I have had another successful day. It is very tempting to grab a little bit of sugar from the kids' Valentines stash at this point. When I needed something of a different taste I grabbed a prune today. I have to say that the longer I go in this the more disappointed I'm becoming. I don't feel a change in energy and my clothes aren't fitting any looser. With 13 days left I am wondering if there are any changes that are even happening. But I will stick with is in case something is just not visible yet. It doesn't help that my ankle is still not better and it has turned super cold again. I made an appointment for an injury screening at Athletico tomorrow to see if things are worse than I originally thought. I continue to have pain at the front of my ankle and could barely walk last night. Today I have used a combination of the ace bandage and air cast to get me through the day. If I walk with my ankle nearly locked I don't experience pain. But this is very difficult to do for any amount of time and the muscles quickly tire. So we will see what a professional has to say.
Not much exciting went on today. I didn't have a ton of work, so I nearly finished it before going grocery shopping. I finished up this afternoon as I was given a new mentor on my team. I found some time to make sweet potato chips. They didn't some out as crispy as I had hoped. So I think I will try baking them in the oven next (I had used the dehydrator.) I am considering trying to make some dried fruits, maybe some bananas or something. These could be really good to pack for our plane trip this summer and/or even for the kids to take in their lunches for school.
Breakfast: Eggs fried in coconut oil, beef jerky, orange
Lunch: Leftover offal meatloaf, cauliflower, sweet potato fries
Dinner: Meatball stew new recipe from Frugal Paleo Cookbook over zucchini noodles (kids had corn based pasta). This meal took a lot longer to prepare than I thought it would, but everyone loved it and both kids have declared they want it for lunch tomorrow. So this will go into our rotation for days I have more time to prepare a meal.
Time to go put together a library list so Carolyn can have some new things to read!
