Before I get to talk about my new meals for the day, I'd like to rewind to talk about my dinner last night and my reflections on completing day 1.
By the time I got home from work last night, I was so busy getting the baby fed and ready for bed, that I hadn't really thought all that much about what I was going to prepare for dinner. I wasn't feeling as hungry as I thought I would, but I think that's partly because I drank so much water throughout the day.
My husband had requested stuffed peppers for dinner so I thought that would make a great meal for the both of us. I've been vegetarian for just about 5 years, so it's pretty common that I'm making two separate meals. I cut the top off of two peppers, removed the insides, sprayed them with a little EVOO and put them in the oven at 375F to bake for 10 minutes. Meanwhile, I got two frying pans going with a little olive oil and added all of the same ingredients to each, except for mine, I left out the ground beef. I began sauteing chopped mushrooms, carrots, and quinoa and a little tofu and a few chickpeas that I had already drained and rinsed in the fridge. Once the peppers were a little soft, I stuffed one with the beef mixure and topped with some cheddar (MMMMM!!) and the other, stuffed with the veggie mix (NO CHEESE, wahhhh) and put back in the oven for about 12 minutes. So tasty and so filling.
Husbands enjoyed a glass of red wine, while I had yet another glass of H2O! I took my 3 herbal cleanse pills and could barely keep my eyes open to stay up for the Bruins game.
Day 1 was a success! I stuck to the plan, and I think the hardest part about the day was just not being able to enjoy coffee in the morning and a few glasses glass of wine.
I woke up this morning with a little headache. I looked at the empty coffee pot and reached for my spark packet.
Just had my fiber drink mixed with a little OJ and am about to have some scrambled eggs and a banana for breakfast.
23 days to go!
