The first couple of days was used to start feeling out how I could prepare foods. Oh, and get over the sugar withdrawl! Thank goodness for gum is all I have to say. That saved me from really cheating. From the given list I pretty much already knew what I liked and disliked on the list. Thank goodness I like everything on the list! Oh, except grapefruit! I tried it again to give it another go and I just cannot do it! More power to the people that can.
Being a pescetarian, to be "politically" correct, I knew I could use fish as a protein source. I love fish don't get me wrong, but I definitely will not eat it more than once a day and I do not want it to be my main protein source. I am working on experimenting with more beans and other vegetarian friendly protein sources this coming week. Tonight I successfully created a clean Veggie Stuffed Portobello Mushroom! Check the next post for that recipe! Also, I knew I loved peanut butter before this challenge, but I am discovering that I also really like almond butter, and every other fat source on the list we are allowed to eat! Yikes! I am working on controlling those portions more.
Here are some of my highlights of the week...
Breakfast
Lunch and Dinner
Snacks
I think that's enough for today! Hopefully I will check in a couple of more times this week! Stay tuned for that Veggie Stuffed Portobello Mushroom recipe!
