Vegetables

Well the title says it all. This diet requires me to eat A TON of vegetables. I made veggie chili yesterday for dinner tonight. I used HOT chili powder, but other than that it was delicious. It was a P.I.N.K recipe. Then tonight, I chopped veggies for mixed veggie soup. And I chopped more veggies and made cauliflower/carrot soup, another P.I.N.K recipe.Then I chopped more veggies for roasted veggies tomorrow. Phew Im tired of chopping veggies! All of these veggies have led to A. weight loss and B gas. First, with the weight loss, I have noticed my pants fitting a little better. I also think Im going to be able to start the P.I.N.K primary a few days sooner. Im reading my book tonight and getting my meals planned. Im going to weigh myself tomorrow and if Ive lost 8 pounds, then Im going to start primary. With the gas, I know its gross to talk about, but man all these veggies are really sticking it to me. I definatly have to roll down the window when we are driving. Sometimes I can just hear my stomach churning. But I know its for a good reason. Also, we had dinner last night with my parents. When they were asking where I could go, my dad said we want to eat where you can go. I said name a place and I can find something to eat there. He said Firehouse Pizza. Immediatly my mouth watered. I LOVE Firehouse Pizza. I said, well I can eat a salad :( So he said, where can we go? We agreed on Applebees. So I ate out again on my diet. I had a salad while my parents and Ian ate queso and chips. I didnt even look up while I was eating my salad. And I just smiled knowing that my salad wouldnt make my jeans fit tighter! For dinner, I had the 7oz sirloin with doubled broccoli since I couldnt have the baked potato. I decided to eat all of the steak since for lunch I didnt have a light protein. (I had Sexy tomato soup, another P.I.N.K recipe) Wow, Im really kicking this diets butt!!! Also wanted to mention that I tried the Silk milk and almond milk. They were decent. I didnt hate them, but didnt love them. I can imagine having silk milk on my cereal, maybe even the almond milk. Ok, so wish my luck with my weigh in! Im heading out to read up on my P.I.N.K primary.
