So I was walking around my garden today and I noticed that a lot of the broccoli was ready to be harvest. I went to the garden shed and grabbed a pair of cutters and went to town on the broccoli.

I had full intentions of taking the fresh cut greens in and steaming them and adding some lettuce, but I just couldn’t wait, and as I was doing some more work around the garden I just started to eat the broccoli raw.

To my surprise it was quite good. I ate at least a bowl full while working in the garden. Not only was I worn out from the work, but I was full as well! What a bonus!

Today was a challenge for me. I woke up a little later than I wanted to 9:30ish and was not hungry at all. Come lunchtime I was a bit hungry so I had a burrito and a salad. Maybe I should not have had the burrito, but if I deprive myself completely this early on I will never be able to stick to the plan.

So for dinner I am going to make a fresh mushroom tortellini to make up for lunch. I will eat that and a salad and drink a lot of water!

I am pretty much giving up on this Sunday! It has always been planned to be my rest/cheat day, but this Sunday is the Superbowl and I will be at my friends house to watch it. I know that there will be tons of bad, but delicious food there and lots of beer!

I will try to avoid the food as much as possible and limit my beer intake! We will see how that works!

Didn’t wake up on time for a true breakfast so I decided to move lunch up a little bit. After running 2 miles and showering I was quite hungry, so I steamed up some vegetables!

This is my 3rd day in a row that I have been able to avoid fast food, my old go-to lunch! While I haven’t had anything to exciting for lunch yet, it has been far healthier!
