Day 1

Hubby brought me my cup of green tea rather than the strong coffee he usually brings. Then another and another, while I waited for the buzz to open my eyes. No luck there so went to the bathroom and used the cold water on the face trick. That worked.

Starting weight  183lbs. That surprised me after all the holiday eating. I expected more; I look more, as all the sand has shifted over the years.

Breakfast: about 10:00 am

Made the smoothie using brown rice powder (couldn't find white), blue berries I had, and added a teaspoon of vanilla as I couldn't find any plain almond milk.  Things were sold out at Fred's as lots of folks are also trying the plan. Had 4 great conversations with women I didn't know before, two of which were fighting over the last bag of flaxseeds. 

The smoothie was thick and grainy, not at all like it is when I use whey powder and more fruit. I don't know if it is the green banana or the brown rice powder. Not bad, but could be better. I guess I can manage for 21 days.  I forgot about the lemon water, but my Granny did this every morning, so know it is good to get the body going.

Late lunch/early dinner: about 3:00 pm

I like us to have our large meal mid-day. We feel and sleep better. This is something we learned on our travels. Of course as retires we eat anytime we want. We call this tea time because it is a light meal.

 I made a large salad for both of us with lots of veggies. I had a leftover chicken breast so chopped it up. Yes it was 6 oz., I weighed mine and put gave the rest to Hubby. I added french parsley and basil to pep it up. A good dash of oil and vinegar and I was good to go.  Really missed the crackers. Sigh.

Tea time: about 6:30/7:00 pm

Had my cup of yogurt with a bit of home made raspberry sauce, and drank my green tea. My pee will probably be green tomorrow from all the cups I've had today. Hubby had a big bowl of home made chicken veggie stew and sourdough bread. gerrrrrrrr. But I'm proud of myself as I stayed with the plan. I must admit I'm not hungry. Yet.  Also didn't have the broth. I didn't want to waste all that food by boiling it down, so I'm going to buy the box kind. I can already see how that would make a soup base.  

MISSED MY COFFEE
