Day 15 - Feelings & Such
Today, I felt much more at peace with the stress I had been dealing with the past few days. Fortunately, my concerns for some of the loved ones in my life were laid to rest, and all my thanks go to God Himself for it. My attitude, patience, and temper thanks Him as well :)
Day 15 Diet - 500 Calories
Breakfast beverage? Nope. Not today, either. But tomorrow is looking promising.
Before I tell you what I had for lunch, I'd like to explain a little something. By noon, my stomach is more than ready to welcome a meal, and never have I skipped lunch while on the diet before now. I didn't do it on purpose; I'm not that stubborn or hell bent on making up for the gain the other day. In fact, I had laid out a steak to defrost this morning, with all of the intentions to grill it for lunch. But.. I just wasn't hungry, and got lost into doing other things. I hope this doesn't hurt me tomorrow on the scale, and if it doesn't, then I'm thankful. At best, I may see a little larger loss, but no worries if I don't!
For dinner (which I had a little earlier considering the previous paragraph) I decided to pan "fry" my steak, and make a fajita salad with lettuce. When I say "fry", I mean I seared the meat and then added water until the steak was done, almost creating a stock of sorts. In other words I kind of braised it. It.smelled.like.heaven. Once I was done, I cut up the steak, and added both it and the liquid left over to the lettuce, plus toast crumbles to imitate a "shell". Even though I couldn't add sour cream.. or beans.. or guacamole *drool*, it was delicious all the same. By the time it came time to eat my apple, I was stuffed. But I ate it anyway, in the hopes that I wouldn't get hungry later. So far, so good. I will say, I probably had about 3 cups of lettuce, instead of 2 since I didn't have lunch, and the few extra calories of the lettuce shouldn't hurt me at all. But don't worry, I'll be sure to let you all know if it does!
