Yippie! Seven days down! Feeling good right now. Made the lemon meltaways from the 21 DSD book and the salmon salad as well. Also made almond butter, pumpkin pie granola and pumpkin pancakes. The fiance wanted the pumpkin pancakes, also from the 21 DSD book, so I figured why not. I didn't think I was missing sugar until I tasted all the pumpkin stuff I made. I wanted to add honey and maple syrup to everything I made today! Which reminds me that I didn't eat my apple today. Maybe that is why I was craving sugar more than usual.
The pumpkin granola I made was inspired by PaleOMG's recipe here. I didn't have any pumpkin seeds, or pecans, so I used walnuts and almonds. I added some poppy seeds because I thought that would be fun. I tried to add sunflower seed kernels, I sorta succeeded. Have you ever tried to shell about 100 of those things? Forget it. I tried some eHow thing and it was a mess, and a pain in the you-know-what. I hate wasting stuff and had the almost empty bag staring me in the face. Back to the recipe, I omitted the dates and maple syrup to be 21 DSD compliant. That's it. I so badly wish I could have added maple syrup, it would be so delish! But that will have to wait 2 more weeks.
Did you know cats love coconut oil? I've been working with it all day and decided to put some on as lotion when I was finished. As I'm typing this I've been licked by both the cats. I don't like that scratchy tongue feeling, and besides they're licking of all my moisturizer. Can cats even have coconut oil? Let's hope.
I'm feeling really good, even after making a bunch of stuff for the past 5 hours. Even just finished some yoga. Whoop whoop. Sleep is just ok, I've complained about that before and don't feel like doing it again.
What did I eat today? I don't remember actually, haha, let me see...
Breakfast: Jicama and guac
Lunch: Tilapia and salad
Dinner: pumpkin pancakes with almond butter
Snacked on some granola and coconut butter as I made recipes
Sounds like I didn't eat much, but if felt like I did. I'm pretty full!
I'm still pretty pumped and hope fiance still is, our schedules are like direct opposites and we fought today instead of talking about all the stuff I think about when he's not around. Story of my life. I'm bummed because it appears that we will not be having a vacation of any kind. I wanted to go camping for crying out loud, clearly I need to get away!!
