It is day 1 and I am READY TO GO! It's the middle of the week and I have quite a busy, long day, so I'm making crockpot chicken for dinner.
At around 10:30 am I had my first "meal" of the day. I had some tea and 78% chocolate. It's a routine I look forward to at this point. Usually I'll have some almonds and raisins, but I wasn't really hungry this morning so I forwent.
It's a weird thing with me and food and headaches. Tea gives me a headache sometimes, but I've found if I drink it slowly enough and then hold off for 10 minutes or so before I drink water, I'm usually fine?
I seem to have a lot of food headache triggers but they're so inconsistent that I can never tell what gave me a headache. I'd like to try and figure it out while eating better, but the trick is also not to eat the bad stuff cuz I know if I cheat I'll be right back to where I was before: completely off the wagon and not even caring. So I'm hoping that with cutting out a lot of the bad stuff I can start to feel better.
For lunch I had 2 spicy chicken patties (I know they have a lot of carbs) and 1 low-carb tortilla, with half an orange bell pepper. This was more carbs than I usually have but since I knew I was having tacos for dinner, I didn't worry about it. I felt a little hungry after, but I chewed some gum and that helped reduce the craving to eat more. I think I'm going to try to do that more. I don't think I'm actually hungry but I am just so used to eating tons of food.
When I did get hungry, around 3 pm, I had a handful of cashews which was enough to hold me over till dinner.
For dinner I had a quesadilla with 2 low-carb tortillas. I put a bit of pinto beans, chicken, and cheese between them, and had guacamole on the side. That was my last avocado so I'll have to buy some more soon. It was very good, very filling.
I had a few strawberries about an hour after this, since I needed something light.
