Day 1 is past....Day 2 is even better!

Well, this is day 2 of the Elimination Diet, and although I have been having some dizzy spells, it may be due to the heavy yard work I was doing today! I recently started on a blood pressure medicine, and I think I am still adjusting to it!
Anyway, as to the diet... I weighed in fully clothed at work yesterday, and saw the scary number of 219 lbs! Wow! No wonder I feel tired! I am only 5'1"! My first day went well...and then my husband prepared dinner. That was my mistake. I told him what my diet was, but he is not any better off than I in the fitness area...he is actually worse! (My opinion!) He made chicken and a fresh tomato chunky sauce to go with it....the chicken was breaded... I did eat it...but mine was only with the fresh tomato sauce...no cheese, no pasta. Before bed, I boiled some eggs for the next day, and so glad I did! I was on the run in the morning, and ate egg and had a few strawberries and water. This held me over until lunch, which was also egg and an apple. I went food shopping and had the urge for something with a crunch. I bought celery....but that wasn't what I wanted. I found some rice chips in a bag (gluten and dairy free) and ate them! They were good and I didn't feel left out. My husband ate a whole frozen pizza, and I ignored him... (I don't like them anyway)
I noticed a few things today....there were several times I felt HUNGARY!
It is harder when you share the house with someone who will not go on the diet, and who will bring ice cream, and other foods around...on a hot day!
Shopping in the store, I kept looking and saying "Everything is another vehicle for sugar!"
(Well, not everything...but it was surprising how much sugar there is in so many products!)
Oh, I forgot to tell you about "breakfast"...I had eaten a hard boiled egg and then we were out the door to the garden store! My husband said Let's stop at McDonalds! He want's me to come in with him, since he will be eating inside... I got an orange juice and a hash brown....and had a hard time finishing it! He had his double egg mcmuffin breakfast with hash brown and coffee.
I was proud of myself for having control.
Pictures coming in the am!
