Day 4
Last night was Friday night. Usually, I’d have a glass of wine around 5:00 to celebrate the end of the work week. Not last night. Instead, I made a pitcher of peppermint sun tea, then went out to water the garden, did some weeding, set up the sprinkler, and had a live video to thank you for following my new adventure. Once I got past that, it was fine. No craving or desire!
Then the family wanted to have Chinese take-out for dinner. No problem, I ordered chicken and broccoli steamed and used some tamari sauce and hot mustard to spice it up. I’m pretty sure there is sugar in the stir fry sauce. So that worked out well too.
This morning I’ll enjoy a green smoothie for breakfast before a morning hike with my health & wellness colleagues, then will pick up a few things at the farmers’ market. I’m looking for red bell peppers for stuffed peppers and wondering if they will be out yet. The growing season is July through November so I might be a bit early - we’ll see. I think the broccoli will still be there and will serve that with salmon this week.
I’ve got an arugula and watermelon salad with a sprinkle of feta ready for lunch. The dressing is just olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Another sugar free day planned.
Have a great Saturday.
