I really enjoyed my afternoon snack. It was called "Picnic Time". Apples, grapes, cheese chunks, nut crackers, dried cranberries, and almonds. Lots of food, lots of variety. It was all good :)
I have been looking forward to this Cobb salad since I put it in my refrigerator yesterday evening. Huge disappointment. How can that be? It looks so good, right? So much lettuce that I really didn't taste anything else. But the biggest problem was the dressing. Not good. Try again, MFF.
Best way to mix all the salad ingredients that are jammed into the package? Put it all in a gallon-sized ziploc bag and shake. With such limited dressing, this way it has a chance of touching most of the ingredients.
I've talked a lot about the food part of this 21-Day Challenge, but not a lot about how I've been feeling. I was told the first 4 days are the worst and my energy levels should begin to improve after that. I haven't thought these days were bad, so I'm anxious for the next 17 days! The worst part, as I'm sure you know by now is the pills. I recognize that is a personal problem though. The daily calories average 1200 which is not much. I expected hunger all the time but that hasn't been the case at all. Sometimes I haven't even thought about the next meal/snack when it's time to eat. Sometimes I think I'd like to eat when I'm 30-45 min away from a meal/snack, but my stomach isn't growling and I'm not hungry in the way that I've felt before MFF. Day 2 was tough only because I felt kinda woozy and cotton-headed. All I can guess is that it had something to do with detoxing--probably from the influence of the artificial sweeteners in my body...and who knows what else! I am not on a gluten-free plan, but I don't think there's been any obvious gluten in the food I've been given. The 80 oz of water was a big concern, however, I find myself easily drinking about 100 oz a day. My MFF nutritionist wants a weight tomorrow to make sure my body is responding as it should. I'm curious to see what the scale says.
