Week 16, Day 5, Diet With Dianna

Friday. Yeah, the weekend. Today was a much better day. I felt a bit stronger but I still lack abundant energy. I made a trip to the grocery store and had to sit down a couple of times to catch my breath. I walked at a snail's pace. It took me twice as long to collect the items on my list, but thankfully two of my grids were with me and they ran a grabbed items on our list! WHEW!

I ate a bit more, but nothing really tasted good or even felt all that good after I ate. YUCK. I'm sure that will pass, too. I am still very thirsty and I drank a lot of fluids, today. Water, water, water...the sweet non-calorie things just tasted awful! No thank you.

Exercise
Are you kidding?...I was blessed to make it from the parking lot, through the store and back home without collapsing. HA!

Revelation Knowledge:
Sickness, even that which is temporary and not life threatening, can put a different slant on the food that you eat and like to eat. Nothing tastes good and I don't crave any kind of particular foods.

Breakfast:
Half a whole wheat sandwich round and some sugar free cherry gelatin....burp-blah!

Breakfast S/C: 0/1

NO snacks all day...yuck, no thank you.

Lunch:
I ate a taco because that sounded good.
BIG MISTAKE! YUCK! BURP!

Lunch S/C: 1/1

Dinner:
Piece of chicken tenderloin, roll, and two corn fritter nuggets.
Again, yuck...mistake...will rethink all kinds of better choices tomorrow...not good!

Dinner S/C: 1/1

Total S/C: 2/3

My daughter baked a pumpkin spice cake and decorated it to look like a giant candy corn! It smelled absolutely Autumn delicious. I actually tasted the cake, before it was iced and sugared. It was warm and moist and the cinnamon and nutmeg filled the air. Unfortunately, my taste buds weren't very excited....even though this is a proven super delicious recipe. *Sigh*
 I began dreaming up ways to make a low sugar version, one that is better suited for this diet...I will work on that and do some tests. Will get back with you on this, for sure.
