Earlier today I wrote about my need to stop seconds, stop bread and to reboot & renew. What I didn’t mention is that for three days this week I’ve been having a piece (or two) of bread with a small glass of low-fat milk before bed feeling that it has helped me fall asleep faster. I’m not much of a milk drinker anymore but I enjoy a small glass when I pick it up fresh from the farm where they still use glass bottles! My new three night habit got the best of me and I’ve decided that I won’t do that anymore; my insides just feel bloated, full and uncomfortable. This is probably the reason I hit the wall and decided to reboot.

My meals today have been healthy, no bread and very little dairy, I had about 3 domino size pieces of sharp cheddar with lunch…I’ll post a photo, it was healthy and it was satisfying. Breakfast consisted of 2 eggs scrambled with some leftover cabbage and pea shoots and that held me until 1:30pm. For dinner I baked sweet potatoes and stir fried tofu, tempeh (fermented soybeans, healthier than tofu) with BBQ sauce and stir fried asparagus; again filling and satisfying and even the men in the house liked it, not minding that there was no meat. I had no snacks today as I wasn’t hungry. and as always, I’m drinking water.

Well, day one has been a success so far and based on the time and still feeling full from dinner, there won’t be any snacking tonight. I hope that your day has been a success as well!

I’ll post two of my meals as visuals help to inspire!

Dinner – tofu, tempeh, yam, asparagus- filling and delicious

Lunch – 2 slices ham, 1 pear, 3 domino sized pieces of cheddar, cherry tomatoes and about 10 walnuts left me full until dinner time.
