14 Day Flat Belly Diet: Hello! Did you miss me???

So, obviously, this post is going to cover Days 4,5, and 6.

Let me first tell you this:
Emotional drama on Days 4 and 5. Crying, getting upset over stupid stuff. Thursday night (Day 5) was really bad --- cried and cried and cried, almost cried myself to sleep. Hubby tried and tried and tried, but I still cried and cried and cried. It's almost laughable now, 36 hours later, but it wasn't funny at the time. In fact, I remember being pretty angry, "Why does it have to be like this? I have to watch what I eat so closely, take supplements, exercise, meditate/pray/whatever you want to call it, and I STILL end up like this? Then other people eat whatever they want, never exercise, and don't have a spiritual bone in their body and they're just happy as turtledoves!" I felt like I must have done something pretty horrific in another lifetime to end up with this fate.

Of course, I got over it.

And the thing I didn't mention in all of that is behavioral modification therapy. Basicallying, you have to re-train yourself on how to react to things that can trigger your depression or rage or anxiety or whatever your neurosis happens to be. Yeah, well, therapy costs money, so that's gonna have to wait. Oh well.

Let me next tell you this:
I started my supplement regimen, coincidentally, on Day 4. I spent about $50 at Vitamin Shoppe on the following:
Fish Oil capsules
L-Glutamine
Biotin
Acidophilus
and I already had Centrum Mulitvitamin/Multimineral and Tryptophan at home.

I take one of each of everything but the tryptophan with breakfast in the morning. The tryptophan I take three of at bedtime. It's supposed to help with sleep. I only took it for the first time last night, so I can't really say for sure if it's a cure for my sleeplessness, especially since last night I went to bed at 1 and didn't get up 'til 9, which is what my body seems to naturally prefer vs. 10pm and and 6:30.

Okay, onto the food:

I will share some pics, since I don't really want to go through EVERY LITTLE THING I had to eat over the last 3 days.

This sandwich was rough - no dressing of any kind. D-RY! Also, I learned a valuable lesson this week: you MUST toast spelt bread. It tastes waaaaay better and it doesn't fall apart when you make a sandwich.

Isn't this pretty? Tomatoes from the Farmer's Market are soooooo much better than even the best tomatoes at the best grocery stores!

Like I said before, toasted is much better. I couldn't even wait to take a pic! I had to get a bite! Very yummy, indeed.

Yet another delicious meal. That is chicken off of a rotisserie chicken from the store, in case you're wondering. I lightly salted the cauliflower and ate half the avocado quarter with salt and the other half without.
