I suck at the whole blogging everyday thing. This has been a fairly crazy month. Right off we lost my dear uncle (that was devastating). Then I got the flu. Now I have the trifecta of urinary infections - bladder, kidney, and uti. I have also been so very tired, just run down, and experiencing some "female issues." Come to find out I am severely anemic despite iron supplements so I have had to increase the intake of red meat this week. Every other dinner will be a rare lean steak and every other dinner will be salmon or shrimp or chicken.
I did cheat a little last week during restaurant week with the refined sugar and had 1/2 a piece of flour-less chocolate cake and 1/2 a small creme brule. Today I did a mystery shop at OCharley's and there is nothing on that entree menu that is on my diet that I am not allergic to. I gave in to temptation and ordered the chicken fingers and chips. After 2 chicken fingers and just a few chips I felt full and lethargic. They were delicious, but all afternoon I just felt sluggish and my mouth felt like I had gargled with canola oil. When you haven't eaten fried food for 25 days and give in it is not nearly as good as you remember. To date I have lost 6lbs.
The purge has come to a standstill because of the illnesses. We will finish the closet project this weekend and hope to get the house finished by next weekend. Better late than never. Best laid plans...Next month: Shape work-out with Wii and Jenny McCarthy
