It Starts With Food - Day 2

Woke up today without feeling sluggish. I could have gone for a cup of coffee but with the recent flare up I think it best to hold off for at least a week before indulging. Water is not a problem to get down normally but I do feel that I am drinking more steadily through out the day instead of just gulping it down a few times. Coincidence? Only time will tell. There is also the adrenaline of the job prospects knocking on my door. The thought of us finally being able to move forward and enjoy our jobs and to buy a house. Life is good. GOD is good!

My wife wanted to make a smoothie for breakfast and we made a little too much so I had some of that. We were out of our normal mix of morning smoothie ingredients so we improvised by using strawberries, cucumber, kale, and banana.  That was not cutting it so I ate the other half of a banana from our smoothie as well as 2 eggs with a few black olives and diced tomatoes.

For lunch I made some ground turkey and kale curry bites. Also had a small salad of field greens, 1/4 cucumber, a handful of carrots, a roma tomato, and a few black olives, drizzled with a little olive oil and balsamic.

I had an interview today so I didn't get home until later than I would have liked to eat so I was pretty hungry as I was preparing dinner.  Cooked up a sirloin steak via cast iron and over (BRILLIANT & DELICIOUS STEAK!) , sauteed mushrooms, zucchini, I roasted a smaller sweet potato (olive oil, s&p, garlic powder, 425 for 20 minutes.) and steamed some fresh green beans for the wife.

A few hours after eating dinner I had a craving for something and just couldnt shake it.  I am sure it is the habit of having an after dinner snack or sweet that I am trying to kill early on.  So I cut up a HUGE cantaloupe that I had gotten and ate a few roasted and salted almonds. Continued to drink a fair amount of water and I was good to go.

Going to get better each day.  This is a process and bad habits don't change over night.

Tomorrow is a new day.
