Day 8 VLCD

Early rise today, I have a doctors appointment, and a fasting blood draw, ugh... Weigh in is 169.5, not too surprised at the small number since I did have an extra piece of coconut oil chocolate, commonly known as CD. I also enjoyed a tsp of peanut butter! For those that know me well, I have a love of Adams all natural and when Tom is in town it's nearly unbearable! After my appointment it's a run to Costco, love the lettuce and apples there. Sadly the drive home was nearly 4pm and I still needed to stop for coconut oil and radishes! Ripping open the bag holding three glorious heads of lettuce I began to feed. Once home I whipped up a bed of lettuce, topped with a portion of cottage cheese (from skim milk) and sliced strawberries on top... simply delightful way to fill my self of loving losses. This is when I once again am reminded of the need to always prepare for the next day with a back up of chicken. I had none ready to eat nor to cook, merely four breasts ready to be trimmed and weighed. Hunger won out with time on it's side and I went with the cottage cheese... now I will have to wait another week for the cheesecake. The breasts are weighed and cooked and second meal of the night enjoyed at a little after 9, leaving plenty of time to blog and relax before my bath, then off to read a new book and dream of tomorrow! I learned today that a dear friend will be joining me on this journey next week so I will be doing a catered lunch, so many wonderful choices for the menu... suggestions? Sweet dreams and happy releases!
