Yesterday was a Protein/Veggie day. I figured out to make my favorite homemade ratatouille fairly low-fat. Before, when I sauteed the eggplant, it would take loads of olive oil. Instead, I pre-baked the eggplant in a hot oven before I added it to the zucchini, squash and crushed tomatoes which had been sauteed in Pam. I is a cookin genie-ass. It turned out pretty damn tasty. Although, I must admit, as I was eating it for dinner, my thoughts strayed on how good it would taste being lovingly caressed in a bowl of pasta. *gasp*
I've noticed that doing pure protein days really makes me appreciate my vegetables when I get them on protein/veggie days. To me, fairly bland zucchini and squash taste-of-the-gods yummy when I've been denied them, even if it's just for a day. Ray laughed at me for making my "O" face the first time I had vegetables after my 7 long days on Attack. It was *that* good. (Oy, no wonder I'm fat.)
But let me just say, with a little planning and stick-to-ness, this damn diet works. I'm SOOOO excited about being thinner. I want it so bad. It will be mine. Oh yes, it will be mine.
Just noting this for posterity... Yesterday afternoon, specifically after lunch, I felt weak like a kitten. Not sure what was up with that. I have not felt that way since the second day of the diet. When I got home, all I wanted to do was lay down and nap. I didn't, but it was just unusual.
