Day 33/31/Reintroduction day 1

Welp, I finished!  I weighed myself this morning and weighed 136 lbs, so I lost 8 lbs in 30 days.  Not bad!  I also feel a lot better generally.  I plan to stick with this kind of diet for the most part.  I want to be healthier by not eating much sugar and exercising more.

Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs with 1/2 avocado and salsa

Lunch: meatball soup, 1 banana with almond butter

Dinner: fried cod tacos in lettuce wraps, guac.

Snack: a bunch of cashews, apple, PEANUT BUTTER

Yeah I ate peanut butter today.  Skippy's to be precise.  And it was DELICIOUS.  I probably should not eat it very often because it is so good.  And has added sugar.  And I panicked a little about that but then got over it by my 3rd spoonful.

Exercise: none really

Feelings: As above.  My new goals in life are to be happy and healthy and I think this way of eating is helping.  I want to keep on it. :)

Day 32/30

LAST DAY!  What?  CRAZY.

Breakfast: chia pudding almond milk with banana in it.  It was especially good today.  Hard boiled egg

Lunch: meatball soup.  Apple with almond milk

Dinner: Leftover spaghetti squash pizza casserole

Snack: berries, cashews

Exercise: ice skating class, C25K week 3 day 1

Feelings: I felt a bit rough GI wise last night after I posted.  Too much cabbage in the chicken pot I think.  Today I feel better.  I'm a little nervous for this to be over-I mean, I want to eat all the chocolate and cake and everything, but I also don't want to.  This has been good.  Tomorrow I'll weigh in and see how I am doing.  I feel like my skin cleared up on my arms and legs a bit (less bumpy).  I still am getting zits though.  My energy overall is better.  I feel like I lost weight and my arms are more toned.  Not a ton though-maybe down to my normalish weight (10 lbs less than I have been for the past 2 years).  We'll see though!  Mostly going to stick with my diet tomorrow.  Going to try some peanut butter maybe and see how that goes (though I packed almond butter in my lunch already.  Oops!)

Day 29/27

Breakfast: sweet potato hash, 2 fried eggs, cashews

Lunch: some leftover roast beef from last week, banana, almond butter

Dinner: chicken pot

Snack: cashews, raspberries

Exercise: 45 min walk with Scott

Feelings: I have to write this paper, and I really really don't want to.  I hate writing papers.

Day 31/29

Ack, this is almost over!  Stressful!

Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, 1/2 avocado, salsa

Lunch: meatball soup, orange

Dinner: leftover chicken in the pot. So good.  MMM

Snack: cashews, banana, almond butter

Exercise: basically nothing.  fail

Feelings: I'm sad today.  I'm worried about what job to take because I really like Austin, but Maryland will work the best.  Plus it's only 4 days a week.  That has to be good, right?
