Day 2

Day 2 was yesterday. For breakfast, Boyfriend had (as I mentioned yesterday) half an egg-white veggie omelet and a piece of spicy grilled chicken. I had the other half of the omelet and 1% milk.

For lunch, Boyfriend had the leftover salad and the other piece of grilled chicken. I had the huge plate of celery and cauliflower that he didn’t touch, with hummus. Yum!

Finished up with a sugar-free cherry-flavored Jell-O. Yuck. Jell-O really wasn’t very good.

We went out shopping again after work. Boughts TONS of vegetables from Costco. When we were putting the humungous bag of onions, the 2.5 lbs of spinach, the economy-pack celeries and broccoli onto the conveyor belt, Boyfriend shook his head and said: “What are you doing to me?”

“I’m making you more HEALTHY!!”

Dinner was turkey and ham slices, wrapped in a fresh lettuce leaf along with roasted pepper (is that allowed in the Diet? I have no idea. Only had a little bit), tomatoes, and low-fat cheddar and part-skim mozzarella. We also had shrimp with cocktail sauce. For dessert I made the mocha-flavored ricotta crème from a recipe in the book. It’s extremely yummy and easy to make. Boyfriend loved it.

Splenda is a godsend.

As with Day 1, I also made a lot of extra food for eating the next day. Fried 6 pieces of catfish in olive oil and dressed up in soy sauce, Splenda, and chili sauce. YUM! Made another big plate of vegetables. Also, cut up some tofu and stir-fried it with onions and peppers.

Keeping up with a diet is really time-consuming! I can understand now why many people fail. Who has the time? It’s true that after starting the diet, Boyfriend and I are now eating better than before, since I now spend so much time cooking every day, whereas before we would go out to restaurants 4 times a week. But still, doubt that I can keep this up.

Boyfriend and I talked about getting a part-time cook yesterday. May put an ad up today or something, just someone who can come in once in a while to help us prepare our healthy foods.
