Days of abstinence: 54
Days until surgery: 28
Weight: 159.8 pounds
I baked sea salt chocolate chip cookies before
all of the kids arrived. I did not eat
any of them. Two of my grandchildren asked me if I would bake with them and I
told them I would after dinner on Sunday.
So last night I baked cocoa buttermilk cupcakes with Sharlynne and I
baked brownies with Taren. I did not eat
any of them, either. I didn’t even lick
the spoon! It feels a little odd to bake
something and not taste it before I serve it to others, but I was assured that
both were delicious. In fact, Sharlynne
said the cupcakes were marvelous! I see
it as a real victory to get through these five days with a lot of visitors,
cooking a lot every day, and even baking treats, and not eating any sugar at
all! Yeah!
I did go very slightly off of the Whole30
program and I am paying for it today in the form of stomach cramps and loose
stools. I ate two things off program in
the last couple of days. The first is
cheese on the potato skins (I ate a couple on Saturday and a couple on Sunday)
and the second is a little bit of flour in the gravy that I made for the mashed
potatoes. Oh, and there was whole butter
and milk in the mashed potatoes. I am
not sure if the culprit causing the gut issues is wheat or dairy, but I am
eliminating both today. I guess considering the fact that I’ve been
making pancakes, waffles, and baked goods, along with everything else for three
meals a day for a large family, these minor deviations from the Whole30 aren’t
bad. It’ll feel good to be 100% on
program again, though.
I can’t believe my surgery is only 28 days
away. Yikes!! I might just freak out.
The kids will be up shortly and I need to make
breakfast for them one last time before they hit the road, so I’m going to run.
Have a beautiful day.
