Day 2 - CSDiet - Veggies & Soup

Today was veggies, all you can eat, and soup.  I was also permitted a large baked potato with a tsp. of butter.

*SIGH*

I'm torn about day 2.  I started the day with a gigantic baked sweet potato with nutmeg and butter.  I ate about 3/4 of it and chucked the rest.  Too much sweet potato first thing in the day.  I will remember to do potato at supper next time I decide to do this.

I was busy at work in the morning and then had a late lunch of soup and carrot sticks. Meh.  I wasn't feeling the carrot sticks.  I then had to go out for the latter part of the evening and had carrot sticks to snack on.  I also went to Starbucks and used my free reward to buy a bag of Kale Cucumber + Dill crisps. 

Now....I have a guy that works at my Starbucks I frequent, I consider him 'my barista'. I ask him if he's tried the kale crisps and what he thought.  He discouraged me against the cheese flavor, said they were nauseating.  He also told me he absolutely abhors kale, but the cucumber + dill flavor is really good.  I was on the fence, but used my free reward to buy them and went with it anyways. About 5 crisps in I was ready to throw up.  Sorry Starbucks.  Kale is just gross, and please stop selling these.  Yuck.  I took them home and decided I would throw them in a veggie stir-fry. 

When I got home, I was so exhausted and hungry, I took every vegetable I had in the fridge out, and threw some of each into the food processor to slice.  Then dumped it all in the wok and added 1 Tbsp of soy sauce (not allowed on Cabbage soup diet, but I was completely over the "veggie only" day at this point and needed something).  It was by far the best veggie stir-fry I've ever eaten.  Although I wished it had chicken in it. 

Seeing as I've gone 2 complete days without any carbs or meat, I think I'm handling it well.  I started day 3 this morning and was EXTREMELY glad to put fruit back into the mix.  Day 3 is fruit, veggies and soup - a combination of days 1 and 2.  I'm down 2.5lbs in 2 days.  Not too shabby.

I feel much better today, more energized and I haven't had heartburn in 3 days, which if you know me, I eat antacids daily, sometimes hourly, because I eat like crap and my body is yelling at me.  I stopped for my Americano coffee this morning and my barista asked about the kale chips.  I told him I ate 5 pieces and then chucked them.  He felt bad, and gave me a card for my next drink on them!  Thanks barista!  Definitely motivated today to continue.  I have today and tomorrow all planned out.

Cross your fingers for me! hah!
