Chocolate!

I just made chocolate sauce from 1 tbs. local honey, 1 tbs. cocoa powder, and a splash of scalding hot water.  And I'm eating it on strawberries.  I just shut up several insane cravings with this mixture, and I don't feel that I'm cheating at all.  I guess cocoa powder is technically processed cocoa beans, but hey, give me a break.  There's no white processed devil sugar, right?

Day 11
July 17, 2012

Breakfast:  omelet with peppers and spinach.

Lunch:  carrots and almond butter.

Dinner:  One bbq-ed chicken drumstick that my mom made (I took off the skin), salad, tomato/cucumber/red onion salad.

Evening snack:  My sister talked me into going to get fro-yo.  They have a pineapple option that is dairy-free, so I got an itty bitty serving of that topped with cashews, strawberries, blueberries and mango.

Day 12
July 18, 2012

Breakfast:  one egg over-medium over sauteed spinach.

Lunch:  tomato/cucumber/red onion salad, and a handful of grapes.

Afternoon Snack:  One carrot.

Dinner:  Chicken soup made with one chicken breast, one carrot, one celery stalk, one green onion, s/p, garlic, water.  I served it over baby spinach.  I ate it by myself, because no one in my family would eat that many vegetables in one sitting!  But this did open a nice debate between my dad and me about carbs.  I did also have a couple spoonfuls of my banana/avocado/blueberry 'ice cream', and it's dang tasty.  Next time I want to use an ice cream maker so it's easier to eat.

Evening snack: Strawberries with the chocolate sauce mentioned above.

Tomorrow begins a long 'weekend' of activities that will be temptation overload - I hope I can stay on track!  It's been easy so far... but then again, I've been at home the whole time.
