Day 3...

Day 3 can effing bite me. Today started out a bit better..I think..if I can think back that far. Seriously..it's been quite the day..filled with more drama than this mama can handle. Kids, work, miscellaneous bullshit, unnecessary crap, more kid stuff, blah, blah, blah..yeah. It was quite the stressful day. And I actually said to myself (out loud, of course!) damn I'm stressed..I could totally eat a few humongous bowls of cereal right now. And to be honest..if I wasn't so busy, I probably would have. Being home all the time has its perks, but also has its drawbacks. I didn't realize it until my youngest started school. 
So..yeah..stress. And really wanting to stress eat. And then I really wanted to have a bottle..I mean..glass of wine. Ha! But neither of those things happened. 
My day 3 of eating was pretty much the same--eggs, almond butter, carrots, celery, cheese, a few crackers (LOVE THOSE Mary's Gone Crackers!), almonds, a green apple, and tomatoes and zucchini. I made one of the dinner things out of the manual tonight with the zucchini and tomatoes. I used my veggie peeler on the zucchini and made it into strips (like fettuccine)  until I got to the seeds in the center, put that in a pan with some garlic, olive oil and red pepper flakes. Cooked that and then took it out of the pan and put in a few chopped roma tomatoes with a bit more garlic and red pepper flakes. Heated those and then topped the zucchini with it and sprinkled some grated parmesan on top. It was pretty freakin' amazing! I'm so happy that my hubby will eat anything I cook because this is like a pasta dish..and I'm not a fan of pasta at all--so this will work even if I wasn't doing this "delightful" detox. 
I'm pretty sure I was less irritated today in regards to not having sugar..either that or the irritation was focused more on all the ridiculousness that transpired today. I'm not gonna lie though--the nighttime is hard when I'm sitting here--doing work or other things and I'm used to having a sweet snack. I've done all the things you can do to help curb that sweet snacking craving at night--believe me. I've lost 180lbs to prove that I'm well versed in the "tips and tricks" of willpower, weight loss and whatevers..so yeah.

Anyway--it's bedtime sugar bears.

SWEET DREAMS.
