I'm sorry guys, it really wasn't that bad but today was by far the hardest day to not cheat.
I didn't cheat! I ate my cabbage soup like a champ.
But I wanted to cheat, and I justified it in my head multiple times.
But guess what...I GET TO EAT OATMEAL IN THE MORNING AND I COULD NOT BE HAPPIER.
yay carbs!!!
I also got a nice Halloween surprise from my oh so wonderful committee family tonight after club.
It contained (are you ready for this?): dark chocolate covered pretzels, mini reeses cups, and sour patch kids.
wowza, I am going to have a great car ride home on Friday because those will be my snacks.
Today wasn't so bad until this afternoon.
I felt sick all day in general, so having diet limitations just was not making anything better.
I also have had tummy trouble all day, so hopefully that will get better by tomorrow.
So here was the menu:
Breakfast -
cabbage soup
Lunch -
cabbage soup
Dinner -
cabbage soup
exciting right? nope.
All I wanted was an apple all day, but I didn't.
I'm very excited about the amount of apples I have at my house though, because tomorrow I am experimenting and making homemade apple crumble! (a recipe will be posted, obviously).
Here's the cabbage soup recipe! (I made 1/2 of what it called for on the website and it was more than enough):
- 1/2 red onion
- 1/2 vadalia onion
- 1 can organic diced tomatoes
- 1 bell pepper
- 1/2 cabbage head, chopped
- 4 celery sticks
- 5 cups of water
- 1 packet of Lipton herb garlic soup mix (the original recipe calls for beefy onion)
Directions:
Dice up all of your veggies and throw them in a pot.
Pour the water in until it barely covers all the vegetables.
After cooking for 15 minutes, empty soup mix into the pot.
Let that cook for a while on the stove until everything is nice and tender
I made my soup on Monday so that I wouldn't have to deal with the hassle.
It was pretty good! I'm really glad it was, since it was literally the only thing I ate today.
Cheers for finishing strong!
