Food Prep Day shall be king around here! Holy cow did that save me SO MUCH TIME! Of all of my food prep from last week, the only thing I have left is a bit of purple cabbage! The eggs are all gone (as are the egg muffins), we finished the chicken by Thursday and the ground beef became the taco meat for the kids when we went out on Friday night. I will be making food prep day a weekly thing around here for SURE!

| BOY did I need carbs today! |
Lunch: HB egg, sweet potato, sugar snap peas, a few slices of green pepper
Dinner: Our first attempt eating at a restaurant! BOY was it a challenge! We wound up both getting grassfed ribeye steaks and we split veggie sides - sautéed spinach and green beans. We could have SWORN the spinach had butter, it was soooooo rich, but the server promised he had written dairy allergy on our tag. I wondered later if maybe there was some MSG or just a lot of salt because I had a slight headache. I did get a glass of club soda with lime. We will DEFINITELY be going back once we're done with this - bacon maple ice cream!? Yes please.
One cup of coffee with coconut milk midday and one cup of decaf after dinner with no coconut milk.

We went to the Billy Joel concert Friday night. WOW to see him was amazing! And to think that "before," we would have eaten and drank at dinner, probably gotten a treat to eat during the concert and another drink. I will say, however, that being buzzed WITH everyone else is a lot less irritating that being sober around a bunch of complete drunks!!
Day 14
Breakfast: Sweet potato & bacon hash, 3 eggs, 1 banana, coffee with coconut milk.
Lunch: Large salad with taco meat, plantain chips, tomatoes and a few olives.
Dinner: Burger with lettuce, tomato & bacon. Sweet potato fries. Green beans.
Workout: Rest Day

Having a really rough few days. Getting discouraged. I haven't cheated (at least knowingly, but we've only eaten away from home once) and I'm STILL in the "what, my pants are TIGHTER?" phase. I feel so bloated and I am not thinning out as much as I expected. I keep trying to reevaluate what I'm eating - too much protein, too much fat, not enough greens? Too much fruit, although I have tried hard to keep it to 1-2 servings a day, usually lunch or earlier.
We went out last night and I just kept thinking how EASY it would be to just order that glass of wine... have those potatoes on the side of my steak... Nothing too awful but I don't feel like I'm accomplishing anything at this point - shouldn't I be feeling SOMETHING around day 14???
My kids are CONSTANTLY hungry. I have told them they may eat unrestricted veggies - they want fruit. They did, however, eat about 3 JUMBO carrots the other day as a snack. I know they are truly hungry if they will eat sugar snap peas, carrots, cucumbers or broccoli. If they ask for fruit (or my little guy, who still asks for crackers daily <3) I tell them to drink a big glass of water. It's working, but I'm always fearful I'm just not feeding them ENOUGH food...
Anyhow. Long story short, feeling discouraged. Two more weeks will be rough if this continues.
