Yeah, I made bone-in roasted chicken thighs and spaghetti for dinner tonight. My kitchen smelled HEAVENLY, my family loved every bite and I sat there drinking a shake.
I didn’t even lick spilled sauce off my fingers or swallow the pasta when I tested it for doneness.
It’s like I don’t know myself anymore.
Only ONE MORE DAY of these boring shakes (which are actually pretty good)!! I was so desperate for something salty that I swigged a can of low sodium chicken broth this afternoon. I found myself feeling lightheaded- as though my blood sugar had dropped quickly, so I said “Screw the rules! I’m having me some canned chicken broth! And what’s more, I’M GONNA DRINK THE WHOLE DAMN CAN! [Insert evil laugh here]”.
Yeah. I’m a badass. You know it.
For real, though. My biggest (immediate) fear is that I’ll pass out on the way to my surgery on Thursday morning. It’s a two hour drive and I can’t eat anything...luckily hubby is driving me.
I went grocery shopping for the rest of my supplies today. Bought some Cream of Wheat, hummus, and low-fat cream soups. What I REALLY wanted was a deep dish pizza with a side of pork shoulder.
Y’all keep saying that it gets better, so for once I’m going to believe what a stranger on the internet tells me.
Besides, I need to believe that it’s true.
