I'm done with Month 1

Ok, ok, I know it's only been two weeks.  And not a good two weeks at that.  The first week I'd give myself a 90%.  I did really good sticking with my meal plan.  Week 2 I'd give myself a 60%.  While I stuck with my meal plan over half the time, I really didn't do good at all.  It's been tough coming up with ideas to incorporate what little foods I have.  And it's been equally tough trying to do this when Gary and Constance are not.  So, I've decided to stick with each "month" for two weeks.  So, I'll be switching to clothes tomorrow after Gary, Constance and I go to the fair today and eat fair food...

Past few dinners

Monday night's dinner: chicken fajita salad on a bed of greens topped with fresh veggies and homemade salsa.

Vegetable soup even the toddler ate up!

Sautéed spinach with garlic, onion, tomatoes with a baked egg on top. 

I wish I could say all my eating has been great, but it hasn't.  Back on track tomorrow!

Week one is finally over

This has been tougher than I thought it would be.  However, overall I'm extremely proud of how I've done.  I have eaten better than I normally would.  Gary ate sushi in front of me again on Friday night, but this time I had a small taste.  Besides lunch today I haven't really strayed too much.  But yesterday and this morning I have had a runny nose and been sneezing and had drainage.  With all that drainage, I just felt like I really needed something in my belly to settle it besides vegetables.  So, we got a pizza.  And it was delicious.  But, I had eggs with homemade salsa for breakfast and kale chips and carrot sticks for dinner, so today wasn't a total bust. 

I also decided yesterday that I'm going to cut this month and next month short by 2 days.  So this month will end on Friday, September 20th and next month will run from Saturday, September 21st until Wednesday, October 16th.  I am going to a conference in Kansas City from Wednesday, October 16th until Sunday, October 20th.  I had originally planned on doing 7 articles of clothing on this trip, but the more I think about it, the more I realize that is really not going to work at all.  I won't have any way to wash clothes, and I'm sure the 3 other ladies that I'll be with really don't want to deal with me being stinky.  So, by cutting out 2 days this month and cutting out 2 days next month I will end month 2 on the first day of the conference. 

Anyway, I guess that's all for now.  2 1/2 more weeks until I can eat what I want!
