Nighttime Day 2

So I had my first chicken in a looooong time.  It was pretty good, but there was a red veiny thing that kinda creeped me out.  The menu was:

3 oz. boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 C crimini mushrooms sauteed with 1 tsp olive oil
1/2 C cooked brown rice
Sassy water

The chicken was supposed to be grilled, but it was way cold out and I totally forgot we have a Forman, so I did it in a pan with some cooking spray.  I also put some Mrs. Dash on it before I cooked it.  The mushrooms were the highlight.  I love mushrooms!  But I can't use salt, and garlic is not on the list of approved spices, so they were a little boring.  I have been Mrs. Dash-ing everything (as you may have noticed) because it is one of the only approved things to use.  I never realized what a salt addict I am until now.

The best part about this diet is the Sassy water.  The name is stupid, but man is it yummy!  I find water boring, which is why I drink so much juice and diet soda.  But with the ginger, cucumber, mint and lemon, the water is so refreshing and flavorful!  Even if I don't stick with this particular diet, I will definitely keep making this water.  (And with a little rum, it would be a tasty mojito!)

My hunger level today was a little higher than yesterday.  I have had a little twinge of hunger for most of the day about 1-2 hrs after eating.  I know that I just need to shrink my stomach down and get used to eating smaller, normal sized portions, but it is tough.  I am trying to stay full on water.  I am used to Weight Watchers, where even if you use all your points, there are 0 pt. snacks that you can have.  This is 3 meals and a snack, period.  I think it gets more flexible after the first 4 days.

I just made plans for the weekend with friends.  We will see how tough it is to eat out on the FBD...
