Breakfast protein bar was delicious. Tasted very similar to a fiber one bar which I always like. I had that and 2 kiwis. Amazingly, I skipped 10 o'clock starvation and made it all the way until 11:30 for lunch. So lunch.....that was a little different story. I had Ideal Protein Chicken Noodle Soup, 2 c of a combination of broccoli and cauliflower, a few blackberries, and a couple bites of salad. The chicken noodle soup was not the greatest. In fact, I ended up just drinking it down because I know the importance of the protein values. In addition, 2 c of vegetables. Holy Cow....that was a lot. A small bag of steamers is 2 cups. I am accustomed to eating smaller meals more frequently. But, I am a woman on a mission and I ate them all. By the time I finished that, I was pretty full. I still ate 3 blackberries, and 2 bites of salad. I couldn't eat anymore.
About 2:30, I was bored and that is my biggest downfall. SNACKING time. Emotional eating....I eat my boredom away. It was time for BBQ Crisps. So my best comparison to them is rice cakes. I tend to enjoy rice cakes, but BBQ didn't taste the best either. So, I didn't finish them. After all, I wasn't really hungry, it was just a gut reaction.
Dinner Time: You are pretty much on your own for dinner. So, I had 10 shrimp, a salad, and because I'm on a modified plan for Diabetes, I am allowed a baked sweet potato. This was delicious.
In addition to the changes in food, I am mainly allowed to drink water only. I purchased a 30 oz stainless steel tumbler. It keep the water REALLY cold which is the only way I will drink it. I filled it 3x yesterday and drank them all. WOOT WOOT! That is a huge change for me and I know it will help me feel better!
So, diabetes....how did I manage my blood sugars? They seemed to truck on pretty well considering the changes. I only had one low and that was about 3. It was 70 which isn't awful but still had to be aware of the lower number. So now day two.....Today I try, Crispy Cereal, Vegetable Chili, and Vanilla Crispy Square.
And the saga continues. Until next time, take care and God Bless!
