How Day One went

[Guest guest]

Looking at this as an experiment has really helped. A friend of mine

said: " a scientific spirit of inquiry might help (along the lines of " If

I eat that instead of this, I'll screw up the experiment and I won't

know " ) " , and that has really kept me from even the tiniest slip, because

I want to see how it works when I do it 100%.

 

Anyway, here's today's journal, which I also posted to the McDougall board.

 

Blood pressure: can't get the meter to work. :-(

Pulse: 85

Took thyroid meds?: Yes

Other meds: None

Walk miles: 3

Symptoms: During walk, mild headache and fatigued legs. Went away after

rest and water, and was fine for the walk home. Pretty much constant

hunger, solved by munching on cut-up veggies all day. :-)

 

Planned food:

 

B: Oatmeal; piece of fruit

L: Salad with roasted garlic, mushrooms, and balsamic vinegar; purple

asparagus; chana dal (1/2 cup)

D: Beans (1/2 cup) & brown rice & salsa & veggies

S: Fruit, cut-up veggies

 

Actual food:

 

B: Oatmeal (nothing but oats and water); piece of fruit (tangelo)

L: Salad with roasted elephant garlic, mushrooms, and balsamic vinegar;

raw purple asparagus; chana dal (1/2 cup) (beans, berbere spice, water,

garlic, vinegar)

D: Beans (1/2 cup) & brown rice & salsa

S: Fruit (banana), cut-up veggies (carrots, raw cauliflower with roasted

garlic and balsamic vinegar, bell peppers), rice crackers, kappa maki

(seaweed, white rice, cucumber), cup of iced rooibos tea

Serene,

 

I loved what your friend said about "screwing up the experiment." This will help me too. Thanks for sharing. Looks like you did great yesterday.
