Fast completed.... back to my ‘healthy eating’

Mar 17, 2018

 

Well I did it… I went the whole three days without eating any solid foods at all. I thought it was going to be really difficult but it really wasn’t as bad as I had anticipated. I did a lot of reading of my devotionals that were mainly about the struggles of maintaining a healthy lifestyle, and weight through praying and positivity amongst other things. I also ended up losing the 5 pounds that I’ve been struggling with to get me back to where I was right before I had my surgery. I’m also feeling really good and positive about how I’m going to take this journey going forward. I started off this morning with a nice hot cup of tea then I had my usual yogurt with a half a packet of sugar free oatmeal in it, 1/2c of frozen blueberries and 1/8c of protein granola. What I was doing before was also adding a 1/4c of omega-3 trail mix to that but I’m going to either have the trail mix or the granola from now on instead of both. For lunch I had about 3/4 of a cup of spring mix, I did put about 1 cups worth but was getting kind of full so I ate the proteins in it and pushed the greens aside. In that salad, I had 2 oz of diced ham which I normally would have 3 oz, 3/4 oz of mozzarella cheese which I normally would have a full ounce to an ounce and a quarter, I had a hard-boiled egg and almost half of an avocado with about half a tbsp of light balsamic vinaigrette and I half a tbsp of light ranch dressing. It was the perfect size. I did have a morning snack though of a piece of pie. It was made with sugar free pistachio pudding, crushed pineapple and lite cool whip in a graham cracker crust.
Right now I’m sipping a coffee while reading and journaling. I’m going to have a raspberry cheesecake quest bar got my afternoon snack. Hope it’s good.
It’s cold out so I made a nice pot of soup for dinner. I found a package of creamy loaded baked potato soup, added 6 oz of diced up turkey kielbasa, frozen spinach, frozen broccoli and 1/2 c of quinoa. It’s going to be so good.

It’s almost bedtime now. I had my bowl of soup and it was really good. I portioned out the rest of it into 4 1.5c servings for any of us to have throughout the week. It’ll probably end up being me eating them anyway cause nobody else seems to eat the leftovers unless I pretty much make them, lol.
Going to have my tea soon and head to bed. Was an ok day...could have been a little bit better as I still have a lot of work to do as far as head hunger but it could have been much worse.
