My husband and I did some major grocery shopping - all grassfed, organic. Let me just say two things; One. Why the hell is good food so extremely expensive? and Two. I need to get my own farm.
After we unloaded the groceries, we went to our local beef farmer and bought soup bones and ground meat. It's such a peaceful feeling when you visit a farm. Wistful sigh. Last night was a real challenge for me, our mutual friend came over and him and the husband cracked open a few beers. Usually I would gleefully join in, especially since our kids are at their grandmas for the weekend, but I didn't. And surprisingly, I didn't feel like I was missing anything!
Day 7 meals:
1. Two eggs, four slices of bacon, coffee w/coconut milk, vanilla extract, cinnamon
2. Spinach salad w/veggies & balsamic dressing, grilled tilapia, sauteed cabbage, & squash.
3. Citrus kombucha
4. Two ham roll ups (alfalfa sprouts, cherry tomatoes, gluten free mustard wrapped in ham), one pumpkin pancake (recipe in previous post).
5. Water, water, water!
6. Water w/lemon & acv

That being said, today marks DAY 8! Holy crap, I am now on week two of this challenge and I can not believe that I have made it this far! I am no longer craving sweets horrendously, but am now wanting starchy foods like a chili cheese hot dog and salty steak fries. 'Just keep swimming, just keep swimming......'
I made a very decadent treat with my green apple today - I sauteed my apple in ghee and while that was going I toasted pecans. I then added the pecans to the apple. While that was cooking I toasted unsweetened coconut flakes. I then seasoned the apples & pecans with cinnamon. Topped that off with a dollop of almond butter & the toasted coconut flakes. NOM! It felt like I was cheating! Soo good.
Tomorrow I plan to go buy some of this Jicama I keep hearing about and make Jicama fries & ketchup! Pretty excited about that. I know that this post is short, but it's midnight here and I am pooped! Night :)
