Determined!

I had my 4th appointment Monday morning to go over the next phase of my protocol.  I am determined and the tapioca I purchased to mix in with coconut milk is out!  This next phase sounds challenging but will not be.  I will move on and overcome the candida die off and NOT BE CRABBY!  D pointed that one out this morning.

This is what my typical morning looks like.  I type and eat at my dining room table and fight off Nostrand as she tries to be cute and sneak a paw on the plate.

Random breakfast with leftover BBQ - So Yum!  All those greens!  I'm really trying to branch out on the greens - if there is one I haven't had or haven't had in a while,  I'm grabbing it.  This week is collard greens and napa cabbage

Monday nights dinner with my new added fruit.  I debated if plantains were really a fruit or a starch, but it depends on the ripening stage they are in.  On the green side starchier and on the more yellow speckled brown the sweet they are.  They were put in the fruit category.  Plantain chips with eggs, roasted vegetables on top of red leaf lettuce, avocado and I topped it with a little mayo - the good stuff, no fillers and junk here!  I figured I would have a little mayo since it has eggs and was egg day.

I started my new supplements last night (Wednesday) It's candida killing time.  So far so good.  There are 3 additional supplements and new shakes!

This week I have just felt hungry.  I have eaten 6 chicken thighs in 2 days.  In all not bad given all I do exercise wise.  This morning, I ran 6 miles, nothing out of the ordinary.

Breakfast this morning - chicken thigh that was cooked in broth, bacon, green beans, spinach, napa cabbage, olives and avocado.  There was extra broth at the bottom and it was fabulous.  I think tomorrows breakfast should be kinda on the soupy side.

I had to stop at the store on my way to work and decided to get a low sugar kombucha.  This was my first green kombucha.  It was sweet at first and a little bitter at the end.  I think I like the Triology the best.  For lunch I came home and had 4 scoops of my new mixed berry shake (360 cals, not that I'm counting) and a chicken thigh.  I was pretty good until 4pm, it was only a couple hours, so clearly not enough calories.  I still find if I eat a full lunch and the shake I am too stuffed for dinner.  Maybe a small lunch with the shake would be better.  A big bowl of roasted veggies, or a salad.  Experimenting is needed!

I cooked a pretty fabulous dinner - 2 eggs cooked in the leftover bacon grease from the 2 strips, green beans, broccoli topped with guacamole and over baked plantains.  I have been looking forward to those since Saturday when I bought them and they didn't disappoint!  I'm thinking that chicken thigh is calling my name though!  I may have to listen.

I have 2 bananas and I know I need to be careful with them since I tested higher on those for allergies.  So I will split one of those for this weekend and save the other for a little later.  Options, I love it!  Next week I get to add nuts and seeds!  Yes!  A small scoop of almond butter is calling my name 😍

Now to get some meditation in!
