Day 14 - TWO WEEKS!

Two weeks down! Really?! It hasn't been that bad. Now, I did "cheat" with the "chocolate" chips. But other than that, I feel like things are good.

I will say, I reverted to a bad, bad habit last night. I mentioned that I bought some almond butter. I'm usually good about consuming it sparingly, given its price, but last night. I did eat about a 1/4 jar in one sitting. I didn't realize I was missing this kind of thing, but it felt great to eat with a spoon out of the jar. I found this Barney Butter Bare Almond Butter at the Walmart Grocery (I know, shut up. Once I'm rich, I will avoid, but for now, they're good for my budget) by my house, and it is SO good. It's on my list to pick up more today. I think it was around $5.00 for 10 oz, which compared to Peanut Butter is CRAZY! It's another thing I will use, though sparingly moving forward, to keep on plan.

Tomorrow is the halfway point! Already! So I will confirm it' snot that bad, at all. I mean, it was hard to get used to, and I think hubby is still struggling a bit, though I'll say he's taking it like a champ, but I feel like it's really making a difference. I didn't take my Zyrtec until 330a last night, as we fell asleep on the sofa watching TV, and I felt zero itches at that point. Maybe I'll try to cut back to 1/2 a pill tomorrow, at the halfway point and see if I can make it through the night. That should help wean the sleep dependency, too, though last night, it clearly wasn't an issue.

As for meals today, it's all leftovers. There's a benefit tonight for a friend of mine who's in treatment for breast cancer, and has had an all around hard time of it lately. It's burlesque, which I LOVE to watch, but it's also at a bar, and will be really hard not to at least have one drink. I'll do my best.

Hubs will be on his own for dinner, so I'll leave him the leftover steak from last night, and will eat the grilled veggies in some form. Oooh, maybe scrambled in some eggs. IDK yet. Like I said, I need to get the groceries for this week today, and have an errand to run for the benefit tonight, and well, meals are going to take a backseat for once. So, I will provide a suggested menu, and what I would eat if I were going to take the time to be thoughtful about food today:

Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs with tomato, 1/2 avocado

Lunch: Leftover Spaghetti Squash with Paleo Meat Sauce

Dinner: Leftover grilled veggies, scrambled into two eggs, Salsa
