Hi there.  We get tired of the same ole thing.  Being on a restricted eating plan(notice I didn't use the "D" word!) can get boring.  I'm not a creative cook so I can easily get into a rut.  I hear you about breakfast.  The only thing that works for me is a protein shake.  I vary by adding fruit.  I don't do eggs either.  Icky!  Going out for breakfast is difficult.  Everything is either bread, pancake or eggs.

If you like yogurt Greek yogurt is a good breakfast  change of pace.

Thanks for sharing!

I've started tracking, recording what I'm eating, too. Also going back to the Protein First rule.

I really need to post here....my dog injured his paw and I'm worried about him.  We will probably take him to the pet urgent care.  We gave him a low dose of aspirin to see if that helps.  If not, urgent care will be next.  I'm commiting here with all of you that I'm not going to emotionally eat over this.  

Eats:

B - Coffee

L - Chicken breast with salsa

D - Grilled Talipa with green beans

S - Apple with French Onion Laughing Cow wedge

Have a Super Saturday as we BOTT

Eating protein. Wow..what a revelation..NOT. I've always known it and damn if it's still not true. Such a simple lesson to learn over and over again. I'm very happy that it still works.

Tracking food. Again..something everyone knows. 

I'm losing weight and I'm full all the time.

So my goal is to commit to tracking for 21 more days and to eat protein and then figure out another simple thing. Maybe that exercise helps. But not this week.

Having a hungry head day.  I started with meditation this morning as I got to work before anyone.  I got in 20 minutes.  Why are some days so effortless and some so challenging?  All day long I have kept asking myself what my need is as I know it is not food.  I came up with a few answers.  I need quite restful time.  Having a flare up and want to feel better.  Two coworkers what to do something nice for me for my birthday and I have so many issues around receiving.  I don't deserve it, if they really knew who I was they wouldn't do this etc etc. So I put back the protein bar I picked up at the grocery store, stopped lingering in the ice cream isle and got my eggs and left.  Staying BOTT.
