Day 2 of 'THE DIET' and Birthday Cake?

Jan 19, 2012

Feeling good today, on day 2 of this 2 week diet.  I'm a pretty good cook (if I do say so myself), and so I'm finding that this diet of meat, cheese, eggs, and green veggies is not so tough.  As soon as I hear the word diet, I usually start to get a little head hunger.  Thinking about what I'm going to deprive myself of this go round.  Great thing about this diet is that  when I think I think about what I'm craving, and what diet thing I can have for dinner, I breathe a sigh of relief, because it's usually something yummy.

Tonight I wanted salisbury steak for dinner.  I'd usually have that with rice and green beans.  I'm still having the meat.  Just having it with a side of turnip greens...wish I could have a little sweet potato too (that's my head hunger just determined to have a say!), anyway, I'm very much sated and happy with dinner.  Even without the sweet potato, I don't really feel like I'm missing anything.

I'm boiling a bunch of eggs right now (about 10), so that when I come home from work, and I just want to grab a quick snack, I can just grab a boiled egg and just have at it.  Same for in the evening if I feel peckish....I think I'll take some to work for snack purposes too....just in case the usual protein shake and cottage cheese that I usually have gets too boring.

On another note...so many people in my family are born in December, January, and February, and I'm the designated cake orderer person.  Got a birthday coming up tomorrow.  Went to Publix...to the dessert section, and ordered the cake.  The head hunger started to rear it's ugly head (only because I know that I won't be having these kinds of things for a long time...it's not like I have to buy something sweet everytime I go there).  I ordered the cake...my usual, quarter sheet, vanilla, with cream cheese icing (I love Publix cakes with cream cheese icing)...last minute I changed my mind.  Ordered the cake with butter cream icing (I don't care for butter cream icing.  It doesn't tempt me at all.)....soooooo, no cake for me :-)

My daughter's birthday is February 13th....12 days after my surgery.  Don't expect to have much trouble getting through that one :-)
