Oh thanks so much for the reminder about the "chocolate"!!!!! I just happened to have all of the ingredients, and boy did I need some!
I also made a batch of hummus, boiled some eggs, browned some lean ground beef (to sprinkle in my scrambled eggs, or whatever, when I feel the need for something "stiff"). I also made a batch of taco salad meat (this is something the whole family can enjoy - I just leave off the chips and cheese). I made a large batch of gazpacho, too, as I really enjoy this in the summertime and it is so handy for a quick lunch. I sliced/cut up a bunch of veggies so I can have a quick stir-fry, or add them to salads. I just like everything being done and handy...it keeps me from wandering around the kitchen and "thinking" too much!
The second week of this diet is always the hardest, to me. How long will you stay on it, Cindy? I really need to stay on it at least 4-6 weeks, in order to really make a difference. 6 weeks is best. Then I'll occasionally add a little something here and there. Or I'll stick to it faithfully on weekdays, and allow a little cheating on the weekends.
I have found that my main culprits, though, are wheat and sugar. And those are the things I find myself craving. I've never really been a big sweet-eater, too, but I find myself wanting something sweet!
