As expected, today was harder. The cravings hit in full force and we were both very hungry by dinner time. Cheese, cake, chocolate... I wanted all of it. I used my "I can do anything for 30 days" mantra over and over again.
I am breastfeeding/pumping, so I'm always worried about any diet changes messing with my supply. Jacob's gotta eat! When I noticed my output was a little lower today, I started second guessing myself. Luckily, it seems to just be Jacob's eating habits but I will still have to keep an eye on it over next few weeks and really listen to my body when it says to eat more!
Physical Check-In
Still some left-over stomach pain, but it's starting to subside. I'm feeling less bloated and have the same amount of energy as before we got this going.
The Food
Breakfast: Veggie Scramble and Fresh Strawberries
I sautéed zucchini, tomatoes on the vine, and spinach in some EVOO and added in whisked eggs for a yummy scramble mixture. I'm really warming to black coffee (it helps to get quality coffee, ground fresh) and have further confirmation that I genuinely like the taste of coffee - not just cream and sugar.
Lunch: Leftover Blueberry Glazed Porkchops, Asparagus, and Fresh Salad (no picture)
Eating lunch at my desk during a meeting about clients was not quite as exhilarating as the patio at Whole Foods.
Dinner: Surf and Turf
This was originally just intended to be surf, but we were hungry! Luckily, we had some leftover (paleo-safe) steak at home to add to our meal.
The shrimp/avocado salad boats turned out awesome. Michael made pico earlier in the day to save some time (onion, tomato, green bell pepper, lime juice, salt, pepper). We mashed up two avocados and the shrimp was defrosted and served cool.
Each "boat" consisted of a leaf of romaine lettuce, 1/2 an avocado, topped with 5oz shrimp and pico de gallo. Both of us had two boats and a side of steak. It was quite a meal but neither of us felt overstuffed afterwards.
