Last night I went for dinner with a woman I knew from high school, and her ten-year-old son. As we are both on budgets, we went to Swiss Chalet, and had a very pleasant conversation. And I ate a huge dinner - 1/4 chicken (dark meat) and a 1/2 slab of ribs, along with fries and a small pot of coleslaw, and then to cap it all off I ate half of a very rich chocolate fudge cake for dessert. The cake was to hush up a longing for a restaurant dessert, since I can't eat most of them as they contain either cream, ice cream or cinnamon. But the meat - oh that was the real treat. I ate every scrap of it, fat and all.
And today I feel not like I pigged out, but as if I restored some sort of equilibrium to my body. I cannot feel that I am getting enough protein on the CFG. Grains, sure, plenty. Fruits and veg, way more than I am accustomed to eating, though it feels odd not to think of them as 'free'. Dairy, I'd enjoy more but don't feel any real need for more. But meat - oh my goat. I think I found my carnivore escape clause, and it is called "rank defiance of the guidelines"!
I went for a walk at lunchtime yesterday with a colleague. A very pleasant walk, but the shoes I had on blistered my feet nicely. Mules for me today! Because I can't bear to spend a day chafing those blisters on my heels. And hopefully it will be hot enough today that I can swim after work.
Time to go make my breakfast, lunch, snack....
