Breakfast: 1 cup protein cereal, 2 Tbs raisins and 1/2 cup almond milk

Snack: 6 oz plain Greek yogurt with stevia and 1 cup fresh strawberries

Lunch: Tomato basil low carb wrap with deli turkey, light mayo and lettuce. 1 grapefruit (which was delicious!)

Dinner: Mixed lettuce with canned chicken breast, 1/2 chopped apple, 1 Tbs pepitas and 2 Tbs light French dressing. (Not pictured…biscuits and gravy–whaaaat?????)

I finally saw the doctor today. My samples tested free of bacteria, but I had a low grade fever and very low blood pressure. They are leery of throwing more antibiotics at it so we are going to watch and see. In the meantime, he suggested I go back to the chiropractor. That surprised me, but I’m glad to go.

So for now, hydrate, hydrate, hydrate (with my darling new water cup.) I’ll keep taking the herbal that did the most help for me and sipping kombucha tea to rebuild natural cultures. And I think I will slowly do some exercise, walking and a plank or something and see how it goes. That’s tomorrow and I’m excited about the thought. I feel like I’ve missed the first two weeks of this challenge and am ready to go for it.

My food choices today were really good until dinner. The calories in my original supper was on the low end and I was still hungry without a good idea of what to eat. So I ate a portion of the biscuit and gravy dinner I made for the family. I’m worried about the carbs but I’m still under 1600 calories for the day. And I’m plenty hungry tonight–so hoping for progress anyway.

I tried on skinny pants again at the store today–they finally looked passable, so I ordered a discounted pair of the same thing off ebay. I ordered a size smaller, since I’m confident that I’ll need them by the end of the challenge. I’m hoping they will be ok for teaching in.
