Something sweet.....

I did not eat anything sweet! This was something heart touching from my husband today: he gave me this wonderful hug, and I could feel much more of his arms around me (meaning less of me.) I asked, "Can you tell how much I am shrinking?" So, he hugged me again, I saw a twinkle in his eye, and he said "there is much less of you to hug" with a big smile on his face.

Today was my first TOM, time of the month, since my HCG journey. Following Dr. Simeon's recommendations, I skipped my injection although a little scared of hunger. For my trip today to Whole Foods, I had 100 grams shrimp on board in a little Pyrex container and half a cucumber peeled and sliced plus one nice Braeburn apple. No hunger for the trip, especially with two 16 ounce bottles of instant Yerba Mate plus some left over mineral water from yesterday.

On my shopping list was frozen shrimp, organic strawberries, chard, cabbage, fresh ginger, parsley, cucumbers, apples, celery, and free range chicken. I found some jarred Kefir Lime leaves which will be fabulous in some cabbage soup later this week- going to try for some Tom Kha style soup minus the coconut milk. Eyeing a cute little knit organic top, I imagined myself wearing something like that in the not too far future without reservation with a cool above knee skirt and sandals. I love this diet!

BEST thing that wound up in my cart was a Phase 3 food, bacon; it's good to be Gentile. Look out bacin and eggs next Thursday becasue here I come to Phase 3!
