Day Sixteen

I felt really good all day and was pretty much symptom free, except for a few gall bladder pains. I also lost another two pounds. I realized today that I had gotten into the habit of having a blended coffee in the morning and a frozen yogurt in the evening, plus lots of grains during the day. I'm sure that cutting all that out is why I'm dropping so quickly. I have plenty more to spare. I'm really excited about losing the weight and hope it continues at this pace. That would be awesome.

I had left over sweet potatoes and kale for breakfast, and a cup of berries with maple for a light lunch. Then dinner was really late and I was starving. But I still managed to bang this out:

I roasted a butternut squash until tender. Then I mashed half of it with some chicken broth, tossed in some fresh cilantro and fresh basil and some finely diced carrots and grey squash. It was really good but would have totally benefitted from some garlic and nutmeg as well as a bit of some kind of nut milk to make it richer. But it was good as is, no complaints.

As a protein to go with it, I used ground chicken and some of the cilantro, basil, diced carrots and grey squash. These were awesome and went with the soup really well. In fact, I crumbled the last one into the soup and ate them together. Totally yummy!
