a bit because I loathe veggies.  Yes. I, a grown woman hates vegetables with a passion and cringe at a plate of peas like a 5 year old kid.  My mom told me that she would make me sit and wait until my veggies were eaten before I could get up from dinner table.  Ha.  I would win. I would never ever eat them. So she gave up.  Instead of trying to blend up the veggies somehow or fight me..she'd cave.

I did the same with mine, they would refuse..and I'd cave.  Time to stop the vicious cycle.  SO I will have to blend the veggies and hide it in the food for my kids at 14.  and for myself...HAHAHAH ;)

I may have made something wrong again last night because it was positively divine....

I made my own homemade italian gravy (tomato sauce)

Yes.  I stewed tomatoes, and added paste, and onions and bell peppers and all that jazz.. :D I am a regular betty freakin crocker!!
Paired that with 1/2 cup of WHEAT PASTA (don't gag..if you boil it long enough you can't tell the difference) and 10 small shrimp, sauteed in olive oil and gourmet burger seasoning..

HOLY COW!!!!  It was phenominal.  And I have a whole pot of sauce to garnish stuff with for the next few days.  

My energy is amazing. I worked out yesterday evening instead of around 2 and the difference was noticeable. Maybe I can start doing 2 a day workouts soon.  My knee hinders me alot, but I can manage the pain to an extent.

I did find a wonderful place to shop that has more than one type of lettuce, and several types of tomatoes and a WHOLE RACK dedicated to ground turkey.  SCORE!  But I will have to drive 35 miles to get there but I do not care.  I bought ground turkey, ground turkey burgers seasoned with italian seasoning, and shrimp.  So that will be my staple food for the week until I run out of course... But I must say... ground turkey is pretty good!!  I was told last night that bread better enter this house soon.  (love you joe...I swear i'll make you a hamburger with meat and bread).

Feeling good on day 7!!!!  Off to make breakfast.
