Yup yup! I'm not doing it for weight-loss, but I'll take the fact that I'm down 10 lbs, with the SLIGHTEST of effort. I guess the effort has been a little more than slight, given all the ingredients to avoid, but I don't feel like I've been starving, I actually feel like I'm eating more. It'd be nice to lose 10 more in the next 11 days, but I'd be satisfied with 5. A pound a day seems a little extreme, but 1/2 a pound a day seems normal.
My no Zyrtec experiment failed. By 3p yesterday, my right hand had broken out in hives, and by the time I went to bed, (warning - TMI to follow), I was itching ALL over. Like, in my pants, itchy. So, I'm guessing I'm not yet clear of Candida, and if this continues AFTER the cleanse, I'm going to talk to my Gyn to order a true test, and see if she could give me an RX for Diflucan or the like. I'd prefer to go the natural route, but if it takes a prescription to get me baseline, I'm down for that.
I also think I'm going to cut out cow's dairy, as much as possible, and to replace it with goat's. And even then, probably only on special occasions (weekends), and that's assuming I get the candida under control. We might even eat paleo during the week, as I'd still like to lose about 20 lbs. We shall see.
Hubs ended up making dinner last night, after I had to do some snuggly sewing. The tortillas tasted like delicious coconut pancakes, so I'm not sure I'd call them a win. In most of the other coconut-flour applications, the coconut flour didn't come through as much, so I'm actually wondering if he accidentally used the fine flaked coconut instead of the flour, but he's no dummy, so I'm sure he followed the recipe as it was listed. They'd be delicious covered in syrup, but I'm not sure that they serve well in place of a corn or flour tortilla. Nonetheless, taco meat is delicious.
What I'm MOST excited for is PIZZA TONIGHT!!! I mean, I should probably say, "pizza", as this is paleo/gluten free, and of course, no cheese (though I'm on a hunt for some vegan cheese that's candida-safe, so if I find that, then winner, winner, pizza dinner!). I think I'm going to go for a 'supreme' pizza flavor, assuming I can find some turkey pepperoni and Italian sausage. As always I'll keep you posted. I'm still on the hunt for something delicious tomorrow night for dinner, but may just end up getting steaks. Who doesn't love a steak?
**OOH! Found this recipe to try, to make "cheese" for the pizza. I'll keep you posted!
**Updated! I had to go on such a scavenger hunt looking for turkey pepperoni, that I didn't get home early enough to make the things for Pizza. We wouldn't have eaten dinner until 1130p. We had steaks and brussel sprouts, instead, and will make pizza and cheese tomorrow.
Here's the game plan for today:
Day 19 Menu:
Breakfast: 2 scrambled eggs, with diced tomato and green pepper, cumin and chili powder
Lunch: Leftover Taco Meat Salad, with cucumber, avocado, and 2 TBSP (no-vinegar) salsa
Dinner: New York Strip Steak, grilled onions, roasted brussel sprouts
