Monday

I'm not sure whether the scale was off all weekend, or if yesterday's eating did it.  150.8 this morning after two mornings at 149.0.  We introduced rice - and possibly got along too well.  We shall see.  Here's yesterday:

• scrambled eggs
• bacon
• ham
• tea with cream
• no supplements (oops)
• cheese
• walnuts
• a very few potato chips
• chocolate almonds - about 4
• roast chicken
• rice cooked with chicken broth and mirepoix, with a few peas thrown in
• candy almonds (the ones from a couple of Christmases ago, that look like olives) - about 6 of them

Not a great day, actually.  Spent the weekend cooking; made some intense beef stock along with the chicken, and had stuffed peppers for dinner Saturday.  Pot roast is going in the crockpot as we speak - we'll be having it with braised cabbage for dinner.  

I did re-read PHD over the weekend.  I'm thinking I need to pay attention to the cravings and figure out what they're saying about nutrient deficiencies.  Salt seems to be one thing I crave, certainly - crunchy salty things.  Chocolate sometimes, but that seems to be slowing down - possibly the copper supplements are helping?  Maybe the salt craving speaks to iodine after all?  Dunno.  I should try eating the pickles when I'm in that mood - instead of the walnuts, certainly.

Interesting week ahead - fasting for Ash Wednesday, except that I have a lunch thing with a staffing supplier scheduled.  So I will be fasting breakfast and dinner, and eating a salad for lunch.  Best I can do under the circumstances, I think.

At least I got some sleep last night - Saturday night was utter crap.  So, something.
