R2, P3 Day 13 -no STEAK toDAY

Isn't it funny how we plan, plan, plan and then, ka-boom! The plan just blows up in your face? Well, that sort of happened today. I ate nothing. Nothing. Just drank, drank, drank with the intention of eating hubby's grilled steak for dinner tonight. When he came home early, he was famished and wanted to go to the local buffet. Great!

Now, they were serving steak but how in the world was I going to sit there for an hour plus with just their steak and no apples? Well, I made a choice. Actually, I made lots of good choices. Protein, protein, protein. I guess it was my own sort of correction because it was the only meal I had all day. I'm still pretty happy, just dehydrated from the blasted heat. So, here I sit with big, cool glass of water. Ahhhh... I'll probably go to the bathroom no less than three times during the night. Haha!

Here's what I had for my "no steak today":

Dinner:

roasted chicken leg and thigh
ground beef with a sprinkle of Cheddar cheese
steamed cabbage
tuna
seasoned chicken
small salad
(one bite of a too, well-done steak. Yuck!)

I was 144lbs this morning and none too happy. Hubby keeps fussing at me about being overly concerned about the number. Late this morning, I sort of resolved that I should go back to the way I was a few days ago; non-obsessive about the number/weight. I plan to eat tomorrow, too. Monday, I'm actually considering a Detox (my favorite is in the picture above and is not a colon cleanse), just to get the sludge out of my system. That may do more than anything, anyway.

Oh man, that's so easy for your hubby (and my other half) to say, isn't it? "don't fuss about the number". Arrgh! Easy for those who have never dealt with the issue...

Still, choosing to relax and work the process IS what will get us there faster, the stress doesn't help. It'll be gone before you know it, and I'm betting the detox will do wonders!

I hope so! I never made it to the drug store to actually buy the cleanse. I hope to have time to get it tomorrow, then start Tuesday. We'll see how it goes. :)
