Today is day four of my fuel cycle week. It's been an interesting week so far. I'm really glad I did it but am definitely noticing a difference in my energy level today compared to yesterday. Yesterday was all about healthy fats and today is about high nutrition with very little fat or carbs. This morning I made an egg white omelet with 1 tsp. coconut oil, turkey deli meat and a tiny bit of raw cheddar. I then had my coffee with a little almond milk instead of cream. All I can say is, GROSS! I didn't care for the omelet and I did NOT like my coffee with almond milk. After breakfast I was cleaning the kitchen and getting the kids started on their schoolwork and it hit me. I got woozy, weak and light headed. My body was not happy with the food I gave it, so I made a big boy smoothie and sipped on it for the next hour.
I knew that I was going to my sisters for lunch, so I packed up what I needed to make fotato soup and out the door I went. I made the soup at my sisters, with a bit of chicken and turkey bacon bits in it for lunch and it was very yummy! I had to go to town and get a few things at the store. At this point it had been 2 hours since lunch and I started to get a little woozy at the grocery store. It really hit home that this is why I have hated diets my whole life, that feeling of deprivation is awful. But I know that these two days will be over so quick and it's good for my body to cleanse. When I got home, I ate some greek yogurt with fruit jam on top. That was super good! And I also drank a big glass of earth milk. This second batch is better than the first.
For supper, I am going to attempt the Asian stir fry recipe with konjac noodles. I hope I can make it a success!
Here's a snack I made this morning and they are smack your momma good if I do say so myself:
Mouth Watering Meringues
I love how they just melt and crunch in your mouth. SO.MUCH.FUN!
