Day 3

Wow! Alex and I both report feeling really great today! Actually, I had a few headaches throughout the day which I attribute to sugar withdrawal. I'm not sure if that's right, Alex says it's legit, but it sure makes things sound more dramatic. And who doesn't love drama?

So we sort of splurged for breakfast and made bacon and eggs. It was fantastic! I feel like strangely enough I'm craving salt more than sugar- totally weird for me. The bacon satisfied the salt cravings and made me completely full until like 1 in the afternoon. Last night I made salmon to have for lunch today and it turned out really well. We put lemon juice, dill, chives and lime wedges in with the salmon to cook and it came it smelling so nice I almost at it at 10:30 at night. But it made for an excellent lunch today.

Then there was dinner... Alex, cooking? What? Yeah, turns out we make a pretty good cooking

team. Sometimes I pull the control freak card and insist on doing things my way (unheard of, right?), but when we work together we really actually do work together!

We chopped up a lot of vegetables for this beef stir fry- celery, carrots, onion, mushroom, green

peppers, garlic (vegetable? not sure on that one...), I think that's it. It's really great having all of the vegetables you could possible want on hand at all times but we learned the hard way today for the first time that you definitely have to go through them fast.

We threw away our first item- an avocado that looked whiteish in spots and felt too squishy to eat. Avocados are the best too. Dang. Lesson learned.

This whole cooking thing is a bit time consuming. We can already tell that if we manage to keep this going, or at least keep a version of this going, we'll have to come up with something more efficient to keep the time necessary to cook these meals to a minimum. Not that I wouldn't like to cook instead of study, it's just that Alex will need all the time he can get ;)

It's been well worth it thus far- check out the completed dinner meal below... MMmmm.
