Day 3

Made it through yesterday. Yesterday was a little harder than the day before.

The 3 1/2 hours of work felt like 8 for some reason, & my cravings were more intense. But that day is behind me and a new one has begun.  I have to keep reminding myself that this is a lifestyle change, not a band aid diet.



Cooking is not really my forte. I do not mind the act of cooking, but tend to stick to basics or follow a recipe without any deviation what so ever. However the other night I was kind of creative in the kitchen. And the dish came out pretty good.

In search of non-meat protein sources (I tend to be a "carbotarian" as opposed to a healthy vegetarian), I wanted to do something with rice and beans. And I ended up with a nice black eyed pea and rice dish. I credit most of its tastiness to the smoked tempeh strips I used. But I did get a little adventurous with the spices. (for me anyway).

So, onward and onward. Day 3 - here we go.
