Big, bad me thought that I would be sailing through this till about day 4, when I would be then really hurting for some cookies, chips, cake, chocolate.....hahahahahahahahahahaha, hahahahahahaha. Wrong.
I think it is probably inadvisable and illegal to state what it is that I would do for one itty bitty taste of the chocolate chip cookies my daughter just made. Omg. I am drooling from the smell, and weeping tears of pity.
I think that it was probably worse today because I am still really not feeling good from having dental work done and because of it, my food options are limited, even more limited than I've already made them with the diet. And I when I am "sick", what I get, is hungry. I always feel like I am starving when the option of eating is taken away. Mind over matter maybe, blah blah blah.
I started this morning with some Advil and the same smoothie I had for breakfast on Day 1. I really do love them. I had a pear for a snack, and some ham (Pillar's Simply Free) and another smoothie for lunch. This one was the same as before, BUT with the addition of half an avocado. I was hesitant to add the avocado, (even though I love them), because I wasn't sure of how well it would mix with everything else. I was stoked to find out that not only could I NOT taste it at all, but that I figured out a new way to add in some filling, nutrient food that I would be able to sneak past my kids...:) I knew though, that I was going to need something a little more hearty and satisfying tonight for supper. I did a google search and found this gem.

I changed few things in the recipe, which is pretty much what I always do. Here's what I did:

I changed few things in the recipe, which is pretty much what I always do. Here's what I did:
- Used red pepper instead of tomatoes.
- Did not add olives
- Did not use parsley (had none)
- Made my own broth by boiling my frozen b/s chicken breasts in water with onion and celery.
- Simmered the squash in about an inch of water, then took out half the squash (as per recipe instructions), and blitzed the rest in the water with my immersion blender and let that simmer down for about 10 minutes to thicken instead of mashing with a fork.
Besides some work on the farm, which pretty much equaled to standing in one spot, I took it really easy today. I hope my mouth is much better tomorrow so I can bake up some muffins or snacks to eat!!! At least tonight, I'm not going to bed hungry lol.
